programming, games, yet-another-list
today I entered all* of the games I own into a database, with various details about them, so I can sort them by when they were released or when I bought them or by name or whether I've played them.
*only including PC games, and not including the games I have on disc (all of those were left at my parents' home, so I'd have to go get them to know what they are)

gods I'm so boring... instead of playing games, I'm sitting here making lists

eventually I'm going to use this list for Avery Plays Averything, the Lets Play series I want to start where I play through every game I own.
I had thought that maybe I should play them in order of release, but that means I'd be starting the show with 4 games I don't particularly care for, so it would probably be horrible.

But what I'm going to do is: The first game I play will be Portal, and then every game after that will be random, with the constraint that each subsequent game must have been released at least 5 years before or 5 years after the game I just played.

@wobin How so?
If I play a game from 2003, then the next randomly chosen game could be in 2018 (the most recent game I own), or in 1990 (the oldest game I own)

@lizardsquid This could edge you away from the two ends of publication history....
