    My numbers are - unsurprisingly - not too different than last year;
    roughly the same number of games, same achievements, same everything.
    Some things stuck out: November was the month I played the most Steam
    games (July was second place), and I play a heck of a lot more games
    than the average player.

    Steam also seems to think I've played a lot of games with a controller
    for some reason. I guess if I have a controller plugged in (or maybe
    the device occasionally gets joggled?) it automatically counts that
    entire session as 'using a controller'. That inaccuracy annoys me a
    lot more than it probably should. ;-)

    Anyway, a fun way to recap (some) of the time you've spent playing
    video games this year. Take a look and see if it sparks any
    interesting memories or thoughts.


    28 games
    17 new games
    151 achievements
    80% controller/20% Keyboard
    60% Elden Ring, 521 sessions
    7% new releases
    March was my highest, Aug I played nothing on Steam

    My next most played games were
    #2 Void Scrappers
    #3 Dark Souls II
    #4 Dark Souls

    Interesting, looks like I've deprecated Steam in 2023. My biggest month
    was January with "Deliver us the Moon". "Portal with RTX" shows up in
    July.

    I guess my biggest time sinks this year were my GTA replays (the shiny "Definitive Edition") and the System Shock Remake. GTA was on Epic and
    System Shock on GoG so apparently that didn't leave much for Steam.

    Yeah no games in August for me Steam - I played
    Witcher 3
    Baldur's Gate 3
    Nova Drift

    ...all on GOG.

    I don't appear to have much this month either, I've been mostly playing Bloodborne on PS+ Premium. Which is looking like a mistake as my data
    usage has gone through the roof nearing 1.2 TB and my wife is getting
    overage warnings. We're trying to upgrade for another $10 a month
    instead of paying $10 for every 50gb, but having trouble getting it to
    work from the website. I do a lot of remote assistance for work, so I'm
    sure that's not helping either.

    I'm laying off the Bloodborne for now, I was actually starting to get
    bored of it anyway. There's very little weapon variety and no spells,
    so I don't really have much in experimentation to do with fights which
    is my favorite thing. I thought I was about halfway, but looked at some
    guides and I'm only up to installment 16 of 46!
