Not as much as you’d hope to earn, perhaps, but well, supply and demand. I do have 2015 (no, not a typo – I guess I’m going to exceed the current year in games this year) games in my Steam library right now, so it’s not like I’m -not- supporting indie games here. I am part of the long tail, and if you are a game developer, you will just have to deal. Even if they are three or more years old. So they may not be 2021 new releases, but many are “new” to me. Instead, I buy a shitton of games on sale and bundled, many of them indie, and play them at my own time, pace and choosing. I do not understand this “new release” phrase. Maybe I’d hit a healthy amount (obviously not 100, but maybe half, two thirds?) of indie games taste tested last year, without actually trying? Enough to say, hey, not really trying for the challenge here, but I do play a healthy amount of indie games, so there?!Ĭaveat: There is this following deviation from the challenge. Instead, I thought, why don’t I actually try to figure out which of the games I played last year were “indie” and count how many of them are there? Mostly because it’ll take too long for me to write and no one will read it in the end. We won’t be talking any impressions of the games I played on this post. Till now.īecause Krikket’s challenge has suddenly provided the perfect format and sufficient impetus to beat the list of games and played time durations from ManicTime into submission, and get them in some semblance of order. I was procrastinating on blogging so badly that my 2021 retrospective got put off since the beginning of the year. Plus some miscellaneous tapas game trials on the side. The current Jan 2022 obsessions are Minecraft: Oceanblock and Dark Souls Remastered on Switch, with a hopeful soon(TM) side of Monster Hunter because I suddenly am craving to hit things with a longsword/katana. And Netflix (Arcane, whee!) And Amazon Prime (The Legend of Vox Machina!) And still hooked on the Wandering Inn (so much for me thinking LitRPG was weird.) And watching all the Youtube videos (Cats! Food! Coffee! Games!). The good news is that I have been playing games. Leak identification would take a lot more work and time that we’re not up for right now, so that’s a “later” plan.īad news is, I’m really out of the blogging habit, so I’m unlikely to post as frequently either. Speaking of which, the personal update is that the air conditioner is temporarily fixed – in that the repair people pumped it full of coolant, and it’s anybody’s guess as to when it will run out. ![]() Gee, kinda sounds like blogging, doesn’t it? Or any kind of creative act, really. Why not do it for them? Since you wanted to make it for yourself to begin with, I’m presuming. Possibly not as many as you expected, but some will. ![]() Just to prove that not everybody is like how they think the world is. With absolute certainty need to be shown up. If you tried, you would surrender in despair within a month. A yearly commitment seems bonkers.īut hey, if someone else can do it, hurrah! Because downer people who say things like: Me, I can’t even keep a monthly habit or completion project going before my “oooh shiny” ways will have me meandering off to something else. That’s trying a new game every 3-4 days for 365 days. Terrifying in terms of time and monetary consumption. That’s a “mere” 100 games a year, says Krikket.Įesh, says I. We’re challenged to go and try 1% of 10,000 new indie games in a year. Krikket’s got a cool challenge up on her blog recently, fueled by a grumpy bitter tweet about too much damn content on the interwebs (aka too many indie games on Steam.)
