I have a little "tradition" of doing a playthrough of very hardware-demanding stuff in winter. Tarkov is one of my favs for this since it's unoptimized as hell and the post soviet aesthetics really fit the season

I may get flack for this but mine was the Cinematic Mod version of HL2.

Not because I wanted ... the terrible 'cinematic' music, or ludicrous XXX character model 'upgrades'... I genuienly liked the revamped maps, greater texture detail.

I waited until winter to rip my DVD collection because it meant hours of high throttle on the PC.
