Do you have any games you set aside for certain seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring)? (hexbear.net)

Weirdly enough I always end up playing Resident Evil in the summer, probably why I'm posting about it. Been a thing since I first played it back in the day, it was summertime in I think 1996 and I remember having a wicked headache on the day I rented Resident Evil 1, oddly enough.

And it's kind of funny because I think the events of 1,2,3 take place in and around summer into fall.

So any game you set aside for a special season? Like Christmas Nights is the perfect winter game.

Metroid Prime in winter. When it came out I had a crappy job that was a 90 minute bus ride from my home (an unfinished basement with a TV, couch, and mattress on the floor), and it was a night shift, so the 2 hour return bus only got me a 30 minute walk away from home. Needless to say, it was unpleasant when temps got below -25°F.

There was a 7-Eleven two thirds of the way home to warm up in, and I bought a tray of nachos and

(CW: FOOD)cheese sauce
every night. It was halfway frozen when I got home, but I heated it up in the microwave, chowed down, and played Metroid Prime until I passed out.
