Halo really does have a lot of beaches don’t it
Sonic Adventure set my expectations for easily accessible bustling beachfront metropolises way too high

I’m playing Natsumon to escape the cold. Kaz Ayabe games are honesty better during winter while remembering summer. Summer is for actually doing those things.

I did this during the GameCube era: SSX Tricky to chill down in summer and Waverace to warm up in the cold

I’m a certified winter freak. I live in Central New York now & I literally just walked a mile home in slush but I hate summer & I know the second it gets hot, I’ll find myself wishing for the cold & dreamy street lit snowy nights.
JRPGs are usually a great bet for that & I feel like there’s often a meditative plot point that takes place in those winter cities, often very comforting and/or dramatic like a good christmas movie. Off the top of my head: there’s Eternia in the Bravely Default games & Flanoir in the Tales of Symphonia games. I think Chained Echoes does an interesting thing where the more urban landscapes are wintery & the natural landscapes are summery.
I’m also thinking of I am Setsuna — where the whole game is snowy & dramatic as heck with like zero breaks. Though that’s less pulpy Christmas classic & more…dark holiday Lifetime TV movie.

was this like ~2008? I was living with a bunch of people who all went home to their parents and I was alone in a house with Persona 4 and like three Papa Murphy’s pizzas for a week.

me and Tactics Ogre on PSP. Whenever I have way too much going on now and people wanting things from me in a million directions I’m like “man remember having no job and no money and waking up to play this game for 18 hours before going to bed every day”
“those games” could be a whole thread but maybe not what the world needs right now
I go the other way and like to put on a sweater, start a fire and play a game that is snowy in a wintery kind of way. I would like to do this tonight but I’ve been extra productive today and I don’t wanna stop for too long and it wears off.
I’m looking forward to the remake version of this song in the next game.
