Anecdote I know it's a little corny but my first Computer Gaming Experience outside of racing and sports games I was allowed to play when I was little was my friend telling me to try Minecraft my first year of college (2011)... My first world's spawn point was in a taiga (the old version which was just a snowy forest) and I built a treehouse there...
So when I see pixel-y soft gentle snow falling it feels nostalgic...?
