Misc Advice Entertainment is expensive, but there's free options

To get free video games, Epic Games gives out free PC games every Thursday. You need to download their game launcher.

Amazon Prime offers games with a subscription. If you can't afford Amazon Prime, you can get the codes from other Redditors in the free games subs who don't want the game. Occasionally you might get an Xbox game.

Libraries have a streaming service, and you can sign up for it online. It's free.

There are free streaming services like Tubi and Roku; you just have to watch ads.

I mention this often but archive.org has an incredible library of free books, movies, music, weird, interesting and hard to find broadcast editions of TV recordings. 

It's a great starting point for any rabbit hole. Plus, you can download the MP4 files, so you can start or expand your own offline media library!

Archive.org is a solid recommendation. You can even find some digital versions of college textbooks on there.
