Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.
As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.
I keep track of the games I own on Backloggery.
I know others are saying that having a backlog means treating gaming like a job you need to do.
But for me, it’s about reminding myself that I don’t always need to buy interesting games just because they are on sale or because I think I want to play them in the future.
There was period of time years back when I was buying dozens of games each year and not even playing half of them. Even if I’m buying games on sale that was hundreds of dollars a year I was spending on stuff I wasn’t using.
I only have a limited time these days to play games, so I have even more of a reason to check my purchases. And sometimes I’ll check my backlog and notice a game that I actually do want to play (or even play again).
