A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

My patient gaming life has changed since I decided to write stuff down as a hobby.

For me I did it as a blog instead of a private log, which I found really helped. Cosplaying as a games journalist, you have to finish the review so you either complete it or you might look up a let's play or walkthrough to get what you need.

That's the key for me, some of them I've been bouncing off or just thinking about playing since the NES days and because I didn't finish them they always stay on the list. But I've finally mentally put them to bed!

I highly recommend it to anyone with a backlog, especially if you are in the market for a new hobby, 2 birds with 1 stone!

For sure that is another killer, halfway through but completely forgot what was going on in the game. Give up or start again?
