I love how slow Wikipedia moves during controversy. For YEARS after the "GamerGate" harassment campaign, editors refused to give up the URL of the *original* meaning of the word: A gamergate is a kind of ant.

This calls for an Even Bigger Spreadsheet.
I need to get back to tracking games I play/finish.
My downfall was adding a “backlog” column that increasingly expanded and demoralized. Even though it was a good way to track upcoming games I want to play without scrolling through my Steam wishlist. Maybe I need to hide that info from myself. 🤔
