Developed - games I made for work and need fast access to for debugging and testing.
George’s Games - which is my kid’s games that is a dynamic category of full controller support, cooperative, local co-op. More George’s Games - which again for my kid is a dynamic category of partial controller support with local co-op.
PlayThese - Games I recently bought and I am lying to myself I have time. Only has 4 games in it, most recent purchases end up in uncategorized anyways. These are just 4 immersive sims I bought in the holiday sale in 2022.
Uncategorized - 952 games.
How do I manage all of this? Well, honestly I just hit the little “ready to play games” button which only shows installed or streamable games. If it’s not installed, I don’t really care about seeing it. If I want to install something then I know exactly what it is. Although multiple times a friend will be talking about a game I should play. I’ll be waffling going “I don’t really need to buy another game.” Then I will check the Steam store page and it will say I already own it. I don’t know how, most of the time I’ve gotten a key from somewhere and it’s not something I actively bought.
So really the categorization system is “is it installed?” and if it is, it’s important.
Is the Irish Sun owned by the same guys as the British version of The Sun? If so, I probably would look for other sources entirely. Preferably far, far away from the “games journalism” sphere.
Not only is it owned by the same guys, it is the same paper with a few stories and photos changed to tone down British chauvinism and make it not immediately horrifying to an Irish person to read.
I used to categorize manually, finished games going into beaten-replayable, beaten-100%, beaten-done playing, open-done with, etc.
Dynamic Libraries are helpful for sorting, but not a replacement for manual categories. A major down side of the dynamic library feature is thst it relies on the game page to be accurate to the games feature set. Often there are games that get a tag or feature thst is just false. This does not a good tool make.
I did that. I just make whatever categories make sense to me. All of the Star Wars games are in a category, all Valve games are in one as well. And so on.
