I'll take a look at my games and come back later to add which ones I'll play for this month.

Thank you for organizing this 💜

Here I go, I will start by playing The Last Door - Collector's Edition.

Happy gaming you all!

Besides, Murdered: Soul Suspect was added to my participation list of May 2020 by a mistake - fixed, it turned out I can delete it myself.

Old comment: Another month, more games in my sights! Before I pick my games, I have question for anyone who has completed Prey previously. I'm kinda itching to play that one (since I have it installed and everything) but I'm unsure if it would count for the event. I don't think it would count under remake because of how different it ended up being from the older game, and it has none of the tags needed. BUT I think it could fit under 'Multiple endings' since there are some, but I'm not 100% sure since I can't really google it due to spoilers. So basically my question is if Prey fits that sub category or not? :D

I start this month slow for now, i have some work.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

• Games in which the ID has two identical consecutive digits (Does three counts? 555610)
• Games from a game series (Gunmetal Arcadia series)
• Games split in levels/episodes/missions/periods ("Fight your way through six stages jam-packed with baddies and bosses")

"Games added to old PAGYWOSG events which are not beaten yet" Goodness, Strife is laughing its ass off right now...
Regardless, I'll mostly start with Carmaggeddon Max Damage. Then it'll be up to my time and/or motivation to add one of the 3 games I didn't manage to beat in a former event.
EDIT: I actually managed to beat Carmageddon quickly. Time to dust off Strife.

I'm going to try and finish SHENZHEN I/O (Games added to old PAGYWOSG events which are not beaten yet).
I played it in April and was about halfway through, but then life happened, I needed some relaxation and ended up mostly playing Just Cause 2 instead ^^

I will play Serial Cleaner, it's a game split in missions-contracts.

Rooms: The Main Building (2 identical digits -> id 304500)

Club Life — proof in the achievements guide

I'd like to try finishing Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride (game is part of a series).

I had wanted to submit this game last month, and told myself that I wouldn't unless I actually finished it -- mostly because I was getting stressed out in previous months committing to finishing a game and then rushing / forcing myself to play rather than just enjoying the game. And a few times I committed to playing games that turned out to be terrible, and remember forcing myself to finish it anyway because I wrote that I would do it -- even when it was painful and very un-enjoyable. I'm starting to get the impression I need to stop stressing about this so much, and just enjoy myself. :)

Last edit: June 6.

Excuse me. I finished The Walking Dead for this month's event, but when I tried to add it to the page, it didn't show up. And if I tried to directly copy the link of the Steamstore, it would redirect to The Walking Dead: Saint & Sinners.
EDIT: I tried with the appid only and I think it worked.

Space Fuss - Game tagged as Time Manipulation - 0/21 Achievements

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero - Game ID has two identical consecutive digits "555610" - 0/11 Achievements

aMAZE Gears - Game in a series - 0/150 Achievements

I'm gonna play Distance this month

https://steamcommunity.com/app/233610/

Mouse requested me to comment, so here i am.

I finished Vertical Drop Heroes HD. I started playing on May 31, after i saw the event. So i believe it shouldn't have any stat before the event but site showed incorrectly.

Ellipsis: Gameplay takes place on screen-sized levels, chosen from an overworld map.
Among the Sleep: Beat just a few hours into July, so I'm carrying it over to the next event.

This was a fun one to teach to my spreadsheet. It turns out that only three of my wins don't qualify this month! (Aside from the ones I've actually beaten, of course.)

Beaten:
Enigmatis 2 - game in a series

Last month I wrote lots of games but finished only one of them sadly :/
This month I'll start one by one. For now let's just start with:

• Call of Duty WWII (Games from a game series)

Hello Samwise,

This time I wish to finish the games from the previous events and they will be following:
Her Story
Oxenfree
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

I would like to enter with aMaze Classic and aMaze Gears.
After those are finished I might add some more.

I will try Gloom, with the Perma-Death tag.

Swordbreaker The Game ( Games in which the ID has two identical consecutive digits )
https://store.steampowered.com/app/411760/Swordbreaker_The_Game/

Thanks for the event.

