[[Games]] [[2025 Game Backlog]] [[2026 Game Backlog]] I have mixed feelings about backlogs. I don't think it's helpful or healthy to keep track of every game you want to play in your entire life. BUT, as you may know, [[Mint|your boy]] has ADHD, and sometimes [[Game Backlog Project-1743262336740.jpg|a bunch of amazing games]] come out at once, AND you have access to every retro game ever made, AND romhacks of those retro games, and you just want a short term list of things you want to play in some sort of order. I was pretty good about focusing on and beating one game at a time in 2024 and I don't want to drop the ball on that this year. Choice paralysis makes steam come out of my ears. Thus the **Game Backlog Project**. I am trying to adhere to the following: # Rules 1. One game I paid for and one retro game. 2. Shorter games first 3. Games I've played before in the back ## Categories - **Playing** - Self-explanatory - **Up Next** - On the short-list after the current stuff - **Finished** - Self-explanatory > [!info] There is no **Backlog** category > This is to free myself of that burden. I don't want games to feel like work. So only stuff that's on my mind will ever be in this backlog. A backlog doesn't necessarily mean I'll *finish* all of these games. Just that I am planning to play them. If I don't finish a game or quit it, I still will label it as "Finished," because that's what's best for my broken brain. I plan to update it like...once a week? And will be completely refreshed for the next year. That's all!
