I fucked up, I missed one of the theme submissions and I can't edit the poll so we are gonna do it like this:
If you would like to vote for the Omne Trium Perfectum theme which consists of:
"3" in their app ID
Have 3 or any variation of the number in the game title
Gameplay involving a team of three playable characters
Games where you have to obtain exactly three of something
Games that can be completed in or around 3 hours
Third installment of any game series
Game trilogies
please reply to this comment with a "+1". Please be fair and do not vote on any of the poll ones if you decide to go for this one.
Also "99 Problems but this ain't one - both sumthemes from above together" should be "99 Problems but this ain't one - both subthemes from above together", today is not a good day for me :(

Difficult games
A game to play in February?
Speaking of which, there is no won for just one month.
┐(´Θ`)┌🎯 Oh, I hit the cold virus.😷
The new year's unsuccessful (fortune) was a delicate result of "Suekichi", so it was revised up later to "Daikichi", but it seems far from lucky.
Well, is it a game to play ...?
Unless I win today after this, will I reach out to the "pod"?

No cheat, no injustice.
I attached it if I wanted to watch it because I recorded it.

i love the fact that you put sexual content for all except beach bounce. that couldve been the same and idk about night furries but those could also be relationships
Comment has been collapsed.
Well Beach Bounce does not state something about sex on front page but the comments speak about relationships. Night Furries is plain naked so it fits plus the others I'm 100% sure there is sex in them.
If Beach Bounce will have sex in it I will mark all 5 as sexual content :P
Comment has been collapsed.
theres a literal threesome sex scene in that game. theres plenty of sexual content
the fact it doesnt have it as a tag is surprising since it sure didnt shy away from it. 1 of the characters routes is to literally have sex with her every time you meet
Dude theres a tag for sexual content! I feel like I'm the only one who looks at tags XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the info :)
So all 5 entries will be sexual content :P
Maybe some others later I will add that are not sexual content.

I just realized, before Half Life can count you have one untouched SG win still that actually fits the theme this month: Nier - both for 14+ achievements and 14+ points.

Ah shame but I guess can't be helped. Removed my entries from the site, thanks for alerting me about it.

Can I give a go for Else Heart.Break() under 14 hltb-hour tab (or maybe love-themed)? I already have tried it for ten minutes but never really got to playing. Sadly the game has no achievements, but I can provide steam screenshots.
Comment has been collapsed.
Else Heart.Break() fits perfectly under 14+ points to enter so you can put it under that no problem :)
Edit: I saw you submitted it already, I moved it to the 14+ points category and verified it :)

I finished it. No achievements though, just a credit screenshot

I submitted To the Moon with cute/romance subcategories.
I also want to submit it's sequel wich I played halfway but then decided to play pequel first. Now this game don't have cute/romance subcategories in steam so I'm not sure if this qualifies.

I already edited it on the website, but Finding Paradise fits under emotional.

What? Why is this not one of the top posts? That's a travesty, I say!
Anyway, I'm going to continue a game I started last month that also fits this month's theme: Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark. The main character is trying to save a young woman that she has been mentoring after the loss of her mentor, and that she is trying not to lose to dark magic.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now it is the top post :P
That works (also as Samwise noted on the website it works under HLTB 14+ hour plus playtime as well). Best of luck finishing it!

First time here to participate in such type of events. Hope I'm not missing something important!

Welcome to the event!
A couple of things:
1) Any playtime in February counts (even before you subbmited the games) so all of the playtime you have in Fortix 2 counts!
2) You can submit your games on the website too to make it easier for both you are me to track (playtime and achievements get automatically checked and updated about once a day) and you get access to giveaway links as soon as the game is verified as beaten (also happens about once a day) and you don't have to wait till the end of the month.
3) sadly non SG wins only count if you have played all your SG wins that fit the theme.
Comment has been collapsed.
1) Gotcha!
2) I'm scared with all of that data... I need some time to conquer the fear!
3) Understandable.

