How that Steam Summer Sale feeling gets you:
I spent like £70 on Apollo t-shirts so no Steam games for me 😩
@gamingonlinux steam deck has definitely increased the backlog for sure 😶
@gamingonlinux Why do you have to call me out like that, man? O_o
@gamingonlinux I am worringly close to 2k games in my Steam account. I blame proton more than the deck though.
@gamingonlinux
Im definitely not convincing my friends to buy the valve complete pack for 5bucks so we can play cs1.6 like the good ol days.

@gamingonlinux @mookie

for installing all the emulators and then never playing them.

@gamingonlinux
I've just avoided going to the store page out of self preservation
@gamingonlinux @trendytoots With or without a steamdeck, I suppose!
@gamingonlinux Ah yes, my Steam Deck.
My steam deck for legally acquired games from the Steam store.
My Steam Deck created specifically to play games on steam.
That steam deck.
@gamingonlinux I did this exactly this with mine when I got it.
@gamingonlinux I converted to PC gaming with the purchase of Steam Deck and immediately added to my backlog through Steam sales.
@gamingonlinux
> discount on steam deck
> "oh hey neat I meant to buy one -"
> it's sold out
@gamingonlinux making a hard rule to only buy new games if I'm gonna play them immediately has done wonders for my backlog. if a games discounted it's probably gonna be discounted again

@gamingonlinux
This year I bought three DLC packs for games I'm playing. I might buy a few more. I'm not buying anything new until I get my unfinished games to single digits and my unplayed games to double-digits.

So I need to start four more games and then beat nine games. I figure by the next Steam sale I will easily get there, but I can't buy so many games that I will be at 100 unplayed games, so I will have a very limited amount I can buy.

@gamingonlinux God I wish Valve made the steam deck available in my country
