I have time to sit down and actually game.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I hope you get lots of gaming in over the holidays!

It's the one week of the year where there are no commitments or responsibilities.

You can read/game/whatever to your hearts desire like you did as a child - completely unfettered and for the joy of it.

It's pure bliss :D

stevenbrezenoff.bsky.social•74 days ago

Absolutely. It's knowing all your responsibilities are on hold for a few days to a couple of weeks, so you can play with abandon and without guilt.

You can almost hear your parents fight in the room next to yours, amazing

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I grew up in a single parent household so I've never experienced the magic of a parents fighting on Christmas Day 😩

ivyinmyheart.bsky.social•74 days ago

The days between Christmas Eve and New Years truly are like the twilight zone, just a weird ethereal place where time doesn't exist and everyone's just vibrating on another frequency 😮‍💨

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I live for those exact days

deeghost217.bsky.social•74 days ago

Ty for all the Batman Arkham Origins love. I had to redownload it on steam. Ready to jump back in.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

YOOOO LETS GO

hope you enjoy it as much as I have been

Definitely partly nostalgia! Nothing felt better as a kid than booting up whatever game you were most excited for as a Christmas present after all the Christmas activities are over.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I always think back to the Christmas I got my PS2, I don't think I moved for the entire day 🤣

lanadelphox.bsky.social•74 days ago

Home consoles were a custody battle between me, my siblings, and my dad 😂

So the Christmas that I opened my own DS was really magical!

hugojstiglitz.bsky.social•74 days ago

For sure. Definitely nostalgia for me. Family being nearby. Everyone cheerful, not yelling at you to turn off the damn tv and do your homework. Binge on sweets and junk

thecraigescape.bsky.social•74 days ago

It’s all I want to do until the New Year but still have that overwhelming feeling of guilt and unproductiveness if I spend more than an hour gaming 😭

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

Just try to remind yourself that this is the time of year where you're literally encouraged to be lazy af

I challenge you to 4 hours of uninterrupted gaming during the holidays 😤

thecraigescape.bsky.social•74 days ago

Challenge accepted!

nizzleb.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yes! I just love the Christmas time. I wish it would snowing.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I would give anything just to experience a Christmas Day where it snows 😩

cynetrunner.bsky.social•74 days ago

The best feeling is playing a game when it rains outside. 🥰

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

Big fan of this one too, i have a big sliding door next to my set up that stays locked so it's just a massive wall window

The vibes when it rains are perfect

rebeccameadows.bsky.social•74 days ago

That first week of the Christmas holidays, when you have nothing else to do but play games as a kid.

Mine is Urban Assault mixed with After Eight mints.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

After Eights are such a great choice!

rumhamwitcher.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yes definitely. I always make sure I have a new game to play on Christmas day, wouldn't be the same otherwise

mightymog.bsky.social•72 days ago

I'm a HUGE fan of gaming over the holidays. Especially on Christmas Day. Makes me feel like a kid again🥰

anywherebuthome13.bsky.social•74 days ago

I always enjoyed getting games that came out in November, and then seeing the wave of new accounts on Christmas and days after. I kinda felt like a mentor helping out the new accounts on my team to level up with wins.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I truly miss getting games on Christmas, trying out all your new games on Christmas Day was peak

anywherebuthome13.bsky.social•72 days ago

Now, every game has a 100GB update on Christmas and/or is digital only. Takes away the fun of it. (The fun that was already stolen by them getting rid of inside game manuals)

herrrandom.bsky.social•74 days ago

I get that feeling too. I seem to play games for longer and just tune out the world and it's so... nice.

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

The week of Christmas feels like a proper break, nothing to worry about and just pure relaxation

herrrandom.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yeah. It's gonna be a well needed break. This year has been a tough one for us all.

1upvault.bsky.social•74 days ago

Especially gaming late into Christmas Eve

kerron.bsky.social•74 days ago

I love playing a party game with my wife on Christmas Eve with a few drinks

Immaculate vibes

totomatsu.bsky.social•74 days ago

As an adult, Christmas is a pain in the ass but playing video games during this time really brings me back to an era where I had no worries.
