Immune systems rarely need a boost, they just need the tools to function a peak performance. The number one way to kneecap your immune system is to not get sufficient sleep. Flu vaccines have been shown to be dramatically less effective when sleep deprived individuals took them. Your body needs 7-8 hours, full stop.
Supplements are a racket. Most are concentrated doses of micro-nutrients that your system immediately flushes because they're not in a form your body can absorb effectively. You get these nutrients best through whole foods. Want vitamin c? Eat an orange. Increase the amount and variety of fruits and veggies in your diet.
Two side comments: Rain/getting wet does not cause colds. Neither does eating/drinking cold foods, another misconception I have heard. However, cold, dry air (like from an AC) does dry out our sinuses which makes us more vulnerable to cold viruses. Getting outside and drinking warm drinks (like the teas deardoveswings suggests with helpful herbs) will keep our mucus membranes hydrated and effective barriers against contagions.
Finally, COVID is still around and we are in the latest wave. Avoid crowed indoor venues when you can. Wear a mask when you can't. Especially if traveling on planes.

Don't wet your hair or if you have to wash it, dry it immediately after shower, don't let it air dry or sleep with wet hair.
Wear socks ALL DAY EVERY DAY until you feel you're out of danger.
Drink ginger, honey and lemon tea waking up and before going to bed
Eat all your day's meals on time.
Cover yourself to go out (wear a jacket of sweater, unless it's summer. If it's summer hot where you are: try not sweating and then going straight inside spaces with a/c)
Don't put a fan directly in front of you (it will make it much much worse)
Shower early or mid-day. Avoid night showers or windy weather (even if covered).
Try doing all of these until you feel you're stronger or sure you'll not get the cold/flu.

You could draw, print, etc. on them and then cut out your creation. For free. No credit card or anything. 750 shipping labels shipped to you for nothing at all. Click the link and have fun.

First of all, this will mostly only work for offline games. Second of all, if you try to find online versions of this, you will most likely be downloading a virus. Do not download from online-fix, it's a virus.
Also if you can afford to, just buy the game. Obviously. But capitalism sucks and many can't afford commodities in addition to their living expenses. For those people, you shouldn't be deprived of an infinite wealth of fun, so here you go:
Go to the website linked in my post. This place is lit. Find the game you want to download and then proceed with the instructions:
TORRENT ROUTE (VPN STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
Now if you have terrible internet, torrenting may be your best option because it downloads from multiple places at once. Beware that your Internet can see if you torrent, and as such, you should use a VPN if you go this route to avoid fines or ISP shutoffs. If you want to torrent, download QBitTorrent here: https://www.qbittorrent.org/download. I recommend qbit because it's free, open source, and hasn't done me wrong so far. Now on fitgirl, find where it says "Download mirrors (torrent)" and then "1337x". Beside this there will be a button that reads "magnet" press it and it will automatically redirect to your torrenting app. Once it loads the metadata, you can select which files you want to download and then begin. Once downloaded, read torrenting info below, and then proceed to the installation step in this guide.
Torrenting info:
When torrenting, you're either downloading from the source, or, after it's finished, seeding the file you already downloaded so other people can use you as you did them. If you have upload bandwidth to spare, this is a nice thing to do, otherwise, right click the file in queue and press stop to end seeding.
NORMAL DOWNLOAD ROUTE (VPN LESS NECESSARY)
This method is less involved, but oftentimes slower than torrenting, depending on the download provider. The upside, is that your ISP can't see what you're doing as much, in which case you don't really need a VPN, though I'd of course still recommend it if you have it, just to be safe. Find where it says "Download Mirrors (Direct Links)" and then use your own judgement to pick a link. The ones toward the top are usually better.
Sometimes games will be so big they're split into multiple parts. In this case, you need to download all parts, and follow the instructions on fitgirl. This will typically be to download WinRAR and extract all the files at once.
Once downloaded, proceed to the installation step below.
INSTALLATION
Every game is a little different, but typically the fitgirl site has instructions on how to install what you just downloaded. The universal rundown though, is to download the DirectX version provided in the folders, along with any other drivers provided, and then execute the installation file. Once this installation completes, you should have the game and be able to play it 'til your heart's content.
If you have any problems, comment and lmk, I'll try to get to them asap :)
Hopefully this helps.
