This also extends to:

You don't need to get to a Steam "backlog" just because it is there. Just play games you enjoy and ignore the rest.

If you're partway through a game and it doesn't feel fun anymore then just abandon it.

If an old game is going to be fun to replay, then there's no rule to say you have to pick something new. Play the old game for the thousandth time and enjoy. I'm playing Ballionaire like a maniac while my wife judges me for continuing to ignore Expedition 33.

If you enjoy doing dumb shit in a game then it doesn't matter what the optimal play is, just do the dumb shit you enjoy. We all loved finding ways to kill sims.

or modify it to your style of play.

I use cheats all the fuckin time lol
