I just bought a car, so I'm out. Good thing I have backlog of like hundred games waiting.

Being without a job same unless there's something super cheap on my wishlist I really gotta have....I can't even make a decision of what to play out of my library half the time lmao

I was able to pick up Street Fighter and Baldur's Gate before I left my job. They'be been holding me for months now. Two of the best games to come out this year are real life savers when I'm stressed the fuck out.

Somewhere around 150 myself but once I get all the achievements on my current one (Its part of a set I've done so on.) I should be able to go through more at a good keel.

Everyone always talks about Backlogs. Do y'all really have such a big list of games that you bought, and still want to play?

Like sure I got a couple Humble Bundle games that came for free. But full disclosure - I never would've bought them on my own, and I'm not all that interested in playing them. I would only be deluding myself by saying "Yeah I'll get to them".

I am a bit of a hoarder, so yeah, I have quite a lot of games I would like to play and haven't had time (family, work, other hobbies). Some of those are definitely worth the time so I'm positive about finishing them once the time's right (Disco Elysium, Dishonored series, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: OS, Deus Ex series, etc.).

I often bought bundles (humble, fanatical, indiegala, ...) for one game I was interested in and I'm also claiming most freebies (just to let Epic know I'm here only to get them free ones and never intended to buy anything from this company). So apart from those I do want to play I have hundreds I am sure I will never touch.
