i hated this game for some reason, one of those that sticks in my memories as “game i should have liked but instead despised”

I felt the same and I’m not sure what I’d change. I don’t think Carrion got the feeling of amoeboid movement nearly as well as Mushroom 11 but using the mouse like an eraser felt really detached. Maybe a touch or DS interface would work better?
I think the setting (post-shroom-apocalypse mystery) was correct but it wasn’t told interestingly enough.

Oh hey, I’m inspired to resurrect this thread.
I don’t have quite as exhaustive a recollection of what I’ve been playing, unless maybe I scour the past few Games You’ve Played threads to figure it all out. But that’s a project for another night, I’m busy actually consuming media and shit, over here!
My GOG and Amazon Prime backlogs are the ones I’m trying to power through the most. I still want to axe my GOG account and my Prime subscription is set to lapse in March and I want to divest myself of that company going forward. In the meantime I’ve started to build up a Switch backlog, a little bit, which I totally expected. It is what it is.

As a point of comparison, you don’t try to watch everything on netflix, why try to play everything received for “free”?
Yes let’s have this convo across two threads.

I’ve outright disqualified quite a lot of the “free” stuff and am especially ready to ditch anything I do wind up playing after just a little bit. I’m also doing the same with all the throw-ins I’ve accumulated from Humble Bundles over the years. There were so many where I bought a bundle for one or two games and then wound up with another three that like, some of them seem interesting so why not check them out?
Answer: because a lot of them have been pretty bad.
Counterpoint: On rare occasions they turn out to be great!

For similar psychological reasons I personally refuse to be influenced by the catalog of Netflix/Game Pass style subscription services. I collect recommendations into a note file, and then when I have the time to experience one of them, I google what service I can find it on.
If it’s only available on something like Netflix then ideally what I like to do is subscribe and immediately unsubscribe, effectively getting me a 1-month rental period for the one TV series I decided to watch. Subscribing via my Apple account makes this very easy and standardized, without any tricks they can pull to make it hard to unsubscribe.

I never will. But I usually put more than that into them.

I sure as heck have bought more stuff for this system and I never circled back to Pokemon Sword so that is where I am at with this particular thing.
I have two games left on my Amazon Prime Gaming “backlog”, unless something compelling gets added to the service on March 1st. Either way I anticipate playing these sometime in the next 25 days.

Sick, I’ve already played Stillness of the Wind. I have Surviving Mars and Hand of Gilgamech already. I don’t care about Madden.
Crypto Against All Odds LMAO, a Crypto-themed tower defense game that’s almost bizarre enough that I have to hateplay it for a half hour. Look Inside I guess I can also mess with for a few minutes until I feel like I’m bored of it.
Oh God a Homestuck visual novel? I’m morbidly curious.
Okay, all-in-all that’s not so bad. I could easily just wind up saying screw this whole batch of games on March 24th and not really have any FOMO
The Homestuck game came out as a stop gap for the Adventure game that will never ever be finished. Except they never explained this to the KS Backers. So about a year ago I just got a notice this game was on sale and had no context for it.
Like all the post HS-ending HS content I bet it is so self-indulgent fandom coffee shop nonsense that it is impossible for a normal adult to enjoy it.
Trying that steamworld -Slay The Spire- sounds good.

How is Stillness, a lonely game farming sim with A Story seems…well good for a 22 year old.
It was a good mood piece but ultimately I didn’t want to spend more than about 30 minutes with it.

I might be mistaken here, but I think unlike other services you maintain access to your redeemed Amazon/twitch prime games even after your Prime membership lapses so you can play those games whenever if you choose?

If so, I may one day loop back around to some of these but for my own sanity I may need to give myself a deadline and then pretend they’re gone forever.

I’ve now run out of games to play via Amazon. I can shut the door on that platform and relieve myself of another overwhelming content-faucet. Feels good.

Forgive me Backlog, for I have sinned. It has been a month and a half since my last confession.
I bought a Humble Bundle, after a while of being pretty good about not acquiring too many new games. We all backslide into temptation now and again, I suppose.
Vampire Survivors is going to wind up being one of those games I accidentally but 75 hours into. I should try to take a break from it for a while so I can play something else.
