Closed the store tonight and came home to 47 games on my Steam wishlist and a backlog that hasn't moved in two months.

Picked up Palworld back when it blew up and barely touched it. Derek keeps saying I should just delete the games I haven't started but that feels wrong. Anyone else just accept at some point that the backlog is more of a collection than a to-do list?
 
Bought Skyrim again on sale last month. Already own it on two other platforms. Not sure what I was thinking but here we are.
 
Frankly I've given up trying to clear mine. I've had Divinity: Original Sin 2 sitting untouched since 2019. At this point I think I'm keeping it as a monument to optimism. I will play it eventually. Possibly when Ellie goes to university.
 
My backlog is completely unsalvageable. Still have Cyberpunk sitting untouched, Jedi: Survivor, a couple others I picked up on sale and never opened. Elden Ring keeps pulling me back every time I think I'm done with it. Jordan's in the same situation so we just don't talk about it.

Maybe it is the right time to say that enough is enough and get going with the game. It is not going to be easy, but you've got to create time if you want to build a memory playing Skyrim.
 
Mine is structured, at least. I keep a spreadsheet. Whether that makes it better or worse is debatable. RimWorld alone has consumed time that should have gone to at least six other games on the list.
 
Depends entirely on the game, honestly. There are titles I'd argue are worth your time regardless of how they present themselves on the surface, and there are technically competent releases that simply have nothing to say. The market's not great at sorting those two categories reliably.
