Hit 200 games on my backlog spreadsheet and it felt weirdly like a personal record

Realized I've logged 200 titles at under $5 each since January 2023, which means my average cost per hour of entertainment is like 12 cents, and honestly that beats every subscription service I've ever paid for, so what's the most anyone here has racked up in their own tracker?

That 12 cents an hour number is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The real cost is the 400 hours you spent staring at a screen instead of doing literally anything else, and that time isn't free. I filled a similar spreadsheet last year and realized I was just collecting cheap dopamine, not actually enjoying most of the games. My subscription costs more per hour, but at least I actually finish stuff and feel something about it, so maybe you're just counting the wrong metric.