I'm planning to beat;
- Shenmue I & II (14+ achievements)
- YumeCore (Cute)
- My Big Sister ( Psychological Horror )
Comment has been collapsed.
oh wow i kept going off blaeo saying it had no achievements so I didn't think shenmue had any!
with that and downfall I dont know if other games actually have achievements im just not seeing...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it has 55 achievements I guess. I never check blaeo for this purpose, I check it on Steam directly. You better check Steam or trueachievements.com to see achievements :)
I don't know where blaeo gets its database.
Comment has been collapsed.
only happened to be the 2 i mentioned but I know other users have had the same problem

My challenge to myself is to finish at least one well before the deadline for once.
edit: Maybe this is my lucky month! Just won 2 games while typing this up, haha
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I still have to finish 2 of 5 chapters in "One day in London", and it fits under "Games where choices matter" ("multiple endings" tag on steam)
Also, "Date Warp" is tempting because of LGBTQ+ tag
edit: added later:
Evoland — 14+ achievements
Evoland 2 — 14+ HLTB // cool game, not often I play until 100%
OK/NORMAL — 'psychological horror' tag
Comment has been collapsed.
Just so you know, I switched One day in London's category to 14+ achievements because it was a lot easier to see how the game fit under the theme that way, I hope you don't mind.
Comment has been collapsed.
nah, I don’t mind :) but for future submits: if I have a vn without achievements but with multiple endings, it fits under “games where choices matter”, or my logic failed somewhere?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, the logic sounds good to me. I just moved that one in particular since it is less effort to explain someone why it was approved if someone questions it. But if there is no "easier" option that one works no problem too ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
ah, I see, will choose easier option next time then :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll try to get around and play Pyre and Night in the Woods finally, I recon they both will go to the emotional games category.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can't say anything about emotional, but they both fit in the 14+ achievements category at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep! Actually checked them both for cheevos, but I hope there'll be some other applicable category based on some ingame stuff :) I try to keep your job as simple as I can (despite I submitted a game on day 1 that wasn't even a win :D )
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, you can just write down all the themes that you think that if in the notes if you want, I don't mind. But yea keeping it simple is the best way :P I am lazy ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Seeing as I just won a game today, I'll tackle it this month:
-> The Testament of Sherlock Holmes - Games with 14+ achievements
Comment has been collapsed.
Complete! 32/32 achievements at 12.7 hrs.
This one was a bit of a pain... There's a crash-on-save bug that develops and forces you to replay portions over and over hoping that it'll properly save at the auto-save checkpoints. Ugh...
Comment has been collapsed.
Now I can play Anarcute - because cute :) Also The Evil Within 2 - not cute, but psychologically horrible.
Comment has been collapsed.
I failed to find enough time to beat Bounty Train in January, so I'm going to resubmit it. My playtime is already 11.6 hours but I was constantly being distracted by the multitude of profitable trading opportunities, so I didn't really go that far in the main story. For those familiar with the game, I've just got in touch with the second sibling recently and have yet to complete her quests.
Comment has been collapsed.
That works, best of luck! I hope you manage to beat it this month :)

You know you could just have made a list right? :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunatly I'm not sure how much playtime I will have this month because of studies :(
But I also don't want to miss out on my own theme xD
So for now I'm just gonna go with two short and crappy VNs that I can play while eating or something :D
Both should fit under "Sexual Content":
- The Girl on the Train
- Darconika: The Cube of Soul
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, so I messed up yesterday and instead of working I played "Kingdom Rush" all night till 9am in the morning and slept till 7pm today...
This thesis is really f*cking me up -.-
Now that I'm probably already halfway through the game I'm just adding it for this month too I guess...
Fits into the category 14+ achievements :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm depending on how I go, I'll try aim to complete at least one of these:
- Her Story - psychological horror
- Yokus' Island Express - Family Friendly games
- Shadow Warrior 2 - Games with 14+ achievements
We'll see how I go lol

Just to confirm: Just cause 2 is from your Just Cause Collection win right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Played JC2 recently - if I can give one suggestion: bring your own music. Game is 70% silence and 28% explosions (and 2% gunfire / yelling). It turns its monotonicity into kind of chill-time.

nope, nevermind, I don't like this one.
Gonna go with "State of Mind"
nope, not this one either, pretty sure gonna love this one Prey
I guess in this game you've lost something and there're more then 14+ achievements, points and hours to complete the game . .
Comment has been collapsed.
I failed last month, going to give this another shot (boo for getting the flu).
Luckily, I believe this month's theme also applies to the game I intend to play that I never got to last month:
Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden (game where the main character lost or is losing someone important)

