Plus, I have a (relatively new) blog dedicated to introducing games to people, which encourages me to play through a variety of games in my library. It's basically just archiving my "Random Screenshots of my Games" posts in !games@lemmy.world.

And according to the SteamDB, I've played 26% of my games. The last time I checked, it was at 38%, but that was maybe 2,000 games ago. I need to keep working through my library!

Damn, 26% is not too shabby. Thats just a lot of money for most people, but i guess other people buy figurines that they never do anything with at all, so it could be worse i guess. Well i hope you enjoy playing them :)

If you somehow dont have Metro 2033 yet, you can still add it to your library for free today.

Video games and collecting Sonic the Hedgehog comics are my two expensive hobbies; I don't spend money on much else besides essentials (food, shelter), so I can afford to splurge a bit on these hobbies. I am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but the US military took really good care of me for 20 years and continues to provide for me in retirement, so I'm able to live a pretty relaxed life now.

I saw that it was free for 48 hours! I already have the whole Metro franchise, but I've informed my gaming friends about the deal this morning. Thanks for spreading the news!

One caveat to my Steam library is that I always try to wait for deals before I buy; I rarely buy anything at full price. I don't want to think about how much money I might've spent if I bought everything at full price! 😱

Sounds like fun hobbies :) Money is worthless after you die so might aswell spend it on something you enjoy i guess.
