It's that time of the week to take a long, hard look at that ever-growing pile of shame and hold yourself accountable. Whether you smashed through something this weekend or added three more games you'll "definitely get to eventually" — this is your space.

Some prompts to get you started:

What did you actually finish recently? Big or small, a completion is a completion. Take the win.
What's next on the list? Committing to something publicly makes it real. Probably.
How bad is the damage? Steam library at 400 games with 12% average playtime? We don't judge. Much.
Any impulse buys you're not sure about? The sub might talk you into — or out of — starting it.
The graveyard — what have you quietly abandoned and made peace with never finishing?

Drop your backlog confessions below and let's suffer together. Maybe this is the week we actually make a dent. 🫡

I was sat waiting for my game to load when I noticed the lights on the letters flickering, but the only ones that didn't spelt LIE. I can't belive I've had this game for years and only just noticed it.

🔎 Accuracy In GTA III you can hear the saws going inside the sawmill from the outside. You can only hear them if you're right next to the building, louder on top of the building.

🥚 Easter egg [Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain] The Metal Gear franchise has always been full of very detailed mechanics and behavior. But my favorite is always the joke details. Like here, you can see a caution sign, and if you stand under it for a second, a box falls on your head.

🔎 Accuracy In Ghost Recon: Wildlands / Future Solider, the optical camouflage uses LEDs so it is slightly brighter than the surrounding environment. If you think that makes it easy to spot, I challenge you to try finding them in the second photo.