I hope you are feeling better now (or will feel better soon)! Best of luck for this month :)

Thank you, mouse!
Just finished it! A bit of light horror in there, I'd warn away young kids (I may have nightmares). Well, maybe I should stay away from horror games! :)

- Survival - Dead in Bermuda
- 14+ Achievements - Vertical Drop Heroes HD (added 2/9/20) - Beaten
- Survival - The Flame in the Flood (added 2/22/20) - Beaten
Comment has been collapsed.
Looooved The Flame in the Flood. I don't usually listen to American Country music, but this really fit with the game :]. Got a little tiring near the end with with the inventory management, but very atmospheric and immersive. My favorite song has to be the Credits Song😁 I nearly teared up at the end 😭 Favorite lyric "Keep my head above the water"
For Vertical Drop Heroes my favorite soundtrack has to be this synth-wave-rock that plays during Level 5. And then this sudden shift to head-banging Level 7 🤣 This game is pretty relaxing. You can just select auto-attack on the menu option and run into enemies.

Forgot about "won on SG" part, my bad. I remember now why I had stopped back then, I was out of unplayed won games. XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Dude
I make sure for this to happen with me asap
When I'm out of unplayed won games, this is when I go overdrive from my backlog
Have already completed all your wins?
Then feel free to participate with your normal Steam backlog instead :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm trying to do that! I wanna play backlog too. Should just save all my 1 hour games so 1 day I can end up with like 30 beaten XD
Oh and I saw your comment on your latest win, clearly not over that whole comment about you not playing a win 1 time and still taking part. Totally free and okay to think that way and gave me joy seeing that little info
Comment has been collapsed.
Keep at it you are getting there (I see your BLAEO profile ;) )
As for the note, are you trying to pull my leg ?!! :P
But seriously here you go
I would have been over it if the person who accused me of wrong doing on intention wasn't themselves doing wrong ..
They idle multiple games at the same time rigging the leaderboard of the event over and over ..even before I contacted Mouse about it I was positive she was well aware of it.. (Mouse and Sam seemed chill about the whole thing ..it is cool I'm not judging you guys it is a fantastic job you actually hosting this event.)
I guess because that person keep getting away with it they think everyone is like them
(you know I tried to sneak in non-SG wins before lol)
Wow you got over 800 wins back then and you still tried to sneak non wins.. EPIC
I had 11 wins all beaten/completed as they came and SCVI was the 12th.. I already burned my data cap for Nov and the next month the rush of advent calendar event missed with me a bit I needed to complete a game in less than 24hrs (I aim for 100% achievements generally when I start a game)
Apologies for the "heated" post but as I stated a few times before: for over the last decade of my life I've been gaming too much for my own health and real life .. too much to just take a shit regarding it from a shitter
Comment has been collapsed.
totally fine for the long post and i so get the whole annoyance on the time. i also saw the fact you 100% that sc6 game which was just insane. cant imagine trying to do that myself
Comment has been collapsed.
I never played a SC before and not a big fan of fighting games (injustice left a bad memory.. was a real pain to 100% that one)
I got suckered into adding SCVI to my wishlist by "Geralt", but it turned out nice tbh story is good and 100% it was no way as hard as Injustice was
Comment has been collapsed.
oh thats good. I decided to activate it myself after looking alot to make sure I didn't need the rest but I wont be attempting 100% on that. Thats a game that will go straight into my alt account to play so it doesnt ruin my stats and fun
Comment has been collapsed.
Woops... I have no idea how I messed that one up... I know what A Turing test is and I played that game... I will blame it on being tired :D
Submitting non SG games is fine, you just need to have played all your SG wins first, so as soon as that game is played the The Wolf Among us is fine too :)

I played BAD END. I completed all 14 achievements in 6.3h.
(I think it is Choices matter, horror and main character lost an important person)
I will try to play Next Hero, but it is the first game that does not support my new XBOX One controller.
And I bought it for these kind of games darn it!
Fun fact... I did not participated in the GAs of the last event i took place, because I did not know that they were on the site XD
Now I know though. I hope I will not do it again :P

The original avatar is pink. But at some point I got the background changed to fit my Steam profile background (it is not actually black, it is a purpleish galaxy, just looks black on SG because the image is so small), but all my themed avatars (Christmas/new year/birthday/...) still have the original pink background on them so it randomly switches between pink and dark sometimes. I need to get my avatar redrawn completely at some point as this one is 7 years old, but haven't gotten around to sorting that yet.

