2023 update - Somehow even lazier than usual edition

I failed even the easy target of 2 updates per year but hey, at least 1 is better than none (?)

• Current status

My goal of limiting the amount of games I add to try and get wins over the backlog is going well, as I again end the year on a positive score (66 beaten, 55 added) and a ratio of 1.2, roughly in line with the 1.1875 of last year and infinitely better than the years prior.

Some help came from the 20/23 Challenge that I took last year, beating 22 of my 23 picks and pushing me to experience what have been some of my favourite gaming experiences this year (special mentions to Hollow Knight, Monster Sanctuary, and OMORI)

• Future plans: moving forward with the backlog assassination! (hopefully)

The goal for next year will be more of the same: trying to only add things that I want to play rather than get overexcited by cheap deals - thing that I’ve definitely still done in 2023 - and playing all of the good stuff that’s still in my backlog.
On that note I think I’ll make a list of backlog games that I really, really want to play, with the plan of doing a “backlog freeze” (no games added whatsoever) until I do.
This isn’t a formal challenge - after all I haven’t even made a list yet - but it’s more of a general goal moving forward, we’ll see how things go.

Have fun in 2024! Even this message is recycled smh
