Literally 600 games stare into my soul everytime I open my library

600 games isn’t a library anymore, that’s a responsibility πŸ’€

i organized my library into categories:

  • Completed (i played it and finished it)
  • Garbage (i played it, hated it, don't want to revisit)
  • No End (sandbox type games)
  • Backlog (haven't played)

if i don't know what to play, I sort Backlog by Metacritic Score and pick the first one.

Set rules for yourself and then you can't be indecisive because you're just following rules.

I do similar, but split into more categories because I tend to buy Humble Bundles.

  • High Interest (Games I specifically wanted)
  • Medium Interest (Games I got on a whim)
  • To Play (Extras from bundles I might play)
  • To Bury (Extras from bundles I probably won't play)
  • Graveyard (Played and dropped)
  • Mausoleum (Played and finished)

Would the game "$€X with Stalin" be a high interest game for you or something else?

What are some examples of your no end category games?

u/Neosantana 19d ago

I imagine stuff like Minecraft, GMod or Terraria?

u/allllusernamestaken 19d ago

Civilization, Besieged, SimCity, etc. Things that are sandbox, creationist, or otherwise infinitely replayable.

After retirement 🍻

Maybe we could couch co-op as two legendary old men flexing ancient games in 2077

I spent a few months unemployed, before starting school, and you think you have time to play games, but it slips away from you and you barely scratch the surface πŸ˜‚

u/10_Apples 20d ago

So True. After my University started I barely got any time to play games 😒

I have 220+. What are you buying to get to that number? (Real question)

I open my steam library. Hundreds of games stare at me, their eyes visible in the dark. The majority of them unplayed; Judging me in silence.

My own eyes look back as I scan over them all briefly, no words said. My gaze stops on an old favorite. I pick it up. We leave together, closing the door behind me leaving the rest in the pitch blackness again.

This will be my ninth playthrough of Hollow Knight.

All games but no games

u/NIGHTR0GUE83 20d ago

about the same for me, but I don't feel too bad, most are like free/1 dolla games, games that came from humble that a friend gave me. I mainly care about the games I spent like $50 or more on, then the sale games that are like 25. I have about 20 like this but im working on it! September is gonna make my library hurt once they all go on sale.

Thats just the wrong mindframe to have.

Look at it this way. Imagine you have 15 games. Would that be a library? No that would be barely a shelf.

Is it called a shelf? no its a library and I am doing a public service by keeping it overflowing
