As the author says in this article, it’s not their original idea, but this is the first time I’m hearing about it.
It basically boils down to play a game from your backlog for a bit, and whether you liked it or not, or kept playing it or bounced right off, you now have permission to remove it from your backlog. It sounds very freeing.
I take perhaps a little too much pride in having a very small catalogue of unplayed games (not because I play games a lot, but because I am dreadfully cheap and hardly ever buy anything lol), but even an old miser like me could probably benefit from a little tidying.
Indeed, but it’s possible to try it and see if you like it or not. I wish this time limit was a bit longer and it was 3 or 4 hours but it is what it is and it is better than nothing.

Yep. I just like to point this out since i have burned myself on it previously
time limit is rarely enough for me. work is all over the place and can’t give me a reasonably regular schedule unless its just constantly busy
