so much to organize, damn you humble bundle
I tried, but dynamic filters were not good enough, so i gave up.
Only have “Ready To Play”, “All Played” and “Uncategorized” now.
No I already have a full time job.
I just have a finished one where I move them after I finish the story or I’m done with a game.
I would do this.
And then only play Rocket League.
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.
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.
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.
I think that’s part of why you have a backlog.
In all seriousness though, I have a couple lists for like “Workshop” and “Souls like,” otherwise it’s just sorted by what’s installed and most recent.
I do have a favorites list though.
I just have unplayed, installed locally, and good games.
I often forget to update the good games folder so it’s iffy as to whether or not all of my good games are in there yet at any given time.
I dont have this many lists. I keep mine as finished, currently playing, broken and then some dynamic lists based on category such as rougelike, horror etc
I think I must use them wrong.
My categories are mostly used to organise by where they’re installed - so Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck Internal, Steam Deck SD Card 1, SD Card 2 etc. If I want to play that game, where’s it already installed?
The only category that relates to the games content is “wheel games” which is driving games that work well with wheel/pedals/gearstick.
My list is just my entire list, sorted by installed and recent. No folders, no organisation, just a very long list
TIL there are Steam categories
Well my list is this:
- installed shit
- all
Ooh, emojis? The possibilities!
Not Steam emoticons though, unfortunately.
What a miss by steam! I might finally have something to use them for
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
I have over 300 games in 2 categories:
- Favourites
- Uncategorized
I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don’t fall into same trap =)
Now I have only 4:
- WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
- VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
- Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
- Done-done - for games which I’m not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.
I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It’s more like recommendation
I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I’m free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.
It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.
