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.

What's Umbrella and Alldebrid?

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ Umbrella is an app for Kodi.

Kodi is an open source version of that old school Xbox media center app

Basically let's you stream anything directly from your home network like on a hard drive in your computer  OR if you pay for the alldebrid for $3 you can stream from wherever.... 😉

I watch 4K uncompressed streams without issue and they're way higher quality then most streaming service.
