Winter Break!!!

Winter break started a week ago and tbh Im still adjusting to the reality that I am on break. Like sometimes I wake up thinking that Im late to school only to remember that its December 27th!! It probably doesnt help that I live right next to the school whose bell system is still active even during breaks so that kinda ruins my mornings. Ive been able to start my hobbies again like reading, drawing, and playing video games but I've also been studying even during break so finals season in spring will be less stressful. After all, I doubt theres any downsides to studying too much!!

I've also been able to start completing the games in my very, very, VERY long backlog and its crazy how sometimes the games you pushed off the most happen to become your faves bc OMG I LOVED STANLEY PARABLE AND SUPERLIMINAL!!! I never knew there was just some games out there that had my style of humor but there they were hiding in my library!! The last time I had that much fun exploring every inch of a game was Disco Elysium so its a nice reminder that theres always something to look forward to when you leave your comfort zone. 

Additionally, I also completed Night In the Woods which I really enjoyed! I already beat the game when it originally came out but I was like 11 so the game didnt stick to me all that well. Nevertheless, I find the game to be really interesting in depicting small town shenanigans and traditions as having roots to capitalistic endeavors. Spoilers from here on out but the weird occult group pining for a return to tradition as well as maintaining said tradition to ensure the safety of the town feels very reflective of setting and its characters I only wish I had more knowledge in theory to actually delve deeper since thats only a shallow understanding of the games more leftist ideas but I guess thats why the games made to be replayable and why Das Kapital is free!!
