Music, music, and more music. I would say books but I read too fast, they wouldn't last. Might as well just remember the stories I have already read. Well, actually - my favorite books please yes.

Maybe just Valheim. Boy are we going to feel silly if we brought two copies!
Ebooks.
It's still probably not close to enough for my ebooks, but at least it makes a dent. Even terrible quality video adds up fast.
GZDoom + supporting .WAD files: ~130MB installed.
Ultimate Doom Builder: ~35MB installed.
Foobar2000 + .mod file support: ~13MB installed.
OpenMPT: ~21MB installed.
Okular: 230MB installed.
Fill the rest up with community maps/mods, tracker files and ebooks.
flabbergasted that this was more or less how i was going respond to the question
500,000 pages of ASCII-encoded books.
Only 128 characters? Youβre gonna have issues converting everything to ASCII when you canβt even write βcafΓ©β.
For sure games since they offer a lot of replayability. Maybe some reaading materials since they also don't occupy a lot of space.
ROMS of retro games.
Bro forgot to bring an emulator... Enjoy staring at binary code or something.
wouldnt be an issue if you have the hardware to run said roms.
Text of an average book is 100,000 letters; with a very smart and optimized compression/prediction algorithm (which hopefully is far smaller than 1GB), it is reasonable to expect a single char to be less than half a byte in size, so 50kB per book (saving without covers of course), this would mean around 20,000 books in a GB (not really, the compression algorithm probably also takes quite some MBs)β which should be enough for quite some time.
Even 7zip can compress a large text file to less than 25% of it's original size. The installer is less than 2MB. There are even better compression algorithms for text than 7zip though.
Books!
If you ignore the covers, 1GB could have 1000's of books.
My ebpubs are 2,700 files at 1.5GB. And that's with all the extra crap like JPGs and tons of dupes. I could read forever on 1GB.
Exactly
Random name, npc, map generators for tabletop roleplaying. Itβs just text and lookup tables. You can fit a lot of that in 1gb.
I guess raw text files of books would be the best bang for your buck.
Compress those suckers!
A guide to learning and programming language and a compiler for said programming language. Maybe Godot.
What are you going to do with the other 900mb?
Make a video game
well; if I start with this: https://www.hvsc.c64.org/downloads Which is 58K songs in 80MB (which is enough to last several lifetimes)
Or I could get a mod tracker and some files from ftp://ftp.modland.com/pub/playlists/ and I would have the ability in a few 100 MB to make the type of music I enjoy (It would take 150GB to get every sample of every sound used in the entire world)
Hit up https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php if you want a bunch of awesome demos ranging from 32 bytes all the way up to 32KB per
unxz.c is 60KB of code and everything you need to build it from source (with literally nothing but hex) only takes up 1.4MB of space https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix/
and with unxz, untar and ungz basically Text compresses extremely well and you'll have a hundred lifetimes of books thanks to https://gutenberg.org/
But movies like S1m0ne (2002), Sneakers (1992) and Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) could also fit too.
An emulator and a shitton of old roms. The further back you go, the smaller they get. I'll probably splurge on a few choice games over 100mb with good pvp or co-op to play with my partner, but the vast majority will be under 5mb.
My old Pii-200 dos box has literally humdreds of games on a 1gb hdd
Every Atari 2600 game ever made is like 2MB compressed :)
Porn
50/50 chance amirite

I know, I know, RAM, not actually storage, but still.
Give me Emacs, gcc, binutils, Python, bash, FORTH, js, ncurses, and Cataclysm DDA, etc etc.
It would be fun to really dive deep into CDDA both playing/modding but also to reinvent the entire game. Like what if a rogue-like were on a curved interior cylinder? What if it wasn't dystopian but instead a more pseudo utopian world builder in an O'Neill cylinder.
Yeah, I would have forever unlimited games. I might even explore all of CDDA once.
I would totally love a Rendezvous with Rama-like game. Explore a massive world inside the cylinder.
Lots of epub files!
Thatβs only about 5% of the text of Wikipedia. Maybe Iβll take just the top 100k articles.
Animal Well is 30mb. That's my start.
128k mp3s
flcl in 240p. the shittiest version to fit size constraints of john frusciante's The Empyrean & glassjaw's my color green and coloring book
MIDIs of my favourite melodies, some actual music, probably just my favourites from my playlists over the years, ASCII encoded books and ROMs of old games with an emulator
Halo CE should be around 600mb.
Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.
I've got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there's a few series I could go without reading for a long time.
Welp...Slay the Spire is apparently 1gb installed, so it'll probably be that
One of those compressed Wikipedia dumps, and a whole bunch of retro games. And several MB of text-only ebooks. Compressed of course.
OK, it seems I can bring my current music library. I experimented with it a bit now, and I guess I could get used to 12kbps Opus or 12.65kbps AMR-WB (they sound comparable). It kinda sounds like off-tuned FM radio, not the much more awful artifacts of MP3 or AAC.
Although... can I bring a cassette tape player? It's analog, so tapes won't fall under this limit. Then I could possibly digitize it. Similarly with movies on film. I don't know what equipment I can take though. Movies on film, photos on paper, books on paper, music on tapes, hmmm... I guess that would be some games then. What counts under the media though? Just the games themselves, emulation software, entire OS?
A super hi-fidelity version of Darudeβs « SandstormΒ Β»
A zip file full of text files containing a ton of knowledge necessary to complete the journey, and a bunch of books. Maybe an emulator and a few nes games.
The entire NES amd GB catalog and 200mb of N64 titles
How much drugs is equal to 1Gb?
Ebooks and big finish audio dramas
50% books maximum compression 25% music 128kb or maybe 96kb 25% video, cartoons compress the best, very low quality audio, very low resolution, very low framerate. Probably my favorite episodes from Futurama, Bluey.
I'd rather have loads of shitty quality content than a few choice pristine copies of high quality stuff.
I might also consider reducing each of those by half and including One of the smaller 250-500mb LLM and have it draft out ideas for stories and sit around writing code to make it generate content.
How much do I like this other person? Are they a friend? Enemy? Stranger? Thatβs an important factor.
