Retro gaming is fun. If you don't mind pirating games, you can put all of the N64 games, SNES, Gameboy, lots of MS-DOS classics, C64, Playstation 1/2 games, Arcade games etc on it and play some Frogger or Banjo-Kazooie. That'll fill 256GB. Emulators are available on many platforms. Raspberry Pi, Android, PC, ...
You can also stick it into the SD-Card slot of your laptop and use it as additional storage.
If your devices are a bit older: There are adapters to use micro-SD cards in devices that only accept full-size cards. They come for free with some micro-SD cards or should cost a few cents.
archive.org has some old games. Some of them are legal to download or abandonware and somewhat a grey area. Illegal sources for 256GB torrents of old games would be something like www.arcadepunks.com or maybe rompacks.com but I wouldn't recommend pirating games from your own internet connection especially not with bittorrent.
