so much to organize, damn you humble bundle
You must log in or register to comment.
Well my list is this:
- installed shit
- all
Smart move, you’re playing Game Categorization, the Game for free on Steam’s dime.
One of my favorites, I can’t wait for the sequel
It’s not free, though. All the items in the list are paid DLC…
We’re not buying games, we’re categorizing games. Again, the game we’re playing is called “Game Categorization, the Game,” and it costs nothing to play it.
TIL there are Steam categories
I have over 300 games in 2 categories:
- Favourites
- Uncategorized
My list is just my entire list, sorted by installed and recent. No folders, no organisation, just a very long list
sorted by
no organisation
Objection!
Ok, fair but it’s definitely not folders and shit haha
I don’t use them
I didn’t know they existed, haha.
Same I learned something
Man, calling them “backlogs” seems like a very unhealthy way of thinking about it. They’re games you play for fun and enjoyment, not work you’re behind on.
My categories are: Games I shall play one day: just all the games I haven’t given a fair shake yet and would like to get around to at some point.
Games I am playing: games that I am actively playing, usually with some activity within the last month
Games I am done with: games I no longer want to play for whatever reason. Used to be “Games I have completed” but that didn’t make much sense with multiplayer games or roguelikes, and it worked better for games I hadn’t completed and just could not be arsed to complete.
Free games: games I have gotten for free and so have no plans to play.
Also have one for online multiplayer games and one for local multiplayer for when friends want to play something
Most of the time tho I just use the sort by recent and only installed bittons since those are the games I want to see anyway
There are categories? My 446 entries are just kind of there, alphabetically.
Steam user since the early days, and no categories here. Why bother. Thousands of games, too much work.
Same thing with profiles, like what do I need that shit for?
Edit: I do want to say, I admire your organization.
… New Years resolution to say something nice a lot more often, we call could use it …
Steam has the ability to create dynamic collections which is great for larger libraries
Oh I know they exist… I have thousands of games. Category: games.
Same here. I do use 2 dynamic collections: Installed Locally and Full Controller Support. That’s basically just to make it easier to pick stuff to play from the couch.
Otherwise it’s all in one big bucket, but it’s a searchable bucket, so that’s fine.
I would do this.
And then only play Rocket League.
- Installed
- Finished
- VR
- Borked Anti-cheat
- Everything else
Borked for Linux, or just broken in general?
Borked for Linux
This is the most logical

Dishonored 3? Where did you find that one already?

I’m migrating away from steam and starting my library over.(Moving away from accounts and drm) So in the future my library will only have games that I have actually played and will play.
Yeah I’m buying games twice but no one likes captain hindsight.
I mean, if you’ve already paid for the games in the past, and you’re going totally DRM free anyway… I feel like you’re morally all good to go sailing.
Modern games are a pain in the ass and the download speeds are horrible. I’d rather just buy them and download the game in 2 hours.
I don’t mind supporting the devs I like, anyways.
Good for you. That’s the way. I’ve only ever bought one game from steam and it cost me $0.99. Most of my games are from GOG where I can actually download the .exe file because I should be able to, because I own the fucking game. I know there are drm free games on steam, but I’ve always liked GOG. I have a bunch of games .exe files backed up in several places. I also have a bunch of PS4/PS3/PS2 games, physical copies.
Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn’t want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.
I like GOG but they can’t be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.
And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.
That’s pretty cool! If you don’t mind me asking, how are you doing the migration? Last I’ve checked, most games on steam are sold on there & perhaps other consoles & platforms, but rarely as a direct download from the publisher/dev. The only ones that come to mind are Factorio & Starsecter. So how are you building that library?
Unless your using GoG, itch (which would be limiting I’d think), or piracy (which from another comment you implied you weren’t doing?), I don’t see how this would be practical.
Not trying to throw shade, just really curious.
Pretty much just GoG. Most of the games I want to continue playing are on there.
If not that, then looking for FOSS alternatives(Like instead of minecraft I have VoxeLibre)
Makes sense, very cool
my dad’s garage is like this
A lot of backlog eh
I’m onto his antics… it’s a mix of strategic time waste projects, shit being worked on that continually needs more, and the far off dreams of a man with more free time
I think this describes all garages
😢
I am in awe of your organization.
