Backloggery cure???
Boom, finished FFX HD, finally! Also watched Eternal Calm. All chronicled here. I'm going to focus on other games for a bit before diving into FFX-2. This is partly because I'm doing a "finish unfinished games" challenge on Habitica. I already finished one (Fantasy Life) and FFX didn't count because I've previously finished it. My necessities list, in order:
1)Earthbound (mostly done - probably a few hours left; "any additional unfinished game")
2)Brothers (no more than 2 hours left, probably; "any unfinished game you haven't played in a month")
3) Bastion (not really done - the internet says it's about 7 hours long; "any unfinished game you haven't played in 6 months")
Then I can contemplate FFX-2, which will be the final part of my challenge, "Finish a game you haven't played in over a year." There are other games I want to pick up... In no particular order, my maybes list:
a) Tales of Xillia? (I do want to finish it, but it's so long and doesn't fill the "over a year" requirement FFX-2 does)
b) Tales of Vesperia PS3, patched? (Kristy and Rob are playing TOV English and I have the itch. they're just at Judith's intro...!)
c) Papers, Please? (mostly done - probably like an hour left)
In other news, I'm going to have a niece and I'm very tired.

You inspire me. *stares at games pending finishing* ...I could stand to do a challenge like yours. ...but at this point I should just restart all these games, because I've forgotten how to effing play them. (FFIV, what are you. FFVI, uuuh that was always kind of tricky. Also I never did finish FFVII. I am very lazy sometimes, oops.)

Habitica is handy that way. I'm thinking of making a new challenge specifically to address Backloggery (e.g. not starting a new game until a previous game has been finished; not letting games sit unplayed for so long that Backloggery makes them turn grey; etc). The restarting trap is so insidious and evil, because there comes a point where you just have to, but then... eventually you just end up needing to do it for like the fourth time, and... orz
I still haven't finished FFIV either! FFVI is classic and FFVII is what it is. If you're emulating these games on the computer, you can use cheat codes, you know. Some people are not a fan of them, but in my opinion, beating a game is an achievement regardless of whether or not you had to grind endlessly to get there.

I think I left FFVI off after Humbaba (or Huwawa? ...I get confused because Epic of Gilgamesh, lol). Definitely in the World of Ruin. (Of course I saved Cid. Poor Celes! I couldn't cause her more pain!) I might use cheat codes on that one, just because I don't actually care for pride points, I just want to get to the end. FFIV I am... we're doing something for the Dwarf King, and we're underground. I have completely forgotten how to play it, sobs. I do remember, though, being in the mid-20s with Cecil before he went and became a level 1 paladin. Like are you kidding me, grinding sucked but oh I love that game. (So many deaths...!) That one I have on the DS.
Gosh there are so many games I want to emulate. *slaps own hand* No. Crochet instead. Finish fic instead. (Partly your fault, because the Tales of... games seem cool! It's a good thing to be guilty of, lol.) And lord knows all of these things are better than trying to beat the Imprisoned. :D

Ahhhhahaha, I hear that. I often "joke" that I only play games 85% of the way through, then start them over after a year of neglect, but . . . it's not so much a joke.

Congratulations on becoming an aunt! My tenure as an uncle has been quite rewarding, so I hope the same will go for you.

My tentative thoughts are
1) daily: play at least some of a game every day
2) daily: update Backloggery
3) habit: resisted the urge to start a new game / finished an old game before doing so
4) habit: don't let a game go grey from lack of updating it
5) to-do: choose one game per platform to finish first, since having multiple DS games on my Backloggery invariably results in me only playing one of them anyway.
plus some bonus to-dos.

Ahhhhh, Bastion. I somehow forgot about that game despite loving it unconditionally.no subject
I have a spare Bastion key because a friend bought it for me and then I... rebought it a long, long time later after I forgot I had it. The last time I played it was on February 2013.
Not that I haven't been interested or haven't wanted to, it's just... You know.
