Idk if I could do it. Now finishing games is one thing, but I have to explore those new games on the horizon in the new year. With that being said, I would love to see how your journey is.

I’m feeling this vibe for 2025, too. My backlog is enormous.

braynbasher.bsky.social•55 days ago

I think this is a time paradox. If you play no new games then you backlog will pretty much stay the same. You’ll be in an infinite loop.

If I did this I could survive off Fortnite Festival with all my old Rock Band gear

if*

…… maybe not on the year of the Switch 2 😇

andylunique.bsky.social•55 days ago

Oh come now, it’s Nintendo. The launch strategy will have at best 20 “new” games in year 2

aspekt.gg•55 days ago

One will be Fortnite running at 60fps 🤩

Andy has activated BEAST MODE.

That level of patience and control not to try something your friends or coworkers are gushing over.

I need to finally dig into Cyberpunk, finish the Trails of Cold Steel series, and Metaphor.

andylunique.bsky.social•55 days ago

crap. I forgot about Metaphor

I should do this, but I'm scared I'll get distracted.
But I ended up buying and playing fewer and smaller games last year.

andylunique.bsky.social•55 days ago

lol trust me I get it, especially when the new and Shiny comes along. I feel like we need people to keep us accountable.

Highly recommend. Ive been doing the same and it's been a joy.

cosplayingzoroark.bsky.social•55 days ago

I’m trying to do the same.

I still have games from 2023 that i haven’t even touched.

knottian.bsky.social•54 days ago

I almost accomplished this last year when I took part in our community backlog challenge. Only ended up buying seven games last year and beat almost 50. Can’t recommend doing something like this enough; it’s a great way to save money and to appreciate what you already have :)

I have such a large backlog from the last few years…

daddysports.bsky.social•54 days ago

The Steam sales are the biggest challenge to this, also walking through Walmart and seeing those yellow $10 stickers lol

jemellee.com•54 days ago

i did a whole year and two of no new games.

i still havent touched my backlog 🫣😂

adamsessler.bsky.social•54 days ago

I played no new games last year and I saw no discernable drawbacks, games played better and I was outside of every discourse.
