How do you go about clearing your backlog? (lemmy.world)

Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

I used to have a list of games I wanted to play. It grew and grew and kept on growing. One day, I did some back-of-the-envelope math and realized that, at a game a week, just playing through everything currently on it would take about sixty years. I don't expect to be alive in sixty years.

So I deleted the whole list.

Some of the games on that list I still very much want to play; I'll get around to them when I feel like it or else not at all. Many of them I have forgotten--which only reveals that I didn't really care all that much about playing them to begin with.
