Man I really wanted to play and finish Pathologic 2 before GotY votes but I don't think I'm actually in the mood for this game right now. It seems absolutely fascinating from the 2-3 hours I played (and something that could land on that list) but my brain/body is itching for something else.
Eh sorry to toot my own horn but I've settled on just going by release year. It isn't something I would recommend for everyone and cannot guarantee it'll work likewise.
For example here is a sample of what I've got planned for the next couple of months
Fiddling with the steam collection options to create a category based on a genre or such can help in clearing the backlog. Furthermore, shorter games are a good starting point since you can finish them quick and then delete them.
I've filled up 2x1TB SSD hard drives with games ready to play. I like having games ready to go, a nice selection to choose from. Otherwise digital is a massive drawback.
I have a list of "to-dl" for games to play next as well.
It sucks that if you just copy the game folder from one drive to the other, it doesn't work. You have to do it inside steam and it takes ages.

I used to have many that I did not play before. Since I got my new PC with more expensive and limited storage I have been rather good at finishing and uninstalling old games before moving on to new ones. Lately I have gone back to some infinitely replayable games such as FTL, Slay the Spire and Tetris Effect though, so they will probably stay indefinitely. RDR2 will take a while as well. I also got the ambition to play the Metro games so started 2033 Redux but it has not captivated me so far.
I just finished Yoku's Island Express which I got from Amazon Prime a while ago. What an ingenious and charming indie game that is. Pinball + metroidvania, and it works. Main quests finished, now I think I'll try to wrap up 100% and finish off those map spots I haven't seen yet. Fast travel looks to be all unlocked so it shouldn't take too long.
Some EGS stats:

Another Witcher 3 question please.This time i cant find anything on the internet.
My PC is currently connected to a 4K(3840x2160p)Samsung TV and unless i set the game at 4096x2160p resolution from inside the game, the colours look so washed out.
At 4096x2610p and only at this resolution the colours are excellent and vibrant.At any other resolution(including the TV's) the colours look very washed out especially if you notice the grass and the water.
So what i do here?I tried the Radeon settings but nothing worked in there

Another day and still no Origin Access update. They used to announce around the 15th-17th before they started doing it earlier in the month, but there was still no rhyme or reason to it (like always the third Tuesday or something). But now it's been almost a month and a half since the last drop.
When I launch GTA5 my bluetooth headphones go silent after the like... first 10 seconds. IN fact, it goes silent on my entire PC until I close the game. No connection issues. I had this happen with another game, sea of thieves... fine til my character got logged in. But it was fixed, I forget how. Weird how this issue is popping up after 15 hours of no issues.
Well feel like sharing my GOTY picks:
Disco Elysium
Resident Evil 2
AI: The Somnium Files
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Vampire the Masquerade: Coteries of New York
And my GOTD pick is Prey (I'm not bothering with more than one pick it's too much effort =/)

Please tell me you mapped L/R rotation to Q & E if you're using WASD controls.
My GOTY picks:
Jedi: Fallen Order
RE2
Division 2
Slay the Spire
Remnant: From the Ashes
I wasn't able to play too many games this year, and these were the ones that stood out to me. I'm hoping to change that this year.

I would have thought the dev would have ironed out camera controller controls, given that Shadow Tactics got a console port.
I have Remnant on Game Pass, is really that hard?
I read terrible things about the difficulty, but I completed all the Souls games, Sekiro and Bloodborne, it's worse than those?
Remnant, Slay the Spire, Control, Three Houses, and Plague Tale are basically my big blind spots left from this year. And i felt like I did a good job keeping up!
Oh and Outer Wilds but I've been dragging my feet on it since I played the prototype way back when and know I'm gonna enjoy it whenever I get to it

I didn't think it was that hard. I'm awful at Souls games and didn't think Remnant was harder than those games.
All my free Origin and Xbox Pass time is going to waste since I'm just playing Pathfinder Kingmaker like a nut. It's like all the goodness of Baldur's Gate, with boring, poopy kingdom management on top. A regular loading screen and pop up window simulator. And it's still a great game.
Just got my email that my Index is getting ready to ship. Need to find something to ease me in to VR.
Arbitrary rules most certainly don't keep it from being my personal GOTY.
Did you get the controllers? The Lab experience and the Index Demo are quite good at it (even if the Index demo has a moment that triggered my vertigo). Otherwise you can ask in :

Fair enough. It definitely looks cool. I wish I had more time to dive into more management simulation games.
The Lab and Aperture Hand Labs are pretty much designed to ease people into VR, and they're free.
SUPERHOT VR, Beat Saber, and Moss are all classic VR games that should offer a comfortable VR experience. I haven't played SUPERHOT VR or Moss on the Index yet (just got mine on Saturday), but I've read they work well with the Index controllers. I've recently been playing a lot of Pistol Whip, which is a lot of fun, even if you completely ignore the rhythm elements, where it becomes an on-rails shooter.
Hot Dogs, Horse Shoes, and Hand Grenades has the most in-depth gun mechanics of any game I've seen, and it's a lot of fun to play around in if that interests you.
That's a better comment.
I wish we could skip a gen. If we ever find out that Nvidia has been holding back on us to milk customers slowly I'll never forgive them.
Hopefully they'll bring Index back to EU soon. Been almost 2 months out of stock (without ability to preorder even).
Could be interesting but I'm not into shopping malls myself.
Thanks for the heads-up, though!

Yeah I got the full set.
Definitely had an eye on Beat Saber, I'll check out Pistol Whip and Superhot. Thanks!
I'd be tempted; the games don't go on sale often. But I still haven't finished Ryza or Lulua so I'm thinking I should wait...
lol and then 3 posts later I said hey yeah they should
sorry for stealing your idea a month later!
I can't seem to find the newsfeed about a certain game on Steam anymore when i browsing my library. All i see is my activity and then community hub.. where have they moves this feature?
i forgot it but subconsciously filed it away for later i guess
Do you mean the 'news' tab for just a single game? It's so sporadically used by devs that it's useless IMO, but you can find it by going
Select game --> Community Hub (or if on a store page, View discussions)--> News Tab
The news tab lists developer updates as well as related news from certain news sites, I think.
