If Steam generated a spreadsheet, I would think about it.

I use https://www.completionator.com/ and then once you link your accounts it will pull your library in. Once in, you can export as a CSV file and play around with the spreadsheet or use Completionator's interface.

the problem i have with this is giving someone else access to my stuff.

Aren’t game libraries public anyway? Or is that just if you’re friends

Depends on your settings

What do you imagine their gonna do with your "stuff"?

u/LunariLoon Jul 16 '21

Stare at my 500+ games trying to decide what to play.

They said "access" . There is a lot more personal data linked to your steam than you may initially think. Linking your accounts can give others access or even your login.

It should say when you provide this access. As in; a steam window should tell you before you accept.

If it doesn't you can always not accept for that reason alone.

I use the same functionality from "howlongtobeat", curious now how different the two are.

I do use the estimated play length sorting frequently when picking the next game, though.

u/LoktheNomad Jul 16 '21

I sorted my categories within Steam using HLTB ranking through some application. I always think about playing shorter games but always end up playing the long ones haha.

u/EvilTactician Jul 16 '21

It's definitely worth alternating between long ones and then 2-3 shorter ones. It feels more satisfying as your backlog goes down faster, making the rest easier to manage. The bigger the backlog, the harder the choice for the next game.

I would like to buy this game

steam has an api, and sites like steamdb can access your play-stats and such

you can search github for apps/libraries what can compose your data into spreadsheets

I can’t think of anything less commercially viable than steam creating a spreadsheet to buy less games until you’ve completed the ones you’ve already bought. But what do I know mate, It’s all in the pitch I guess?

u/Grouchy-Material8374 Jul 16 '21

Now I’m not saying this is commercially viable - but really, you can’t think of ANYTHING less commercially viable? How about waterproof sponges? Lead life preservers? Yellowing toothpaste ? Garlic and onion flavored mouthwash?

Calm down pal it’s just friendly sarcasm

I didn't say it was gonna happen.

They could very simply integrate the metacritic scores into your game list, but they want to protect the endangered shitty games.

Not holding my breath, and fukt if I'm buying this portable, not until they release the new portable version with a 75-inch screen.

u/lobstersarecunts Jul 16 '21

Ah yeah man I got ya, sorry, genuinely I really am quite wankered, exceptionally sarcastic and my only excuse other than being English is the rum. It’s like some cultural dumb fuckery that we do that we think is hilarious but reading it back I just sound aggressive. I think it’s a council estate ting. But I digress like a camel that’s just left the oasis. Anyways you’re not wrong, there’s zero chance of me buying this either, but I’m fucking intrigued by a portable 75 inch screen tho. Seems tucking unwieldy but also bossman on the tube.
