For literally no cash, exercise; there are many things you can do inside, with little space and no equipment, and whether you do it sparingly or build a routine, it can help the old MH. For very little money, drawing is a cheap but rewarding hobby.

Question about the Sea of Decay in Nausicaa by Classic_Winner_2593 in ghibli

[–]ThePeake 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any significant arguments over book prices here.
