Cool as Dragon

Can you believe it's snowing in Sweden? Well aparently, Sweden doesn't. This whole week has been filled with gorgeous snowy weather, but today it snowed Just A Little Bit Too Much so public transit fully stopped for a bit and I assume the car traffic did not fare much better. Me though? I was working from home and took a 25 minute long walk to the gym. I'm fully aware that it was the equivalent poverty tourism for snowy climate, but it is a bit odd how Sweden (or at least the south of it) seems to be so ill-prepared for heavy-ish snow. But hey, good opportunity for photos!

It also seems like tomorrow is not going to look any better weather-wise, so it will be a nice and chill restday tomorrow (which means: gaming). Actually, speaking of games, I've been craving some Riichi Mahjong lately. I wish I could say it was due to Yakuza: Like A Dragon since I'm playing it, but I haven't touched the Mahjong minigame at all. Instead it's due to passively watching some NorthernLion VODs and I felt the urge slowly growing on me. It's a similar feeling when I watch someone play World of Warcraft even though I've sworn off that game about the 5 times by now. But with Mahjong it wasn't so much "swearing off" as other things took interest. Doesn't help that learning the conditions you need to have a winning hand is a pain. I found out the city's Mahjong club is pretty close to where I live and it's been active for quite a few years. But I figure that I should prioritize getting my Croatian to be decent before I even consider getting another hobby. I have plenty of them as is. I do hope to finish Like A Dragon soon, but I do know from spoiling myself that I'm heading towards a massive difficulty spike in form of an Important Boss Fight, and there still are 3 or so chapters left, so it's going to take a while, but I have done what I think was sensible amount of grinding, so tomorrow I'll see how that paid off.
