Most people have favorites like Skyrim or snow levels in games like Super Mario 64. Well since I'm weird af mine is Half-Life (1) on the ps2. I first played it around Christmas in the 2000's, the exact date I rented it escapes me. So this year I'm feeling nostalgic again and fired it up in PCSX2 with native mouse and keyboard support.

It's a pretty good port all things considered, if you don't want to pay Valve money or pirate a copy from somewhere. Vimm's has it in their catalogue of games.

They're waiting for you Gordon, in the test. chamber.

Stardew Valley is my obvious go-to, get cooped up and cozy and wistful. But for real deep winter, I'll even sometimes want a more original Harvest Moon, the NES/GBA versions were janky, but I just remember them getting the Winter vibe so on-point, and played them so much while covered in blankets.

The perfect vibes of cold and still and calm and a little magical.
