drealmer7: Yep, so, hopefully that makes some sense to you. My goal is to eventually have thoroughly gone through and order them in my projected "order to play+finish by genre by tag order but subject to change on my whims."
I currently have ~50 games tagged as PLAYING.
MarkoH01: Wow! This explained my question and several other I've never asked ....ready a thread about how people do sort and play their games...there probably is.
Sorry, adaliabooks for once again derailing your thread (the last time being the quite interesting language lesson with mrkgnao). :)
Here, have a little more:
Well first, the ordering is by no means strict or solid in anyway, especially considering 1.) the GOG tag ordering didn't allow for organizing within tags and so they are all hap-hazard right now for me for the most part since I just have had AF for the past week or somesuch and have barely used it so far/am quite unfamiliar, and 2.) it's just either what is actually currently taking place in my play choices (as in the order is dictated by what I'm playing, NOT what I am playing is dictated by the list order), and 3.) it just makes sense with so many games (especially when acquiring "new" ones) to leave it fluid for me and play what compels me. The only issue becomes if I can't remember the story/what I was doing and feel like I might be losing some of the experience/impact or just not be able to follow/do the game justice because of not having picked up a game for some time, and so I try to not allow that to happen, I have a pretty good memory so it doesn't usually happen. which also goes along with/compiles with what you said when you get something new/something you've be wanting to try, etc., and I let that happen too, and if it seems I am going to play it more than half-way through, it goes into the PLAYING list most likely. and now ordering helps place it in order of projected finishing, etc.
2nd:
I also have a couple different shelves in PLAYING for "long-time/forever/perhaps random play games." These are 1.) games that I just don't think I might ever delete because of what the game has to offer like Tales of Maj'Eyal or Mount & Blade + M&B: Warband and FTL (though I imagine I'll eventually beat it a few times with a few different ships and be "done" with it, but I don't think I'd ever uninstall it even so because of the unlockings and still having that compelation to play might come and it will be good to have around for a long long time), and then there are games like 2.) flight/combat sims that might never get old to fly around and blow stuff up in (I'76 will probably never get uninstalled for me.) and racing games that I do or even might get compelled to play here or there at times and then stuff like 3.) Pinball games!
I still have a LONG way to go before any sort of order is to my list at this point though because of the transition. Blarghle! I'll do it in little chunks over time and not worry about it too much and it will eventually take form, no need to dedicate toooo much too it because of the overwhelming side of it, but it is something I like to be able to do as a function and so will work with it and it has its rewards and am pumped for being able to, obviously.
