The best part of video games back in the day was making memories with your friends, now it all feels like structured fun. “This is how you play the game and this is when you are supposed to have fun” Idk if that makes sense.

    Expand your horizons and play games in genres you don’t normally play. There’s more to video games than just the shitty uninspiring AAA corporate cashgrabs.

    I have 1400 games on Steam and 1500 on my wishlist. There’s always new games coming out and literally thousands of games to explore and find gems in

      I’m at like 600 some odd games on Steam and under 100 on my wishlist, and the latter is only there because I started trimming fat. Backlog was getting far too unwieldy (I blame Humble Bundle’s from back in the day and a few too many Steam sales.) for me to keep looking at buying new stuff.

      Thankfully the backlog (On Steam anyhow) is down to 165… too bad my tastes lean towards the kind of RPG’s that take 40+ hours to beat hahaha

        I try not to see it as a list clearing situation. For me that just stresses me out with unnecesary “I’ll never be able to play everything” FOMO. I see my library and wishlist as more a hat with a bunch of scraps of paper with game names. And I’ll just start something up randomly and just see where it takes me.

        It sounds cringy lmao, but I’ve found some genuinely amazing games and genres I never initially thought I’d be into
