3rd Week of 2018 (Post 1. LET’S TACKLE THAT BACKLOG)

Hello everyone, so I decided it’s time to do something about my huge backlog, especially when I sorted my games and saw that many many games I won on SG are still untouched… shame shame shame
Additionally, I have many games I got as gifts from my friends so I guess I’ll try to simultaneously beat one game from SG and one from that list.

The first two are gonna be Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition from SG and 1931: Scheherazade at the Library of Pergamum. I’ll try to beat these by the end of January.

P.S. How do I link the games with thumbnails showing my progress? I’ve seen others do it and I wanna be cool too

Welcome! Here is a guide with basic HTML (#5 Making Posts) that might help you. Otherwise if you see someone’s format you like can always right click “view page source” and copy/paste whatever they used and edit it accordingly in your own post. If you can’t figure it out most people are friendly and will gladly help you out. :) Happy backlog killing!

Unfurl

Thank you very much, that’s very useful!

Step 1. Know Html/basic CSS
Step 2. In light of not knowing any html just copy other peoples stuff endlessly :3
Step 3. Profit

putting thumbnails is really easy you just go to your list and inspect element/copy the html for it…everything else is a wee bit more complicated

Unfurl

I failed at step 1 wat do

swich to step two and just copy other peoples formatting :3

Hi, Unfurl! Welcome, and best of luck with your backlog!

I’m looking forward to reading your review of 1931 - it’s a VN I’ve had my eye on for a while.

I want to second JaffaCaffa’s link to the guide - between the 5th step in that post, and the two links that accompany it down at the very bottom, I’ve managed to set up a post style I like - and if I can, you can too!

(Be warned: the first post will take you the longest time to set up (I think it took me like three hours the first time lol) but then you can copy and paste after that!)

Unfurl

Thank you! I usually don’t really like VNs as they’re over-sexified, mostly (whatever that means). But I think this one might be a bit different, as far as I have seen. I’ll definitely come up with a review - either short or more detailed - depends how the game’s gonna feel like :)

tsupertsundere

Oh man, I agree with you - finding VNs where the women aren’t tiddygoblins and the sexytimes are few OR emotionally intimate/relevent to the story is a grand undertaking.

If you’re interested in finding more VNs that fit that bill, I’ve put together a list [url=https://www.backlog-assassins.net/posts/27mzjwb]here[/url] that you might want to take a look at. Any games that have sexual situations in them (beyond PG-13) are marked with the tag ‘It Gets Sexy’ if you’d like to avoid it. Most of them stop at hand-holding and kissing, all of them are pretty tasteful (except, probably, Everlasting Summer).

Unfurl

Your link doesn’t work but I still copy-pasted it and actually added to my favorites for future use as I see a lot of games I already have and/or had my eye on! I don’t mind games that are a bit sexualized if it fits the story and is tasteful but I detest stuff like Sakura games where it’s like “oh it’s a plant I wonder what’s gonna…oh” an image to fap to if you’re 13 yo

tsupertsundere

Gah, shucks, wrong formatting for this site, whoops.

I hope it helps you out, and I’m adding to it all the time, whether it’s new entries or reviews by other folks.

Oh yeah, the Sakura games are baaaad. (also you made me laugh) There are so many now, and it gets me kind of pissed bc that’s a lot of people’s first impression of the genre and it’s… it’s so not a good look.

Hey Unfurl, welcome to BLAEO!
2099 games, that’s a lot! Good luck :)

Unfurl

Yeah about THAT number…just bought a new Humble…I guess I have a problem :D

Lucky Thirteen

Noo, bundles are tools of the evil Backlog! You… must… resist! :D

Formidolosus

Welcome to BLAEO, good luck whipping that backlog into shape!

Unfurl

Thank you, will try to do my best!

Vito

Hi! Welcome :) I also learned how to make a post by the linked guide, so make sure to check it out.
Good luck with your backlog!

Unfurl

Thank you <3 You have a lot of unfinished games, how come? I tend to drop them too, but yours is 1/3 of library! :o

Vito

I know, I know :/ Starting new games too often seems easier than finishing old ones. Especially since I almost never take up a game again after I took some kind of break from it…

On the other hand, my library is much smaller than yours, so in total number of games, you have almost as much unfinished ones as me ;)

Unfurl

Yeah that’s true…However, I tend to come back to the games I once started, except I start them from scratch and then I drop them again and then start form scratch and so on… Never ending story :D

welcome! I am no HTML wizard so what I always do is copy the site source code and make it simple!
You actually have worse completion ratio than me! must play more games to beat my 4% completion!

Unfurl

Hahaha, half of my library is complete shit I’m probably never playing (bundle trash, giveaways..) but I’ve a lot work to do with all those games from SG and my friends…We gotta make a race on completion ratio, since both are horrible!

Welcome & good luck with your backlog! ^_^

As for formatting, you can basically copy everything into your post - the elements of the site like the game tiles (visible in the lists), or other people’s formatting if you spot something you like. Right click, inspect, and copy entire block of HTML code into your post. :)
