“i’m done” just means that i really cannot play the game anymore to the point where i’d actually go insane if i continue.

      THAT’s a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.

        everyone’s circumstances are different. to them it might be a long list but to you it might be short. one thing is for certain tho is they take a lot of hours to complete. anyway if you want help starting i’d suggest picking a handful of games from your library like between 5 to 10 and just play through them one by one. putting my phone on the other side of the room helped since sometimes i would just pick it up and do nothing of any value on it. also having some self dicipline and not opening your browser helps as well. at the end of the day it’s up to you how you want to tackle it (if you even want to tackle it at all) it’s not even really a big problem to have.

          Wow. The putting the phone far away spoke to me.

          Between work stress and family, sometimes it feels much easier to just pick up the phone and start browsing Lemmy (or LinkedIn lol)

          I’ll have to try putting the phone away more deliberately.

          Happy gaming!

        Same, it’s not my fault Steam sales make me feel like I’d be losing money if I didn’t buy this game right now.

      Between epics free games and the games you get from ps/xbox for being subscribers its really not that large of a list.

      Just between those 3 you would have a library of about 120 games. 1-2 a week for epic and 3 a month for each ps and Xbox.