I played

Next Hero: Multiple Endings

HellBlade : Senua's sacrifice: games with special characters

Without Within 2 : Game from a Game series

"Sniper: Ghost Warrior" from Sniper: Ghost Warrior Trilogy
game from series

Kind of fell down a rabbit hole with Nier Automata last month - over 100 hours and still not done. But looking at steam reviews, seems I'm not the only one this happens to. I'd like to finish it for this month's event if that's okay - but I'm not sure how to split out the hours for that.

I'm going to replay these ones from last month. Nice theme, I'll be able to clear some of my unfinished Pagywosg games. Thanks for hosting another event, Sam and Mouse 😃 (in the background).

World's Dawn - May Pagywosg

Subterrain - May Pagywosg

Underhero - May Pagywosg

I think I'll try out Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut!

I posted this one on the website and beat it!
Entry #237 LEGO Marvel's Avengers - 28/70 achievements, 11.5 hours

For contact purposes, yet I believe the submissions on the portal should be fine

I played Goats on a Bridge! I was certainly doing a lot of dying.

I wanted something short and sweet, so I could turn my attention to playing and sorting through the insane amount of cool games the Itch bundle for racial equality has.

I had intended to take a break this month considering I'm starting to run low on short wins that I know I could beat in time for the event, but it turns out the game I planned to play this month was also a win.

Yakuza 0 beaten for the 2nd time, this time for the Legend Mode achievement [Stuff of Legend]. Adding as Game from a series.

Hi Sam, thank you for hosting this event. I'm sure it's really tiring. You and Mouse try hard and I appreciate it. I try to join every month :)

I just have a question. Yesterday I added a new game to play on pagywosg. It's Book of Demons. I started the game yesterday but it looks like I've made some stats before the start of the event. That is actually wrong. Can we please fix it? I mean I added the game and a couple of hours later, I started. Perhaps I should have waited until the game is approved. If this is the rule, it's fine. I'm just asking because I don't know how it works. Here is my stats for Book of Demons, you can see that I started it yesterday.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Neoverse - it, by design, embodies the words: Live, Die, Repeat, but let's go with "games split in missions" since each run through the game is split into multiple "missions" you try to complete as you fight your way through.

Hey Sam! This month Im going with Blade Kitten (appid 9940).
And since Im not using the site, Im gonna leave a comment again once Im done with it, as usual. o/

Well. System Shock Enhanced Edition. Yes.

Hi, I'll be playing this SG win if that's ok:

A New Beginning - Final Cut

I think it should fall under these rules:

Games in which the ID has two identical consecutive digits (e. g. 633950)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/105000/A_New_Beginning__Final_Cut/ (it has at least 2 identical consecutive digits)

or if that's not ok, this rule:

Games with special characters in the title**

The "-" falls under this rule I believe.

Animalia - The Quiz Game as a game with special characters in the title.

Full Throttle Remastered - Remastered versions / Remakes - Completed
I've been trying to get to this game since February, but every month something would interfere and then the next one would still have an appropriate category. Come to think of it, July is going to have one too, but enough is enough :)

Paradigm - Games in which the ID has two identical consecutive digits

I've beaten the devil's daughter in the choices matter game, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter for this month. It's a start XD

Mouse's fav. National Days

• games with the following tags: Simulation, Building, Management, Sandbox, Family Friendly, Economy, Colorful, Open World
• games with at least two 3s or two 4s in the appID (e.g. Planet Coaster is 493340)
• games won in April (because mouse won Planet Coaster in April)
• games with cookies*
• games with female protagonist/villain/antagonist**
• games with cats***
• very old wins - aka games you procrastinated playing for a long time - aka 20 oldest unplayed/not yet beaten wins****

* because there is a national chocolate chip cookie day in August and mouse likes them, but to be honest, who does not like cookies
** because national women's day is in August and well mouse is female
*** because there is the International Cats Day and well even though mouse should be afraid of them, I mean after all she is a mouse, she usually goes awww a cute cat
**** because there is the National Lazy Day in August

