Found this video really interesting as I have a relatively large backlog myself. Fortunately not nearly as large as this one.

Personally, I’ve only ever considered games I own to be part of my backlog, which makes my list much more manageable. That said, I have a large number of unplayed games on both Steam and GoG. So to start I’ve decided to play all my GoG games first (as that is still within reach). I’ve promised myself not to buy any more games untill all my GoG games are either completed or marked “did not finish” due to it not being my thing.

    I think this is what the commenter above is getting at. You say you want to play the game, but “dnf” means “did not finish” which alludes closer to just checking it off a list.

    My list is basically my library. I only buy games if I want to play them (I don’t bother redeeming free games if I don’t intend to play it). That said, just because I want to play a game doesn’t guarantee I end up enjoying it. The great perhaps is one such game. Thought it was for me, didn’t enjoy it, so won’t bother finishing it.
