Why do I play all these games? Because it’s important that they’re played.

Because every game is a story, a world, a moment in time crafted by someone who cared enough to create it.

Because each one teaches me something new—about design, about culture, about myself.

Because in a sea of pixels, there’s magic waiting to be found.

And because, honestly? Sometimes I just want to escape, explore, and lose myself in different worlds.

So yeah. I own thousands of games, and I’ll keep playing them.

        My completion rate is obviously much lower, but I’ve played at least two hours of 628/788 games in my 19 year old Steam account. I guess I’m a bit pickier with accepting freebies or buying on sales.

        That is the result of a deliberate effort. Two year long project to play at least 2 hours of every game in my backlog minimum before I can uninstall it. Until there’s nothing let but the dregs. A YouTuber inspired me, except he had a time limit deadline for the video.

        Backlog was 258 games, now 160. Really there’s about 30 left worth at least looking at. A lot of old crap from the very first Steam sale in there.

        Most recent from the backlog was Alpha Protocol with some pcgamingwiki fixes. Yep that’s been sitting in there a long long time. Loved it so much I finished it!
