Yeah that makes sense. Almost everything I play is emulated/retro single player games.
How many hours?
I've got about a year total from hours logged in steam games, ~30% of which is one game
That's a tricky question because most of what i play doesn't have a reliable way of tracking hours. In some years, even if the quantity of games is lower, I may have played a higher% of long af games. For example, 2020 I beat more games, but in 2023 I played to completion way more longer games (No Man's Sky, Breath of the Wild, Etrian Odyssey IV, Dragon Quest VIII, Shin Megami Tensei IV).
If I had to guess, using 2023 as an example, I'd probably estimate maybe 1500 hours total in a year.
Just excel/sheets, I like to keep it all in the same workbook. I track the usual things you'll find on Wikipedia, publisher, developer, release year, etc. It's led to some interesting insights. Apparently I'm fairly consistent with the age of the games I play (tldr the games i play are generally 15-20 years old)
all the game metadata I can just pull from the internet automatically later on as long as I have the title
to be honest the only time I actually look at stats on steam is the steam replay summaries, and then never again, so I dont really need to keep too much info, just enough to know which games to recommend to others
the only other time I look at stats is if Im judging someone's steam profile and seeing what shitty games they spend their lives in
That's a pretty good idea. I use scrapers for emulators and front ends, I could easily figure out how to do that to grab some more data i'm not already capturing.
you're an absolute homosexual. who's supposed to be able to discern this shit. should've stayed with one color for console type and used patterns to distinguish colors better rather than use shades of the same color. absolute fricking homosexualry. slip on a dick
Calm down ya frickin weirdo, I hastily redid all my graphs a few months ago when transitioning from Excel -> Google Sheets. GS is dogshit when it comes to graphs. I can manually change the colors of everything (i like the idea of color scheme for playstation, nintendo, sega, etc), but any time I add new data or filter it changes the colors back to GS's shitty default scheme, which is what you see in the graph now.

why would you downgrade your spreadsheet?
what if your google account gets shut down?
what if internet goes down?

I save backup copies as .xlxs. The only reason I switched to GS is because I want to be able to modify it from any of my devices. Sharepoint+Excel is absolute dogshit for that. But, if you know any better alternatives I'm all ears.

this is a good idea
red for nintendo
blue for snoy
green for xbox
grey for pc
otherwise you just have to consult the chart if you ever bother to identify anything
I joined the military, got my bachelor’s in science while I was in and became registered as a EEG tech on the government’s dime. I still haven’t touched my GI Bill so I’m planning on going to graduate school for free next year to get my PhD after getting out. As someone that was a 26 year old NEET did I do good in improving my life, Ganker?
what is your diagnosis?
My psychiatrist and therapist both swear i'm not autistic, so idk lol
>console player
i'm getting the ick
what happened in 2019
I met a girl, she broke me
im sorry bro
Thanks anon, it's ok i've moved on for a while now
don't let roasties affect your gamer grind, dawg
How many hours?
I've got about a year total from hours logged in steam games, ~30% of which is one game
Every time I've tried to do this I've noticed that a good number of the games I play aren't "beatable", which has put me off the idea.
Yeah that makes sense. Almost everything I play is emulated/retro single player games.

playing games
I started doing this last year but not in this much detail
My full database has 35 fields
what db are you using? just excel?
what stats do you track?
I just track year, the game and what score I give it out of 10
if I track playtime, when I start playing, or when I beat it, it'll get too ocd
Just excel/sheets, I like to keep it all in the same workbook. I track the usual things you'll find on Wikipedia, publisher, developer, release year, etc. It's led to some interesting insights.

>no vr
you're missing out
That looks sick and there's some vr games i've been interested in, alas it's not in the budget for now
get a Quest 3 when it's on sale
I would have done the same shit if there was a MAL style website for vidya that isn't shit
Frick, I'm not using an excel sheet
I just keep a notepad file with an alphabetical list of the games I've beaten.
well, you just made me realize that i didn't waste my time all that much

do this op
you'll need to add some kind of ordinal to the names if you want to make them appear in the right order thoughever
now graph how many kids you have
i feel you bro
i've been making autistic sheets in google sheets for years now
apparently not autistic, something else is wrong with me
