Today's Packt free book is Blender 3D Incredible Machines. It's a 2016 book, so will have an older Blender interface, and it's not meant directly for games, it seems like a decent way to dive into Blender and even talks about a low poly model.

Free sound pack at https://www.asoundeffect.com/free/

We’re absolutely horrified and saddened by what’s happening in Ukraine, and we’re now launching this initiative in support of the Ukrainian people: Thanks to the generosity of SmartSoundFX, we are able to give you their Starter Pack – featuring 1000 premium sound effects – for free with attribution. You can also buy it at 90% off without any attribution requirements (all proceeds go to the Red Cross in support of Ukraine).

Option A: Instantly download the 1000 sound effects for free with attribution
Please note: The 1000 sounds can be used for both free and commercial projects, but attribution/credit is required – so if you use the sounds, please include a link back to www.asoundeffect.com in your project.

Option B: Buy the full (non-attribution) pack at 90% off, with all profits given to the Red Cross
For those of you who want the sounds without the attribution requirement, you can get the heavily-discounted full pack here. All proceeds go to the Red Cross’ Ukraine support campaign.
2317 sounds included