Hey, I can participate this month! But I won't be able to beat the game during the month. I'm not even sure what the end-game condition is, other than being forced to retire because you're too old. But you can get married! In any event:
| Name | Achievements | Category | Playtime this month | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smugglers 5 | no achievements | Games where you can have a relationship | 20h12m | Unfinished |
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, would you say that you have beaten Smugglers 5?
Edit: I just saw that your last edit was today, so I guess not, but correct me if wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, probably not. As I understand it, there is no specific way the game ends unless you retire, get so old that you are forced to retire, or die too many times (in which case you can load a save). I think that there are other conditions, which are class-specific, that could signal you've "beaten" the game. For my chosen class (Fleet Trader), I think the game can be considered beaten when you are a factory owner and/or have achieved the highest rank in the fleet (although I'm not sure what that is-- probably something like Admiral).
So far, I have unlocked the ability to own a factory but haven't actually bought one yet (I would literally just have to click a few buttons), because I've been focusing on the other goal-- to get the highest rank. I'm a Commodore right now, and I don't know if the next rank is Admiral or if there are other ranks (Read Admiral, etc.) between my rank and the final one. Also, I'll probably try to get married before I retire. Who wouldn't want to marry the Admiral of the Federation Fleet? ;-)
Anyway, I'm pretty close, but I haven't yet finished it. I'll probably wrap it up early this month. If I was looking to enter any giveaways, I might have opened a few factories and retired, since that's probably sufficient to "beating" the game. I was just happy to participate, in my own way. :-)
Edit: Yes, my last edit was last night (my time) to document the status at the end of the month.

I assumed so.
Well I am happy that you are just happy with participating ^^ You can also participate with it for this month under the subtheme of "Games with points on SG between 3 and 14" so if you wrap it up this month it can count as beaten and a successful participating for March :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, after one more battle this morning, I was promoted to Admiral. I don't know if that's the highest rank or not.
As I understand the rules, I am too close to beating the game to have it count for March.

Hi, if you want your submissing to count you need to put your playtime on Steam to public. If you need the instructions how to do that:
Go to your Privacy Settings and change your "Game details" from Friends Only to Public and make sure the checkbox bellow is unchecked. Here is an example of how it all should look.

The only thing I would maybe add is the funny tag as well next to the parody and humour oney.

When you said the theme will have numbers in it I expected worse, I actually like this one :D except the Games removed from Steam part, that one is bound to give me some issues, but thankfully the website can deal with this nonsense just fine

How about games that have participated in some kind of April Fool's event? Obviously the winners would need to find proof. I imagine that would open the way for people to play multiplayer games especially.
Comment has been collapsed.
I like the idea and I'll add it, but could you elaborate on how those worked? I haven't been around that long!

Oh! I meant the devs doing something for April Fool's, not on SG. Like if a FPS made everyone's guns shoot rainbows and bunnies for the day.

Entrants number is a prime number
Just to confirm, you mean the total entries in the giveaway you won right?

Your theme? Since you provided multiple options I split it up under the possible ones. They count separately so people can pick which one they like the best but in the event of a tie with another theme (like we had 3/4 of last month) the other votes will add up to it aka no more tie hopefully.

Would Lucius or Bendy and the Ink Machine™ fit the "Psychological Horror games"?

I'm not sure if I've ever been scared that hard as in Bendy... literally the icy water feeling down my back, being unable to react to the horror ( I'm a jumper when it comes to scares, that surpassed it xD )

If it is tagged as such, if it says something about it in the description or if you can give me a good enough reason why it is emotional I will approve it, but as Moony said, it has over +14 achievements so please just put it under that ;)

What should i do if i want to make a giveaway for the event?
Comment has been collapsed.
You can add me on Steam to send me the link for the giveaway, that's it :) and afterwards I add it to the website and to the list of giveaways. As for the giveaway itself the only requirements are that it is an invite only giveaway anr that should preferably end at the beginning of the next month (not 100% necessarily however).

