How do you go about clearing your backlog? (lemmy.world)

Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

I clear my mind of the concept of a backlog, and embrace the idea that games are for my entertainment - thus if I am not currently feeling entertained, I can put the game down and not play it without guilt.

TL:DR; There is no backlog.

I install all the games I have purchased but did not play. If I run out of storage, that absolutely means I shouldn't purchase new games.

Luckily that hasn't been the issue. Ever since doing this I've gone through my backlog and played a lot of games I had, and I'm close to being done. This summer sale will be my first time in a while to purchase a lot of games.
