My categories are a mess right now. I add categories somewhat frequently and rarely remove them.

I've used the built-in Favorites category, but I rarely look at it because I typically just use the "sort by recent activity" view unless I want to see a specific type of game. Controller Support is a dynamic collections which is self-explanatory. I created a category for games I've played on Linux but it's not up-to-date. Neither, I think, are the Native Linux and Proton Whitelisted categories, to which I just add games whenever I notice that they have official Linux or Proton support. (The built-in "Show only games that run on Linux" button to the left of "Sort by recent activity" isn't helpful for finding these games, because if Steam Play is enabled for all games, this filter contains all games and is therefore useless.)

I created the Local Multiplayer and Local Two-Player categories manually, because the former can't be done as a dynamic collection without relying on store tags which do not always find 100% of the relevant games, and there's no store tag for the latter. Remote Play Together is a dynamic collection I can trust because it uses a built-in filter instead of a tag.

I created the 2020 category just to track games I've played this year. I didn't do this for previous years and I'm not sure if this one is up to date. The "Collections" category is for stuff like Atari Vault and SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics. Couch Gaming and Arcade-Style are just arbitrary categories to which I've barely added any games.

The next few categories are for tracking which games I've played and completed. These start with brackets, and all of the previously mentioned categories start with unicode emojis, to separate them alphabetically from all the categories which group games by series when applicable. I can't always rely on alphabetical order to keep games of the same series together, due to shit like "The Ultimate Doom" being filed under "U", etc.

Just get a shovel and start throwing shit around, it's what Steam does.

Favourites is only Halo atm, the other 5 games are in that category to remind me about them for later.
This One ATM is Alyx, XCOM2, OneShot, Cave Story, Yume Nikki and Deadly Premonition. Alyx is done I just wanna do the Gnome achievement, OneShot/Cave/Yume will hopefully be sorted by the end of the week.
Fat RPG is for longer games, I'm just leaving them for now, although with the isolation I might try to knock out one or two.
Uncategorised currently is for stuff I've gotten for free or things I'll get through quickly.

Overall, with steam I'm sitting at 379 out of 420 finished, so I'm pretty happy with that.

What's in Garfield user?

I just sort by recent

probably garfield kart 1 and 2

Completed
Uncompleted
Multiplayer Only

Behold.
The true patrician method.
Follow my example and truly you also will give as few of fucks about this shit as I.

just get rid of your never gonna play pile and put them into finished playing. Way less cluttered that way and since you're never gonna play them it makes no difference. Same goes for the Trash pile, and maybe the Adult - Finished pile but I can see why that'd be seperate. Also Demos? Unless it's the Stanly Parable Demo I'm not sure why you have that category?

why bother categorise by series when Steam has the search bar? Also i dunno if it works with the new ui but there are applications that make organising steam folders much easier.

I like this.

>graveyard
>esoteric
I want to know more. Also what's the difference between horny and literal porn?

how is GOG? I keep considering moving on to it for organising my games.

>bad card fodder
Just get idlemaster or whatever actually works similarly these days and burn through the pile so you can get rid of that category.

>all those status folders
make them a single folder exp unplayed
>all those local games
make them a single folder and get Parsec for those without remote play.

>Just get idlemaster or whatever actually works similarly these days and burn through the pile so you can get rid of that category
I did that yes. I don't want to remove them from my library entirely or anything like that, so I just shove them into their own little category. why wouldn't I want to be able to say "yes I DO in fact own Zombitatos the end of the Pc master race, thank you very much"

Yeah I'll do that...someday...

>>all those status folders

Not sure what you mean. I want to have the distinction between played and finished, and between finished and 100% complete.
>>all those local games
>make them a single folder and get Parsec for those without remote play.
I might get rid of the Remote Play Together dynamic collection, but I do want the separate category for two-player games specifically. These are the ones that only support two players, as opposed to three or more.
>how is GOG? I keep considering moving on to it for organising my games.
I'm not the guy who posted the GOG Galaxy screenshot, but last time I checked, Galaxy had fewer visual customization options than Playnite, and it annoyed me. The upside of Galaxy at the time was that it allowed importing uninstalled Uplay games, which Playnite couldn't do yet, but now Playnite does that too. I'm not sure which of these programs is winning in terms of features now. I've switched to Linux, and neither Galaxy nor Playnite support Linux, so I'm not using either of them.

Ahh fair enough, while I dont have 100 card fodders I was personally fine with having them in my finished pile.
>"yes I DO in fact own Zombitatos the end of the Pc master race, thank you very much"
I'm so glad I know this exists now, thank you.

do it today, you're probably stuck inside like everyone else.

>not having good genre sections that reflect your taste in games and makes it easy and painless to find games
I don't know what the fuck you people are doing, ever single example in this thread is just dreadful to look at.

Why do #1 and #3 end with an apostrophe?

Best way of doing it

Steam organizes it alphabetic order already and it has a search function.

looks good that way

-COMPLETE
-MULTIPLAYER
-NOT COMPLETE

To play (-) is meant for games I'm not really looking forward to but I still need to finish them

Need to clean up the shit I haven't organized yet. Steam deleted all my shit last year

>the distinction between played and finished, and between finished and 100% complete.
That's fair, personally if I get halfway through a game and I know I won't finish it I move it into the Finished folder and move on. Keeps things clean for me, I'm assuming that's what your "Played" folder is. As for 100%/Completed/Finished, it just seemed a bit semantical to me but if you like it that way then I can't tell you what to do, it's your folders.
>but I do want the separate category for two-player games specifically
also fair, I personally like fewer folders but given how many 2player local games you have I can see why making that distinction is important
>playnite
I'll have a look at that later today, I've been interested in getting something like Galaxy to see all my games at once but if it's potentially better that's cool.

now this is nice, but what's in Buyer's Remorse, Miscellaneous and Japanese?

based.

What's in the (-) folder? If you don't like playing them just uninstall and move on man.

This is why I didn't end up doing genre categories.

I organize mainly by achievements. Games can only go in "Complete" if all achievements are earned, or if simply beaten, if the game has none. They go in "Incompletable" if all achievements are earned except those which are literally not obtainable. "WINE Games" is a category just to keep track of games not officially supported in Linux.

Just stuff like this I bought mostly because they were cheap, they're in there because I don't expect much from them. I should probably move Hylics out of there, I heard it was actually pretty good.

>organize
Hah, good one

Outland was neat. I was enjoying Teslagrad too, but then I stopped playing it for no particular reason other than the fact that I also have hundreds of other indie games and I got distracted by one of them.

in my head, like a functional human being

I've definitely had a few favorites come from my (-) section so we'll see. I like to keep games I'm not expecting much from separate from the ones I'm really looking forward to or already know are really good.

By recent.

>how is GOG? I keep considering moving on to it for organising my games.
Galaxy is shit for organizing, it didn't even let you set launch options for games last time I checked.

I'm thinking of breaking up my "Unplayed" category in a similar way. It's too big, and games I wanted to play are lost among lots of indie games from bundles.

I don't. Every time I try to categorize things, it crashes like two minutes in. Fuck Steam.

How do you organize games in your piratebay folder?

alphabetically
