I also realized that I had a few of these on Steam (or as spare Steam keys lying around from bundles) so I got to kick the can down the road on some of them. I can now play them (or not) on another platform at an unspecified future time.

Cities: Skylines
Detroit: Become Human
Dirt 5
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Furi
GreedFall
Heavenly Bodies
Iconoclasts

The bad news for my backlog is I have a baby now and no time to play games. The good news for my backlog is I have a baby now and no money to buy games.

Turned off my Nintendo Switch Online auto-renewal, which gives me a few months to play some stuff on there if I feel like it. Feels like the responsible thing to do and I guess I can finally cave and start emulating stuff more often in the future if I really want to start playing the Classics again.

Did you know Steam has a handy thing that tells you exactly how much money you’ve spent on the platform for the life of your account?
$1,286.41. I’ve had my account for 15 years so that works out to an average of about $85 a year, which honestly? When you put it like that it doesn’t seem so bad.
Okay but what about Humble Bundles? No easy tool but someone made a script
EUR_USD_FACTOR = 1.13
sumPage = () => +[...document.querySelectorAll('.results .total')].slice(1).map(s => {
eur = s[0] === '€'
s = s.textContent.replace(/,/g, '.')
n = +s.replace(/[^0-9.]+/g, '')
if (eur) return n * EUR_USD_FACTOR
return n
}).reduce((a, v) => a + v, 0).toFixed(2)
goToPage = p => {
el = document.querySelector(`.jump-to-page[data-index="${p}"]`)
if (!el) return false
el.click()
return true
}
goAndSumPage = p => {
page = goToPage(p)
if (page) return sumPage()
return false
}
delay = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms))
run = async (counter = 0, sum = 0) => {
result = goAndSumPage(counter++)
if (!result) return sum
sum += result
await delay(500)
return run(counter, sum)
}
run().then(n => `Total spent on Humble Bundle: $${n} (${(n / EUR_USD_FACTOR).toFixed(2).replace('.', ',')}€)`).then(console.log)
et voila
So a little over $2100 (in combination with direct spending on Steam). Assuming similar levels of spend on other platforms, and hardware, maybe I’m looking at around $8,000-$10,000 over the past 15 years, what I’d consider since the dawn of my post-college-disposable-income era. Let’s call it $10k, which is an average of roughly $666 a year, so there you go. Hail Satan, Prince of Backlogs.
Can’t say I didn’t wish I had about half of that back!

Holy shit.
Going to try to keep my number in perspective by reminding myself that I didn’t really have a console outside of the PC for like two generations.

If that is not a link to the generic one for your account and is accidentally one specifically for mine, I’ll fucking die.

Whew! You’ve got nothing to worry about with yours
I’m at ~500 bux since 2008.
is TotalSpend… not total? i thought TotalSpend encompassed OldSpend since it’s TotalSpend and not NewSpend. the description says
“TotalSpend” is the total amount of external funds applied to your account.
I think the total spend and old spend are pre and post 2015? Unless I misinterpreted in which case hey I spent 400 dollars less than I thought.
at least based on the text on that page, i think you spent 400 less than you thought
i can’t verify this, though
What will you do with this newfound windfall?

My plan is to use my actual and real new $35.93 on, at today’s astronomical tapioca rates, 4-5 fully-loaded boba teas.

Something equally regrettable I’m sure
