My patient gaming life has changed since I decided to write stuff down as a hobby.
For me I did it as a blog instead of a private log, which I found really helped. Cosplaying as a games journalist, you have to finish the review so you either complete it or you might look up a let’s play or walkthrough to get what you need.
That’s the key for me, some of them I’ve been bouncing off or just thinking about playing since the NES days and because I didn’t finish them they always stay on the list. But I’ve finally mentally put them to bed!
I highly recommend it to anyone with a backlog, especially if you are in the market for a new hobby, 2 birds with 1 stone!
Writing down a short summary of what I did does sound like a good way to remember what I did in the game if I put it down for an extended time like a diary. Would be able to just read what I did to get back on track.
For sure that is another killer, halfway through but completely forgot what was going on in the game. Give up or start again?
