    I didn't realize that, IIRC most of the Creative Writing aka fanfic boards can be read without logging in, I didn't realize that board was members only.

    A game called "Company of Heroes" is free on Steam, although I don't know much about it.
    https://store.steampowered.com/sale/companyofheroessale

    This week on Epic is a game called "Among us".
    https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/among-us
    Play with 4-10 players online or via local WiFi as you attempt to prepare your spaceship for departure, but beware as one or more random players among the Crew are Impostors bent on killing everyone!
    Life as a Crewmate: Complete all your tasks on the ship to win, but watch out for Impostors! Report dead bodies and call emergency meetings to vote the Impostors out. Hope you chose correctly!
    Play as an Impostor: Cause chaos, sneak around, and frame innocent bystanders! Winning involves killing off every Crewmate - think you’re a master of sabotage?

    I don't know if this is a well-known thing, but Samorost 1 is free on Steam. It's been remastered recently and I can definitely recommend it, it's such a cute little game. Also make sure to check out other games by Amanita Design, as they're all great.

    SB reports that Steam is also giving away:
    On Steam: Warhammer Underworlds: Online
    A PvP dice-and-cards strategy combat game. Normally 10$, so free is free.

    I just found a similar thread on Sufficient Velocity. Some of the older links are still valid.
    https://forums.sufficientvelocity.c...ion-both-for-just-you-and-with-friends.64146/


    Also I thought I posted this last year during The Shutdown, but it turns out I posted it to another forum.
    It's a list of some free books and movies. Most of the links should still work.

    However, for those of you interested, the Baen CD Free Library still has some sites up, includes some good stuff like the Honor Harrington series.
    Various mirrors, some torrent, some direct download. I used the "baencd.thefifthimperium.com" site years ago.
    http://www.allensmith.net/SciFi/Baen/eBooks.htm
    http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/
    http://dak180.dynalias.com/PHP/tracker/
    http://baencd.freedoors.org/
    https://baen.dominikbodi.de/
    http://www.allensmith.net/SciFi/Baen/eBooks.htm

    Classic literature is available from
    http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
    The Australian "mirror" has a surprisingly different collection of stuff
    http://gutenberg.net.au/epub-ebooks.html
    EDIT 2/2023: Standard ebooks has a lot of classic literature. The site is easier to navigate than Gutenberg, although Gutenberg has been around for decades.
    https://standardebooks.org/

    Calibre lists a whole bunch of free e-book providers. The fanficfare plugin can convert fanfiction from popular sites into e-book format for reading on phones, tablets, and e-readers.
    http://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows64
    https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare


    Cruncyroll has lots of anime like Hulu used to.
    http://www.cruncyroll.com


    Have fun, stay healthy. I can't think of many free games to rec off-hand, but the first two Elder Scrolls games available from Bethesda.
    https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/arena
    https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/daggerfall

    Mechcommander and MechCommander2 is freeware
    https://www.sarna.net/wiki/MechCommander_2
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11457
    https://gamestand.net/dl/mechcommander-gold/

    EDIT: UPDATED Mechcommander 2 links
    http://www.thegameengine.org/mechcommander-2/mechcommander-2-freeware-download
    http://www.thegameengine.org/mechcommander-2/mechcommander-2-freeware-download

    MechWarrior 4 was available as freeware, but my links are broken. Same with Command and Conquer.

    Dink Smallwood is another
    http://www.reloaded.org//download/Dink-Smallwood/14/
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rtsoft.rtdink
    https://www.rtsoft.com/pages/dink.php

    The Ur-Quan Masters aka Star Control II
    http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

    Lots more mentioned here.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games_released_as_freeware


    I did not know Marathon was freeware, I thought only Marathon 2 was available outside the Mac platform. Halo can be considered a spiritual successor to the Marathon Trilogy. Marathon predated Halo by almost 10 years but introduced a bunch of concepts recycled for the story, like AI's going Rampart.
    http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/
    I haven't tried it, I last played the trilogy was on my PowerMac 6500/300, a computer that died in 2008.

    The original thread was here, but you need to join the "CaerAzkaban" group.
