When you add a game to your backlog…
🎮 Do you test it first to see if it jumps to the front?
📚 Or do you toss it in and keep playing your current game?

(Give me your answers for each bullet point.)
Now your backlog has:
• A game you bought 5 years ago and never even played
• That 60+ hour game you swore you’d start last summer
• A game you loved but stopped playing for no reason at all

Worst part?
The backlog guilt hits harder than a Dark Souls boss fight.
Every time I start a new game, I hear the ghosts of unfinished games whispering to me.

My video game backlog is starting to feel less like a “to-play” list… and more like a graveyard where good games go to die.

That feeling of wanting to buy the new game but you are already 5-10 hours into the dozen other games you recently bought.

Had to get my first video made to get the cringe and self judgement out of the way. Feel much better now.

Forza Horizon 5 is the ultimate check off list type of game.
Turn up the music, zone out, and drive.
I’m currently going around and trying to unlock all the roads driven in the game and the XP Boards.

It’s the details like this in Star Wars Outlaws that make the game great! A good, fun game.

One of those nights where I can’t decide what game to play and I end up wasting time switching back and forth between games and don’t make any progress in anything. 😵💫

Rolled credits on Star Wars Outlaws this morning!
I heard it wasn’t received well at launch but after updates to the game, I thought it was a really fun time!

FOMO in video games gets out of hand for me.
I want to play so much but then I don’t end up enjoying many of the games on my backlog list!
I see them as tasks to be checked off and not fun play sessions to enjoy.
What do you think of backlogs?

Alright, I caved. I like PoE2 so much I went back and tried Diablo 4 again and I’m hooked. Can’t get enough of ARPG’s at the moment.
Path of Exile 2 is the first ARPG that I really like. I don’t know why but D4 never got its hooks in me.
Now to obsess over the game and content for the game for the foreseeable future.
