Christmas Challenge - Complete

Or at least the challenge period is over. To recap, my goal was to raise my SteamGifts won games played from 34% to at least 40% and hopefully also complete some of the games in that category I had begun in the past. So, how did I do?

Before:

After:

The first pic was taken a day or so late so I had already gained a percentage point at that point. However, overall I only went from 34% played to 37% played in the past month (roughly). However, that does not tell the whole story. I spent time playing 24 games from my wins list, including beating or completing 16 of them. Some games taking longer than expected, as well as an unusual amount of good luck winning more games on SteamGifts during December set my overall percentage back.

I wish I could have done more, but I’m pretty pleased with the progress, and have been having a good time with most of the games I’ve played (a couple are asset flips and you all know how those go).

Future

After two months back to back with significant self-challenges, I need to take a breather. By no means am I stopping fighting my backlog, especially my SteamGifts wins, but I need a little time without a goal hanging over me. I still really want to cut down on the “unfinished” category, especially the games I currently have installed and in-progress and in the process just savor some good games.

In a month or so I think I’ll be ready to set myself a new challenge, though you all will probably hear from me sooner than that.