Yes, so long as it fits the category it's fine. I won Chasm from PA and got it approved on the site :)
Comment has been collapsed.
As Alvin said, you can add any game to the event as long as it is a SG win that fits the current theme (unless you played all of those already, then any backlog game that fits the theme is also okay).
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, I have been pretty lax on rules till now except the games having to be SG win but considering some people have complete disregard for rules this is going to change. I am sorry to those who have participated for a long time that might get hit in the crossfire from this, but you can go thank that one person who has 10 unactivated wins and apparently that is fine with SG rules to still run around like this that pushed me over the line.
So what's gonna change:
- No more people with unactivated, multiple wins or VAC bans are allowed to participate (people like that who already submitted their win this month get grandfathered in and are allowed to stay and participate this month)
- no comment on this thread? If there is something wrong with the game you submitted it gets automatically deleted, I am tired of running after people
- along those lines, no comment on this thread = not invited to join/re-join the group.
I will update the website, group page and this discussions main post once I get home from work. I just wanted to warn people in advance.

sure lots of people have won games they didnt want in the end. Heck I've got a few of them myself but I'm not running around with unactivated wins because thats just plain wrong. Just activate/reactive those games to your account since its really not that hard to do and deal with them like we all do

oh i totally understand. I remember when I first joined and I kept seeing the same people with like 5+ games close/past the 30 day mark, it annoyed me. It was like sure people are actually playing my game now but at the same time when its the bare minimum and seeing all these people just winning everything to play the bare minimum again why not just give it away else where. The worst are definitely the ones that I brought outside of bundles only for them to not really be played more then of course what was needed. When I enter, I go in expecting to finish it so it definitely ends up disappointing

These are good rules. But too bad there is even a need for them and that you are put in a such a position to have to enforce them, no fun for you I am sure. Still good to know that here is no place here for such shenanigans. So thank you for looking out for us and everything that you do for this group and event.

Yep, I was pretty upset that I had to come out and enforce this. Thankfully 99% of people who participate are completely "innocent" which made me very happy to see :) my pleasure :)

Yup, I totally agree with commenting on this thread as a backup measure in case something goes wrong with the website and our submitted games get deleted. I almost forgot to do that. Plus, I never updated my comment when I submitted a new game. I will do that from now on 😅.
I'd love to help out as an Admin, but I don't think I'd be any good since I'm not as savvy with maintaining a website.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thankfully it only happened once at the begining that we lost about 8 hours of submissions and it was 100% my fault but better safe than sorry. I would rather fix the mistake myself than inconvenience other people even more (I only need the name of the game in the comment, nothing else). Other than that the server I pay for has been really solid for the little money I pay for it and the website has been great ( thanks again insideone and ardiffaz <3 ).
It is actually super straight forward but for now I get more than enough help from Samwise :) I appreciate the willingness to help out tho :)

The giveaways I make cost far more than anything else lol. The server is only 3,65€ a month (I would like to just host it at home but it is too much of a headache with my ISP) and the domain was less than 1€ for a year.

i knew they would could cost more but I was classing it as a thing of at least with those gas you get cv so its something back compared to keeping the site up. At least its not to much to keep it running

10 unactivated wins?! This is beyond the pale even for grandfathered members especially since he hasn't activated any of them since
Do I need to retroactively comment in the January thread too. I think I forgot to add my game there.

