Somewhere in the middle of copying over the games from my personal list to the Hall of Games I realized a few things.
For one, it strikes me as barbaric to keep a copy of a single thing in two places, where both of those places have to be manually updated. I considered if automatic updating was a possibility, but no sane solution struck me.
Secondly, formatting this stuff with HTML and CSS in the equivalent of a Notepad text editor is torture. The process of adding a single game, or, heavens forbid, a whole new category, is way too much overhead, not to mention the previous point of having to do this in two places separately.
As such, I've decided to remove the half-finished Hall of Games and All Games pages from this blog and instead remove any personal information from my personal lists which I update anyways and link to those. They're not as pretty, but it also has some other tabs you may or may not care about, such as most of my backlog.
This is definitely not an equivalent alternative, but rather a compromise. However, due to the two points listed above, I decided it's really not worth my time to keep a duplicate which is also a pain to update. Still, this should no doubt be a better alternative to not having any list at all.
I am now just missing short descriptions from all the games on the list, but I guess I can add them at a later point in time, when I feel like writing a bunch. But I've reached this milestone, so I feel comfortable playing something new at long last. It's July, and it's about damn time for that.
In any case, speaking of my backlog:
- Games in backlog: 282 (+2)
- of which VR: 19
- of which Visual Novels: 47
- of which Early Access: 61
- Games reviewed last week: 0
