They’re in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
I just use dynamic collections, eg. group games by their store-tags, eg. arpg, fps, puzzle, walking-sim, online-coop… etc, whatever I consider handy when going through all of it.
Sure, the categories have a lot of overlap, but I don’t mind, the games list is a disaster anyway (>1300 games on account… yea.).
I used to maintain my own categories, but at some point the number of games started to be too much to do it by hand.
edit: One of the better features is to group games with online-coop with friends who have it too. Makes it a lot easier to find the next adventure to start after few beers.
This is how I go about it, too. I also use the favourites feature to self-curate games to reduce choice anxiety when I want to play something.
Whenever I buy a game, it gets favourited, whenever I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited.
If I play some game a lot or feel like playing some game when I have time, I favourite it.
This way anytime I want to play, I have a short list of games to consider, instead of trying to look through my whole library.

“Uncategorized (250)” sums it up pretty well
Haha! I’m not the only one with categories that are just “friends name”
“Welcome to the British Museum Collection of Egyptian Antiquities… My name’s Craig…”
mine would go something like:
stuff i play: 1
stuff i used to play: 3
stuff i got just because it was cheap: 983785789567Friendly reminder that “backlogs“ are prisons of your own making. There is no moral imperative to play or complete every game you buy!
I think you’ll find my naming scheme perfectly cromulent.
come on! Lindsay 'em up!
that is so my wife can find the games she likes and I am trying to make it as easy as possible for her without my nonsense
Gotta get you some City Build 'Em Ups.
they’d be under God 'Em Ups (currently Command and Conquer, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Civilization games, Worms, Theme Hospital etc)
But if you don’t build 'em up, how can you knock 'em down?
I kinda figured that’s what was in there, but the pun was right there and I couldn’t resist.
I just wonder how Lindsey compares to Craig.
#Naming Scheme 'Em Ups
I have mine set up with a bunch of categories that are sorted with a prepended 3-digit number. Allows me to have different sections of category without it getting mixed up. ex:
010 S 011 A+ 012 A 013 A- 014 B+ etc... 350 plz play soon 355 wont play ... 800 dont remember buying this
I need me a Craig.
I’d play games with you as time permits.
We’re around
