Time Deletion
Guys… I’m up to 77 hours in Mewgenics. It hasn’t even been two full weeks yet.
That’s not even the worst/best part: Slay the Spire 2 is hitting Early Access on March 5th. It has one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen for a roguelike deckbuilder:
Granted, I don’t really know of many other roguelike deckbuilding trailers.
In any case, yeah, pour one out for my gaming backlog. And frontlog, for that matter. I certainly haven’t been spending any time thinking about Expedition 33 (etc) in the last two weeks. Too busy drinking from the firehose. Perhaps I can circle back in April… no, let’s say May. End of Q2, for sure.
(Heh, I didn’t say of which year)
Space Saving
When I bought my new computer a while back, I splurged on a 2TB SSD to ensure I had enough space to install a large(r) number of games. I get in certain gaming “moods” and thus need to ensure that I have certain flavors available, lest I do something dumb like watch YouTube Shorts for hours instead. Unfortunately, not even 2TB can save me forever.
After installing Folder Size Explorer, I found the top offenders:
- Red Dead Redemption 2 – 120GB
- Diablo 4 – 45GB
- Starfield – 127GB
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – 51GB
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – 130GB
- Control – 50GB
- Death Stranding – 63GB
- Alan Wake Remastered – 38GB
- Baldur’s Gate 3 – 142GB
- Day’s Gone – 60GB
- Elden Ring – 48GB
- Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey – 78GB
- Assassin’s Creed: Origins – 49GB
That’s definitely a Who’s Who of backlog shame.
Now, of course, none of this is a problem-problem. I don’t actually need to have SW Jedi Survivor installed when I haven’t completed the first one. Starfield can probably go too, since I already played it for 65 hours and am unlikely to go back prior to the expansion coming out (or at all). And not sure why I have any of the Assassin’s Creed games installed. But… You Never Know™.
Of the list, I am making the most current progress on Control and Diablo 4. Which is tragic, in a way, given the installed alternatives. But what I really want to be playing right now is some dumb survival crafting game. I am not playing one due to the fact that I have basically played them all aside from the ones not currently on sale. Mercifully, the Steam Summer sale starts on 6/27, so I can get back to vigorously scratching the eczema that is a predilection towards punching trees and hoarding resources.
…although, I’m just now realizing that I will actually need, you know, space to install these games.
Oh my. Better get back to it.