Short explanation for the theme: Well Mouse is playing/streaming Planet Coaster at the moment so the first few subthemes are about that.
Then when thinking what else to put in there I looked up the National Days of August and found out there is actually a National Rollercoaster Day in August. So then I went through the list and found some things that mouse actually likes

Happy Cakeday Virgo

• Games with cakes, balloons
• Party games
• Games where you can dance, sing
• Games where you can stargaze
• Games where you clean or tidy up things
• Logical / puzzle games
• Games with perfectionist / completionist achievement
• Games playing in France
• Farming games

Don't remember if these have already been suggested before.. anyway..
Both themes are orginated from the Ferragosto italian holiday.
The first is due to the association with the first part of the word part ferr- with iron (ferro means iron in italian), even though "ferr" has nothing to do with iron :v yes, agosto is august
The second is a pun I made time ago (which I forgot but the word got stuck in my mind) which involved mouse instead of iron.
I know I haven't provided many categories to choose from, but they should be pretty wide.. just, I wanted to share them, for once that I got ideas for a theme (don't even remember if I already suggested 'em in the past.. sorry if that's the case, too lazy to check) =P

Iron

• Games with iron in their name Tekken (iron fist) and Fe (chemical symbol of iron) could be valid entries
• Games with 26 (iron atomic number) in their appid
• Games where iron is involved (industries, blacksmiths, mining..)
  • Special mention for games with trains, since "railroad" is ferrovia in italian (which, as you can see, has iron in its name)
• Games with metal soundtracks and/or other metal components (characters, events etc.)

Mouses

• Games with mouse(s)
• Games with beer (definitely not a tribute) =P
• Games released in one year of the rat
• Games won in one year of the rat

EDIT: Well, seems mouses are kind of a popular suggestions.. well, I'm not gonna delete it =P

Take care of yourself, Mouse. I am very familiar with "burnout," and it is not something with which you want to tangle. Take a break (or more than one) before it gets to that point. That way, you can always go on extended hiatus without hating the thing you are leaving.

And like NoSenses suggested, let some of those wanting to help you shoulder part of the burden. Nothing facilitates "burnout" like trying to do everything yourself.

Take care of yourself :)

As it is my theme I'll try to answer as many of the "does this game fit" questions as possible :)

And just my personal opinion:

The site was intended as a relief and time saver. But if you still have to compare everything with here and always have to check whether someone might have forgotten to add something, then that is still too much effort.

Therefore only what was entered on the page should count. So if someone misses the point to update their data, then that's the way it is. If I don't update my stuff at BLAEO, nobody does it for me too.

Add some moderator status to the site which can confirm entries but not play statuses, then some of us can do this part of the job. ;)

I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you have done and are doing.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c7/3a/50/c73a5090bdf1861846fb44ea8eccb5c5.jpg

Thank you for your job and all your efforts that you put in the event. And I hope you'll get better soon with or without the event

Thank you for your hard job on many levels, it's very very much appreciated! :3

Take care of yourself and don't let it take you down! Would be shame to see this event go as I enjoy it very much, I am still newbie in this, but if I can I will help anytime!

For now I am at least cheering for both of our girls! :D

View attached image.

Please take care of yourself! Thank you so much for creating this event 🤗

Thank you for all your work, you kept the threads running for a really long time so you definitely deserve a good retirement. ^^

This is all for fun at the end of the day, so if you find yourself not enjoying the event and burnt out that's no good either. Glad you realised that and took a much needed step back. Thanks for hosting as many months as you did, you've put in an insane amount of time and effort with it and a lot of us recognise that. :) Enjoy the time away, lots of games to play and so little time!

Take care, Mouse! You've really gone above and beyond to help participants of the event and make the event work month in and month out. I, and I'm sure everyone else here, truly can't thank you enough for keeping the event going on as long as it did despite the many hassles that come with it.

I'm also glad that you've decided not to shut down the event and instead, handed the reins over to Samwise as you take a step back. The event has come a long way and it would be really sad if it was to go away.

Thank you again!

I'm really glad that you with Samwise found balance! I hope this will work out and both of you will be sane and happy and with enough free time to play games. If you ever need a third wheel (like for tedious outsource job or smth) — I'm (and not only me, I'm sure) will be happy to help :)
