Backlog

(last edited )

This page contains the ever-growing list of things I intend to try. Books, games, movies, anything goes. I try to keep it up-to-date.
Trivia: italics indicate what I’ll probably go through next or am currently on!
Reminder: None of these are endorsements or representative of who I am. Sometimes, it’s quite the opposite.

Table of contents

Books

There are endless amounts of books, and I’ll never read enough. Nevertheless, this list provides ideas for myself for what to read next whenever I finish a book.

Russian literature

The “this list doesn’t represent me” applies doubly so here, due to sensitivity of “politics” (whatever the word means these days). The bar for being here is as low as being mentioned in a discussion.

Games

I currently don’t have much time for these, but there are many I’m nonetheless interested in playing eventually. When I say many, I mean it. This section is long.

Narrative

The part I care most about in a game is the story, if there is one.

Puzzles!

Waiting…

Gameplay Containment Zone

These may very well be tons of fun, but they’re focused on gameplay and as such are discriminated against a bit. Such is life in glorious Drewstan.

Hmm?

These found their way into my Steam wishlist one way or the other. Maybe a mention in an article, maybe a recommend from a Steam friend. Maybe it was 1am and I was 5 obscure websites deep into the internets. Whatever’s the case, I simply don’t know enough about them to judge.

If you suggest a game to me, it may appear here! The plan is to slowly move these into other categories.

Movies, TV, Video

I think it’s safe to say I’m not a movie person at all. This list is a combination of popular movies with an interesting premise, ones recommended by friends and a couple I put off for years. Better late than never!
