November and December
No completions in the last two months. I’m a terrible assassin!
I received Stardew Valley from Lilith (^o^)/ at the start of December and have been playing that a lot recently.
Other games I’ve made some progress in but haven’t finished over the last two months are - Doom, Enter the Gungeon, Neon Chrome, Spelunky, PixelJunk™ Shooter Ultimate, and The Swapper. I’m not a big fan of The Swapper but am trying to persevere and finish it. Neon Chrome is okay, but can feel my attention waning on that one too. The others are good and I’ll continue with them.
I had another clean out of games that I won’t play or are multiplayer only with dead servers. One slighly annoying thing is that games from bundles are registered on Steam together, so I can’t delete one without losing the others too. Guess I’ll just have to hide them, learn to love them, or ignore them in my library.
2017 in retrospect
The end of 2017 marks one year for me on BLAEO.
At the start of the year, I made a lot of progress. Probably because I could choose from a lot of games and concentrate on the easier ones to complete, I also had a bit more time. Things have slowed down a lot since then and I haven’t beaten or completed many games.
However, the site has built some good habits in my gaming. It’s encouraged me to play games I had ignored in my library, clear out ones I’ll never play, and has also made me think more carefully about what I buy. So, while I haven’t completed as many games as I’d like, the site has helped me a lot!
Here’s my progress for the year from the stats page of my profile:
Beginning of January - 276 games
End of December - 249 games
There’s a way of seeing your % stats from earlier on? I’ve seen loads of people compare and been kicking myself all year for not keeping track of what my progress was when I started. But couldn’t find anything in the various settings when searching.
And sounds like you’re having a good time with gaming, despite not beating a lot. As long as you’re playing and having fun you’re making progress. :) I gave up on Enter the Dungeon fairly quickly (despite being so excited for it at the time) but have been meaning to give it a proper go. I know it’s one I should play in a short period of time, so I don’t lose all my knowledge/skills.
Anyways congrats your backlog assassin-ing, hope 2018 brings great things!
There’s no function to check past stats on this site, as far as I know.. I made a point of looking at my Steam profile and BLAEO profile stats each month and recording them in a separate tab in my profile.
The only way I know of that you can get an idea of your stats from the past is from sites like True Steam Acheivements and I think that’s only from when you register on that site. If you have an account already, it might help. Maybe you can just start from 2018! Either use a stat tracking site or the info from Steam now as a starting point.
(Oops I replied to your comment in my head, apparently I didn’t type it out too..sorry haha.)
Ah okay no worries. That’s what I figured but thought I’d ask in case! I did keep track of the games played in 2017 so it’s not a huge deal, would’ve just preferred exact numbers since I deleted a bunch of games too. Appreciate you letting me know. :)
Playing Stardew Valley, you’re excused ^^
I think that’s the case with a lot of people, at the start you get lured in by the small games that look like a quick way to gain a few percentage points and make pie charts look better.
Then after a while you realize that boosting numbers isn’t the point; being more “responsible” with your library is :3
I’m definitely more responsible! I think SG is benefiting too, as I tend to make giveaways rather than buy games for myself.
Love the cat on your Nov & Dec posts. I hope there are more to come!
