Entertainment List for the Bored and Stuck at Home
Here are some recommendations for those who need something.
Reading:
Scribd: about $9.00 a month unlimited books and audio books great selection perfect for an avid reader I haven't found anything that can compare.
Novel Updates: I like cheap (storywise its all free) web novels
Library: If you have a library card lots of books you can borrow online now.
Kindle: Eh its okay but it's $10 and not as good as Scribd or even what I could borrow from a digital libary
Music:
Spotify free with commercials lots of podcasts and music to listen to
Gaming:
Steam: PC gaming store last week they gave away one of the Laura Croft games for free which I grabbed and they have daily sales.
Watching
Youtube: all kinds of content for free something for everyone
Tiktok: Addictive 15-60 second videos of all types
Arts and Crafts
Knitting is very soothing its slightly meditative
Coloring is relaxing tons of adult coloring books available

Don't think you can install Spotify here yet unless you nip over to Vietnam quickly, install it, and come back.dontbeasourlemon wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:53 pm Music:

Epic might still have World War Z for free, but it was kinda shit anywaydontbeasourlemon wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:53 pm Gaming:

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

San Francisco's Internet Archive have opened a free "National Emergency Library" during the crisis, with nearly 1.5 million books in it. Best use it now, as apparently publishers and writers are getting all salty about it:

Tiktok has some real problems with privacy, and censorship. Personally it's not for me, just to put a different opinion out there.
up to you...

This is a great thread idea. Thanks for starting it.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Digital scrapbooking is huge - there are millions of free resources online.
Making Memories has excellent software.

If you are a fan of fantasy similar to Game of Thrones and a reader, I suggest trying books from Brandon Sanderson- The Way of Kings and Mistorn series are must-reads, Ryan Anthony - Tower Lord. Awesome books that can be found free online.
Still here, in country...

Curiositystream has a discount on now "stayin40" comes to $12.99 for the year. If you are interested in science documentaries, I highly recommend it. They have other types as well, but I don't watch.
