You Shouldn't Worry About Your Backlog 

Thanks man! It means a lot! 😁

Hard facts, instead of seeing it as a mountain of chores, you have to see it as a mountain of untouched treasures 😁

And thats whats important. I stopped worrying a while ago before making this video and never felt better, no obligation and no sense of pressure to finish a game, which basically inspired me to make this video 😅😁

@@domsdiary_ love the video! Keep up the good work.

Thanks! The support means a lot! 😁

Big facts, enjoy the current moment and whatever you play right now, games are here to stay and they aint going nowhere 😁 I just recently started playing Witcher 3 for the first time and I am having a blast considering the game came out in 2015 😁

Same here 😅 But I at least know there is some good stuff waiting if I want to play something else 😁

Always my friend. You just need to take your time and not worry, we have all the time in the world and there will be a time to play whatever you want without feeling pressed to play said game. Gaming is all about relaxation and joy of exploration, so relax and play whatever you want 😁

I feel you man, Im completely the same. I still go for platinums from time to time but I also started to play games that I have missed out and wont be getting the 100% cuz its a little tough but the experience was worth it 😁

@@domsdiary_ Yeah, I was a trophy hunter for sure. I eventually switched to PC gaming and achievements don't have the same effect on me as trophies did. So now I tend to 100% games not for the achievements but to get the "full" experience of the game. But it can be daunting with the amount of things game have to do nowadays.

For real, I'm the same, with all the limited time I have, I need to manage my life, my job and squeeze in playing games and editing 😅 Although, I am managing right now, I found the perfect balance 😁

I'm super happy you found a great balance for you! I'm still struggling to balance work, wife, kids, and responsibilities. I haven't played games in over 6 months.

Oof, I feel ya, but dont worry, life is a funny thing and things eventually turn easier and for the better! 😁

Its great to hear that it did! As a completionist myself, I know how its like to dedicate yourself to one game until you finish it, but its also important to have fun too! So play whatever you like for however long you like! 😁

Exactly, while we all share the same problem, each and every one of us have to figure out how to deal with said problem in our own way, finding that "mentality shift". And thank you for the kind words, they mean a lot 😁

Thats good to hear! Everyone has their own way of dealing with a backlog and I'm glad you found yours. For me, I typically look at spoiler free reviews if its a game that I dont know of but looks interesting so I can see if I will be playing it or not, but in the case of a known game that I know will play, I just put it to the side until that magic to play it comes back again (or when I feel like it 😅). But I am mostly the same about the backlog like you, if I'm not interested, I will just put it to the side and wait for the moment to play it while I play something I am far more interested in. And thanks for the comment, glad you found the video interesting 😁

Same here man, in 4 years I am sitting at 80 platinums, I still go for platinums in many games but I also play some in between to even out fun and challange 😁 Everyone has their own kind of taste and we need to find that balance on our own, but I am glad you are starting to find that balance! And thank you for the support, it means a lot 😁

Yes, exactly. This week I came back to a game I already played many times and made me more relaxed than any other game recently. I've expanded my taste but also know what to come back if I want to relax or maybe it's a nostalgia thing. You've got great balance and hope you keep at it as well! ^^

Thank you and yes, just have fun, there is no obligation that you "need" to play everything, play what you want and have fun 😁

Thanks man! It means a lot 😁

Yeah I feel you, with so many options it starts to feel overwhelming to choose what to play, I find myself in that position sometimes since my backlog is still pretty big 😅

@domsdiary_ For an idea of the games off the top of my head that I'm legitimately excited for (metroid prime 4: 2025, Doom dark ages: 2025, sonic x shadow generations: October, lollipop chainsaw remake: September) then there's stuff that looks fun that I may want to pick up (mario and luigi brothership: later this year, legend of zelda echoes of wisdom: September) My backlog games? Oh boy where to start: ff7 rebirth, returnal (the only things ps exclusive I want to play), system shock remake, get into shmups, arcade racing games that aren't mario kart, freedom planet 2, I want to get back into jrpgs, paper mario 1000 year door remake, super mario rpg remake, luigis mansion, I can just go on and on. It gets a little tough just picking a game, especially now since I'm considering bringing my switch to work to get an hour in every night on lunch breaks.

Same here, my October for this year is looking crazy 😭 Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Silent Hill 2 Remake. Then for 2025 Doom Dark Ages and some other coom games that got announced, but still have some old games that I have to play man 😭 All the Metro games, Red Dead 1 and 2 and a whole bunch I cant think of right but I know I have 150+ games unplayed 😭

Thank you! It really means a lot when a video you work so hard on reaches the right audience 😁

Thanks! It means a lot 😁

Thanks man! It really means a lot 😁

lmaoo 🤣

Man, Im also thinking of getting a Vita or a PSP and hack one of them, I never had a handheld console ever and to think technology has evolved enough to store so many games on one small console and have it everywhere with you is truly amazing.

@@domsdiary_ get a vita, way better. It's actually natively backwards compatible with PSP. And it can run Dreamcast (there's a guide to what it runs). Your only limit is how much storage you buy, but with the hack it can use microsd. If you get a 128 or 256 you'll be good. Even vita games are like 3gb max. Psp like 1. Everything else way less, GBA games are single digit megabytes

Okay, thank you for this info! Definitely getting a Vita now 😅😁

@@domsdiary_ look up jayboymodz ps vita. He breaks down how to hack it in RU-vid shorts. It's like 3 minutes worth of videos. Super useful info

Thanks! 😁

True true, gaming should be fun and not feel like a chore 😁

Thank you, your support really means a lot 😁

Literally me restarting Red Dead 2 for 3 times now cuz I always tell myself I will finish it this time but then I pick up something else 😭 (I will finish up Red Dead 2 one day, the story part where I got is amazing 🙏)

@@domsdiary_ Currently i'm trying to stop myself from buying "long" games because ghost of tsushima releases on PC in like 2 days 💀

Me who just got Fallout 4, Dark Souls Remastered, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, Diablo 3 and Firewatch to replay for videos and play for the first time ever 😅😅

Its Bomb Rush Cyberfunk! Its a spiritual successor to JSRF! I highly reccomend it, if you want to know a little bit more, I also made a video about it 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NwY_Y8tLV1o.htmlsi=_DeZ5igI49Czpsnk

I always saw my uncle play it back in the day and always wondered how it was called and now, I finally found it and played it a little to get some background footage, the game is addicting 🙏

Thanks man, means a lot 😁

Its Dead Space! 😁

SSX 3, definitely a must play if you love those type of games, although I played it on a PS2 emulator, but its easy to set up 😁

@@domsdiary_ love steep so i'm gonna pick up ssx 3 :D thank you!

Good taste dude! My journey with snowboarding games also started with Steep! 😁

Yooo, thanks man! For sure, its d0m1nus_ 😁
