Not a fan of all these posts having the same image, a screenshot of whatever the biggest news piece is would probably be an improvement

Space is almost free, and it’s a good cue to what you’re going to find. It’s how I tell my PerfectDark posts apart.

I use bgstats.

I’ve been using backloggery.com for more than 15 years.

It’s a simple, manual site, but I think that’s also its main strenght - I’ve had too many issues with other sites where I wanted to add a niche game I played but it was not in their databases, inconsistent naming between games in the same series, no ability to add duplicates when I occasionally double-diped on a game and so on.

It has all features I need - you can add reviews, notes, track priorities, wishlist, borrowed games, make custom lists, get stats… it’s also community supported with no ads.

The site was a bit stale without development for a while, but Drumble (the owner) finished a major rewrite last year and started developing new features again. You can check his profile here for an example.

Not a complete list, but I made a spreadsheet to help me keep track of the games I bought but then never or barely played to try to get me to revisit them in some organized way. Outside of that, there’s just the steam library. Anything further back from my time playing on consoles is kind of just lost to time and memory unless it was a particularly memorable game.

www.howlongtobeat.com has some features to help with this. Will enable you to import games and playtimes from Steam.

I just started a checklist in Joplin, gonna make a new list for each year.

supersquirrel, 22 dni temu do games w How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?

I don’t, my favorite games have a way of leaping out of my memory or my life and latching onto my face to remind me I love them. I guess I forget the others.

bungle_in_the_jungle, 22 dni temu do games w How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?

I’ve set up my own DB in Notion for this.

N0ll, 22 dni temu do games w How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?

www.backloggery.com might be the least modern looking game tracking site, but it’s the only one I found which gives you a yearly breakdown of your started and beat games, that’s way I use it.

Like goodreads but for games? Name it goodplays maybe?

Blackout, 22 dni temu do gaming w Everyone finds games to be wholesome when you can pet dogs, but what about cats?

That's my biggest complaint about RDR2. Almost perfect game except you can't pet the cougars.

Agent_Karyo, 24 dni temu do games w I made a terminal-based hacker simulation game for CLI nerds. It's free. Feedback?

How does it compare to Uplink in terms of gameplay. Uplink was the best simulation style hacking game that I’ve played.

AstralPath, 24 dni temu

Bitburner is pretty cool too.

BrightCandle, 24 dni temu

The real value of uplink was that it was a game about hacking, it wasn’t trying to be realistic it had artificial tension added as well as simplified concepts but added gameplay around that. Almost all of the modern hacking games are much more realistic and capable but also miss what made Uplink the iconic game which is gameplay.

I would love a spiritual successor to Uplink, I would definitely play that, but so far all the hacking games I have seen since have fallen into the trap of realism and programming.

Agent_Karyo, 24 dni temu

Agreed. Realism is honestly not needed (although it’s cool that we have such games). You need good gameplay and atmosphere and ambience that give you the feeling of being in a different world so to speak.

squaresinger, 24 dni temu

Well, IRL hacking doesn’t have exciting gameplay mechanics. So more realistic hacking game might not be such a clever idea.

noughtnaut, 23 dni temu (edited 22 dni temu)

I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I really recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it’s just a fun, free, online game.

Elevator7009, 22 dni temu

+1 for Skynet Simulator. Uplink was a ton of fun. Have not tried more than 2 minutes of Bitburner.

Elevator7009, 22 dni temu (edited 22 dni temu)

It compares in that it’s an AI chatbot actually

I enjoy these posts. Have you skipped any days? Impressive consistency 😁

MyNameIsAtticus, 23 dni temu

I don’t believe so! Though, I’ve had a few network problems sometimes when posting on Lemmy, so I would not at all be surprised if a post just didn’t upload one time

C8r9VwDUTeY3ZufQRYvq, 23 dni temu

Nice! How long are you planning to continue?

MyNameIsAtticus, 22 dni temu

Right now my goal is a year. At that point i want to consider if where my life is going if i can keep going, but judging how relaxed my life is, i expect to be able too

Or you could be a cat (Stray or Little Kitty Big City, depending on where on the perilous/wholesome axis you prefer)
