Final week we lastly wrapped up 2022, a chaotic yr by any metric. Since this week has been comparatively gradual (for me, as I didn’t attend CES), and within the curiosity of preserving issues lighthearted, let’s discuss what we’re going to do as avid gamers in 2023. I’ll begin — listed here are the issues I plan to do that yr to raised myself as a gamer and author.
First decision: I’ll try to work my manner by way of at the very least my 2022 backlog. In the event you learn my checklist final week, you recognize there are a number of 2022 titles I didn’t get the possibility to play. However final yr I additionally had pesky private issues to do like get married, which minimize down on potential recreation time. So this yr, let’s see if we are able to’t chisel off extra of that to lastly play The Mortuary Assistant. Okay, I’m joking, however significantly, I don’t like lacking main video games. It cuts down on my literacy as a video games author and provides me FOMO.
Second decision: I’m going to attempt to be a extra social gamer this yr. It’s time to lastly step from the pandemic hidey-hole. I shall try to publish extra about what I’m enjoying on social media and I’ll additionally attempt to stream. I shall additionally — shiver — try to play extra multiplayer titles. I like the gaming group. It’s how I met the opposite half of the aforementioned marriage. So I wish to quash my mortification and luxuriate in some gamer firm once more.
That’s all I’ve bought (at the very least so far as gaming goes), but when anybody else is making game-related resolutions, be at liberty to drop me a line on Twitter. Would possibly as effectively get began on the second decision straight away.
On a (extra) private notice, I’m already making some headway on constructing my video games checklist for 2023. I do know of at the very least one new recreation that launched on New Yr’s Day.

I don’t count on everybody to take pleasure in its fashion of gameplay, however it’s began my yr off on a very good notice up to now.
