Me?

I'm going with Parasite Eve and Grippos BBQ potato chips.

The sweet heat makes my mitochondria get all warm and fuzzy. Feels like I can ignite a room.

What would you pick era?

*the food item doesn't have to be something from the poll. It's just there for fun.

*if you pick pizza it comes with pineapple on it. sorry not sorry.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and some beef jerky I guess? I wouldn't even finish playing RDR2 by the time the 3 days are up

Edit: maybe some trail mix instead?

I'd probably pick a Pokemon game because I can find myself glued to them for hours at a time and never get bored, no matter how many times I've replayed them. Smash would also be an option if I can play online.

Not sure about food. Uhhhhhhhh, something with protein I guess?

Probably some kind of high nutrient product, like a yogurt of some kind, and then an online game to keep me from going stir crazy while in isolation.

definitely spaghetti with meatballs, just like the most nutritious option that i like eating that i can think of off the top of my head

for the game if i have online and people to play with probably guilty gear xx, always wanted to sit down and really improve at that one

otherwise dmc3 4 or 5, all of them would be something id be willing to invest a ton of time into

If i can only eat what is listed, pizza and Halo: Reach (I'm on a kick)

If i can choose, burritos, cause they can have a lot of different stuff in em and on em

Give me either Witcher 3 or RDR 2 and the time will fly by.
Pizza is the first food item that comes to mind when I think of gaming and eating.

Right now I'd probably pick Sekiro and burritos. I guess for 3 days I'd pick another game that can last longer like Rainbow 6 Siege. A completed Cyberpunk would also be cool or maybe Death Stranding.

From the list: Supreme Pizza

Online enabled game? League of Legends

Not from list: Tex-Mex Enchiladas
Not online enabled game? The Witcher 3, I believe I'm barely scratching the surface of that game.

FFXIV and pizza. To be honest this hypothetical ain't too far off from some of my more depressed weekends of yore.

20 pounds of prime rib cooked medium rare. Don't even care what game, I'll just be eating prime rib and devising a plan to escape from this weird prison.

Or Maybe Steel Battalion so I can use the controller and/or Xbox to bludgeon my captor to death.

Final Fantasy XIV and indian curry, because it's my fave. I've never been able to get into an MMO, but this would probably be enough time.

If the implication is that I'd have to play the game the entire time, then I'd probably go with Forza Horizon 4. I don't even have to do anything of substance in that game. I could just drive around aimlessly and enjoy myself.

As for the food item, I'd have to go with pork chops.

Some sort of mmo as those are the best to mindlessly not notice time pass, and I guess pizza since I'm not going to spend 3 days eating non-food like chips.

Deadly Premonition and Sinner Sandwiches. Best game with a strangely delicious sandwich to boot! Awesome way to spend 3 days gaming.

Why isn't Sinner Sandwich a poll option, for shame OP!

Civ 6 maybe? I already know how to play that so errr maybe one of the crazy grand strategy games I'm too scared to try. Hearts of iron or ev.

As for food hmmm probably beef or chicken pho.

Pizza! Easy to eat one handed and you don't want wing juice affecting your aim with a slippery controller!

If I'm forced to be stuck in a room, I think I'll go with something healthy, to force me to eat healthier. So I'm going with chicken salads.

For the game... I'll take Cities: Skylines. I can play that for many, many hours. Or maybe I can cheat and get Mega Man Legacy Collection, it would probably take me an entire day to get through every game, and I wouldn't mind replaying each game 3 times.
