I started a Steam Deck backlog challenge despite having the free time of a Victorian chimney sweep

Promotional

So I’ve got 1000+ games in my Steam library and decided, in a moment of absolute delusion, that I’m going to try and actually play them.

Problem is… I’m a full-time worker, parent, permanently tired, and most of my gaming happens half-asleep on the sofa with the Steam Deck slowly cooking my legs.

I’ve started making short videos around the challenge because apparently I hate free time even more than unfinished games.

Fair warning: the editing is probably a bit rough at the minute. I barely get enough time to play the games, never mind learn proper video editing. But I’m hoping the videos improve over time instead of looking like they were assembled during a medical emergency.

Anyway, if any fellow Deck goblins fancy checking it out, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Links are:

@backlog.exe on TikTok

I’m just testing all 3 to see where the content sits best at the minute.

Also open to recommendations for short/weird/hidden gem Steam Deck games because at this rate I’ll finish my backlog sometime around 2087.
