1 year agoWhenever I hear of a game I might like, or buy one on a whim I add it to a list. I do something similar with books and movies. The purpose of the lists aren’t to put pressure on myself, but to remind myself of all the things I’m interested in and to avoid the feeling of “I have nothing to play/read/watch”. If I’m not enjoying something, I just won’t finish it and I check it off the list so I know I tried. For me, deciding what to do with my limited time can give me analysis paralysis. I don’t see the list and backlog as a chore, but more of an easy menu of options that I’ve already considered.
The funny thing is that I used to have YouTube premium bundled with Google play music, but I had to cancel after they killed it. YouTube music was just a terrible experience coming after GPM (lost a lot of songs in transfer, unable to play only liked songs by certain artists, uploaded music locked in jail and unable to be mixed into playlists, etc…). I felt like I had to voice my complaint by canceling YouTube music, which I could only do by getting rid of YouTube premium as well. How else do you protest a product that got bundled onto something else you already used? Anyway, I would buy a cheaper premium tier if it didn’t include useless YouTube music.
