so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

Thats a lot of categories. I’ve got “current”, “Done with”, “never again” and the uncategorized, since functionally that is my backlog.
VR and non-VR for me.
Man, calling them “backlogs” seems like a very unhealthy way of thinking about it. They’re games you play for fun and enjoyment, not work you’re behind on.
My categories are: Games I shall play one day: just all the games I haven’t given a fair shake yet and would like to get around to at some point.
Games I am playing: games that I am actively playing, usually with some activity within the last month
Games I am done with: games I no longer want to play for whatever reason. Used to be “Games I have completed” but that didn’t make much sense with multiplayer games or roguelikes, and it worked better for games I hadn’t completed and just could not be arsed to complete.
Free games: games I have gotten for free and so have no plans to play.
Also have one for online multiplayer games and one for local multiplayer for when friends want to play something
Most of the time tho I just use the sort by recent and only installed bittons since those are the games I want to see anyway
Only one custom category for the best indie games.
But I dont really need it since I uninstall games I dont play and my library view is filtered to installed only:
Guess I’m kinda normal. I just install what I wanna play, filter by playable and store by last played.
Steam user since the early days, and no categories here. Why bother. Thousands of games, too much work.
Same thing with profiles, like what do I need that shit for?
Edit: I do want to say, I admire your organization.
… New Years resolution to say something nice a lot more often, we call could use it …
Goals. Holy, I know what I’m doing tomorrow instead of gaming.
I have an _installed, a backlog in general, genre based dynamic categories, and a few special categories such as “bad games that should feel bad”, “broke shit check for patch later” “GFWL Broken” and “games of lost interest”
No man sky was one of those broken games. Now I’m 65 hours into it.
It is always nice when a game can turn itself around
- To Play
- Finished
- Unfinished (games I gave up on)
- Time Sink (unending games, roguelikes, etc)
- Multiplayer
- Multiplayer (5+)
- Local Multiplayer
Categories? I don’t use categories. Just a single giant list! Also, I never clear out my email inbox and let it pile up into the thousands! And no one can stop me. MWHAHAHAA!
Do you have some time to hear about our lord and savior the ‘sudo Recycle AI’
I categorize them based on their franchise. But if they’re not part of any franchise or they’re the only game I have they’d just be uncategorized.
I tried, but dynamic filters were not good enough, so i gave up.
Only have “Ready To Play”, “All Played” and “Uncategorized” now.
I would do this.
And then only play Rocket League.
No I already have a full time job.
I just have a finished one where I move them after I finish the story or I’m done with a game.
I’m migrating away from steam and starting my library over.(Moving away from accounts and drm) So in the future my library will only have games that I have actually played and will play.
Yeah I’m buying games twice but no one likes captain hindsight.
Good for you. That’s the way. I’ve only ever bought one game from steam and it cost me $0.99. Most of my games are from GOG where I can actually download the .exe file because I should be able to, because I own the fucking game. I know there are drm free games on steam, but I’ve always liked GOG. I have a bunch of games .exe files backed up in several places. I also have a bunch of PS4/PS3/PS2 games, physical copies.
Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn’t want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.
I like GOG but they can’t be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.
And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.
I mean, if you’ve already paid for the games in the past, and you’re going totally DRM free anyway… I feel like you’re morally all good to go sailing.
Modern games are a pain in the ass and the download speeds are horrible. I’d rather just buy them and download the game in 2 hours.
I don’t mind supporting the devs I like, anyways.
That’s pretty cool! If you don’t mind me asking, how are you doing the migration? Last I’ve checked, most games on steam are sold on there & perhaps other consoles & platforms, but rarely as a direct download from the publisher/dev. The only ones that come to mind are Factorio & Starsecter. So how are you building that library?
Unless your using GoG, itch (which would be limiting I’d think), or piracy (which from another comment you implied you weren’t doing?), I don’t see how this would be practical.
Not trying to throw shade, just really curious.
Pretty much just GoG. Most of the games I want to continue playing are on there.
If not that, then looking for FOSS alternatives(Like instead of minecraft I have VoxeLibre)
Makes sense, very cool
I think that’s part of why you have a backlog.
In all seriousness though, I have a couple lists for like “Workshop” and “Souls like,” otherwise it’s just sorted by what’s installed and most recent.
I do have a favorites list though.
