The USPS store allows you to purchase shipping labels for free. 750 per order in fact. They're pretty big, have plenty of empty space and stick to things. 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.

Only ships within the US of A. Seems logical, but I just thought I would let you all know.

Pen pal letters...post it note doodles...mini folded zines...tiny abstract paintings...fun stickers...etc.! I've even printed out silly internet memes and made paper collages with them. Postal correspondence is a great way to brighten someone's day...and opening your mailbox to find an envelope hand-addressed to you with Good Stuff inside from someone you care about? It sure beats just getting bills and junk mail!

Simple way to show you're thinking of your people. Sure, challenges include sourcing peoples' addresses and then finding a place that sells stamps. But surprising your friends and fam with a postcard in the mail is worth the extra hassle.

The United States Postal Service is, second to the Department of Motor Vehicles, my favorite American institution. I'm a hoarder, I order a lot of things off eBay, so I'm always looking out for the mailman. Rain or shine! And I have so much reverence for those who work in the actual post office behind the counter. I'm always impressed by the intense emotions they can inspire in customers standing in line--panic, fatigue, stress, fury, ego-mania, depression, denial...I also really loved Post Office by Charles Bukowski when I read it in 2013. I wonder if it holds up.

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.
