Need free/dirt cheap entertainment ideas.

I’ve realized I’m somebody who needs to have something fun to look forward to each night. When I used to live in a bigger city me and my friends would hit up a ton of cheap spots after work, cafes/bars/libraries or bookstores/arcades, you name it. Now I’m in a small town and it’s just me and my roommate, I still do virtual game nights with my friends but that’s only one night per week or less.

I need more ideas on things I can do for fun. I love exploring and finding new things, big fan of hiking, traveling and playing open world games. Things I already do: walk around my neighborhood (there’s only so many places you can go), try new recipes, play the sims, write and code (I make indie games for fun), watch sitcom/improv.
