Goodbye 2018
Oh where do I even begin…
Happy New Year everyone! :)
This year I have completed drum roll 222 games (not even counting beaten games here) which is 60 more than I have completed last year (162). In the end of the last year I have given myself a sort of challenge to have 25% of beaten games by the end of the year and I am happy to say that with 22% completed and 3% beaten games I have hit my goal.

Changes I have implemented for 2018
Last year I have decided to make some changes so lets see how well that went.
No more forcing myself to play what I don’t want/feel like to anymore. Which means I will probably stop doing “Challenge me”s and similar (after I finish the current one). This one is the main change I really need to do for my own sanity and to cut down on the stress level a little bit.
Yup, I have done that for the most part (ignoring me almost losing my shit playing Spec Ops: The Line, I really don’t see why people like that game so much). I am a member of the PoP group but so far I always to go play good games so that was nice :)
Try to actually finish games when I start playing them so I am not stuck with +100 installed games stuck for years in the limbo of unfinished games. That doesn’t mean I will be finishing immediately everything I have started because see the first point.
Even if I am now at around 160 installed games I actually finished the vast majority of the games I have started and my “unfinished” game percentage went down 2% and there are 11 games less classified as “unfinished” so I must be doing something right.
Due to the fact of me trying to clear as much of my backlog as possible in 2017 I neglected my real life backlog and it became huge. Already in mid December I gave myself a rule that I have to spend at least an hour a day clearing my real life backlog. It has been working quite well so far and I am really happy about it.
Hahahah lol no this didn’t stick for more than 2 weeks after my post. But I did actually do some decent job clearing my “IRL backlog” so I am happy about it regardless.
Fix my BLAEO profile and make it more “fancy” looking. I will probably do that in the next few days.
It is very half assed and out of date. I really need to finish this one.
Goals for 2019
- 30% beaten and completed games - half as much as what I have hoped for 2018 which should hopefully give me time to work on some longer games that have been sitting in my backlog for years.
- Fix my BLAEO profile and make it more “fancy” looking - see “Changes I have implemented for 2018”
- Finish my weekly post generator and add a monthly one as well - it has been in a half assed state for way too long.
Wow so many games done and everyone is just popping out their reports now especially yearly ones. Havent been on this a year myself to actually do that and I dont know fancy coding to do even like you so think Ill have to leave out mine but well done on everything and hope your goals happen
I actually wrote mine a few days in advance already (took quite a bit of work to put it all together), just pasted it in now (well 14 hours ago when I was still home). If you need any help with any HTML/CSS let me know, while I am not expert I know enough that I have put together my own generator for my weekly posts. And even if it is not fancy/a whole year I don’t see why you shouldn’t share your progress with others :) Thank you and happy new year! ^^
Thanks, yeah mine would be simply pasting either every name or pasting the boxes again. I may not have done as many as you but I still think having done almost 80 complete games would be a giant spam post.
That’s a staggering amount of games you removed from your backlog! That’s amazing, MouseWithBeer.
Best of luck on your resolutions! Happy 2019!
Thank you! I wish you the same of any you might have and a happy new year too! + Many fun hours with Yakuza and any other game you will play :)
You got almost 400 new games in 2018, but still improved your completed % by a bunch? That’s amazing progress! Congrats Mouse! :D
Thank you! :) 2018 was a great for gaming for me. Now I just need to stop acquiring that many games so I can beat more games than I add to the backlog :P
Nice progress :D
I like those game tabs. Could add it to my summary post, if I’d see it earlier.
Damn, you must have scrolled down a lot to see this post when you did :D
Thank you! Well it is never too late to add them I guess, otherwise you can always try to remember for the next one if you don’t find something better in the mean time :)
Congrats on the progress!
First I read too fast and I thought you had completed 222 games THIS YEAR (without the beaten ones) and I was like “how the fuck”. Nonetheless, really good progress, and best of luck for 2019. Best wishes and happy new year!
I did complete 222 games this year, you read it right the first time :D Thank you and happy new year to you as well! :)
THAT IS HUGE! (Sorry the wording got confusing) :O I’m extremely impressed!
I reworded it a tiny bit, I think it should be a bit more clear now? Maybe?
It is not that impressive when you look at the playtimes and see just how many are really short games, but there is a few bigger ones here and there too and those I am proud of :)
It does, thanks (but i think it was mostly my brain). It’s still a good chunk of your backlog so this is something. And yes long ones are always more satisfying to complete for some reason ;)
