As the author says in this article, it's not their original idea, but this is the first time I'm hearing about it.

It basically boils down to play a game from your backlog for a bit, and whether you liked it or not, or kept playing it or bounced right off, you now have permission to remove it from your backlog. It sounds very freeing.

I take perhaps a little too much pride in having a very small catalogue of unplayed games (not because I play games a lot, but because I am dreadfully cheap and hardly ever buy anything lol), but even an old miser like me could probably benefit from a little tidying.

I just cant get into competitive multiplayer anymore.

Big same.

I used to eat MP up, but now I just get tilted because my reflexes aren't what they used to be (that, and I can't devote an entire weekend to honing my twitch skillz).

I like your approach. I made this post actually mostly because I'm curious about trying it out myself. I feel like it might actually get me to play more games, rather than just scrolling through what I could play and then not playing anything.

    Yeah, I've found some real unexpected gems within my own library that I never knew I bought. Mostly through bundles. My absolute favorite discovery is a small adventure game named Little Misfortune, and I find myself quoting it often. Yikes forever.
