I recently heard somebody say "There is already enough content made in the world for you to watch and enjoy for the rest of your life without watching the agenda films and tv shows that are being pushed today. Just get all of those on physical media".
He wasn't wrong. If you can't live without movies and TV shows, you could spend all the free time in your life watching everything ever made up until 2010 and probably not finish it before you died.
Indie is hot right now. Particularly in the Video Game and Comic Book space.
Dave Cullen had a really great short video on this topic just the other day...

To add to the above post...
Tools like the Unity engine have made making video games easier than ever before, and if you look on Steam there are a LOT of great indie games for under $20.
Here are a few I've played this year that were particularly good.
Death Must Die is still currently in Beta, but it's very playable.
The Last Faith is one of the best games I've played in years.
Lunacid is a great throwback to From Software's early King's Field titles from the PS1/PS2 era, way before the Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring titles. Despite the fact the single guy programming it turned out to be a raging leftist and needlessly added Pronouns to the character creation screen after the whole Starfield thing a few months back just to piss people off (they have no effect at all on gameplay and aren't ever mentioned at all in the game), I have nothing else bad to say about the game. It's a great play for anybody who loved King's Field back in the day.
It's a shame he did that to himself. He's had to run quite a few sales because it pretty much tanked his title. I know he spent a LOT of time making that game on his own and because he wanted to make a political statement he lost a lot of money.
One thing I'd like to point out specifically that I think is extremely impressive with all of these titles is their fantastic soundtracks. Every song in the trailers above are in the games and that only scratches the surface on most of them. Lunacid and The Last Faith in particular have a very deep catalog of songs played throughout.