I've beaten a game but have some achievements left, which should take a while (daily challenges). Should I mark the game as beaten now or wait until I've hopefully completed it this month?
Comment has been collapsed.
Mark it as beaten, and change it to completed if you got everything during February?
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it's up to you. As far as I'm know there is no problem to change game status during the event. So if you marked game as "Beaten", you can easily change it to "Completed" once you got all the achievements. But, in my opinion, there is still enough time until the end of the month so don't need to rush and marked game as "Beaten". In the worst case, if you not be able to get the remaining achievements before the end of the month, you can just mark the game as "Beaten" later, since you actually beat the game already.
What is more important in my opinion is that you have changed your Steam Custom URL and website can't track your progress properly anymore. So you better wait an answer from Mouse or samwise and ask if you need to take any action, or they themselves can change your ID on the site.
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn really? Didn't think things depended on the ID. I just wanted to change to one more appropiate to the gamer ID I've had for a while, didn't think that would cause any inconvenience :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Log out and log in again on the website, it should update you profile data.
But your custom URL is not your ID, it's just an easy-to-remember link to your profile.
Your SteamID is 76561198067899024 and you can't change this number.
Comment has been collapsed.
you have changed your Steam Custom URL and website can't track your progress properly anymore.
That's wrong. Custom url is not needed to track progress. Only steamId matters, and this thing cannot be changed.
As far as I remember, custom url can be updated on the website, when the user log out and log in again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh my fault. Since when I tried to look at user statistics, the links lead me nowhere, I thought that there might be problems after the change custom URL.

A question about Californium
Has anyone played this one? Would it be possible to fit it within the current month theme? Based on the description (and tags) I have a hard time to figure this one out.
The main reason why I want to play this, it has an achievement - Launch the game the 12th of February. And this day will soon be upon us :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know anything about the game so I can't help there, so hopefully someone else can help. But I can suggest just starting the game on the 12th and leave the actual game playing for another month if you really want to play it for the event :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, it looks like a short game, so, I`ll just play it regularly :)
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, have fun! If you find a way how it could possibly fit any theme once you play the game feel free to add it afterwards :)
Comment has been collapsed.
So... that Californium game definitely fits under Games where the main character lost or is losing someone important, that is for sure. And I would say it is also a logical choice for a Sad or depressing games subcategory.
In the Steam forum I`ve found a pretty short and easy to understand explanation of the whole game (plot, ending and etc). Please note that there are huge SPOILERS, thus if anyone plan to play this game, do not read it. Here is the link:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/402060/discussions/0/1327844097106976602/
If it is ok, I am going to submit the game under a "sad" category.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll make an executive decision as mouse's slave and say it's okay, From that description it totally fits under both categories.

Asking now to prepare for next month.
I have only one SG win that I haven't beaten, Stealth Inc 2. Mouse I don't know if you remember but I tried playing it while applying for PA but started having problems with the controls. If next month's theme is Life of Pi, that win will qualify, and the only game I will be able to participate with next month would be one that I have trouble playing. Can an exception be made here so I can play my normal backlog?
I'll maybe try to add the game to play anyway in case I find the will to try to make it work, but it's going to suck not being able to participate before I get it working.
Comment has been collapsed.
You gave the game a try, so it is fine by me, you can play your normal backlog from now on (unless you get any new wins that fit the theme) :)
Also it is actually not required to beat every single win to be able to play non SG wins, just to have tried the game out which I now see that is actually not specifically mentioned anywhere (for some reason I had it in my mind that it was :/ ), I will add that to the FAQ next time I update it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you! Hey I knew that you can play non-wins if you don't have wins that fit the theme, thing is that every win I had fit the theme this month lol. Having only 9 wins that ended up the only one left to play. But it's nice to find something to improve on!
EDIT: Lmao I can't read. Okay that's good, didn't know that! Don't have to worry about this game at all then.
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems like people really like to get new rules added to the group this month. My hand has been forced once again. So here you go:
While idling games is not against the rules, any idle time MUST be added to the already existing playtime by the participant. Not doing so and not providing any explanation why the playtime is abnormally high (I am not gonna punish you if you are simply bad/slow at the game or spent a lot of time troubleshooting the game for example) will see in the game being removed.
What is considered as abnormally high?
This is extremely game dependent, so it is extremely hard to define but as long as you are not at like 2x the playtimes expected from sites like HLTB and you know you did not idle the game, you should have nothing to worry about (and if you still worry, leave a note on the submission or message me directly, I am always available).
And please note that as someone who has played over 1000 games and has been working on setting playtimes for Playing Appreciated group for over 2 years, I know a thing or 2 about playtimes for a lot of games.

I'm a horrible person who sometimes "plays" games while watching cooking videos on youtube because I forgot that the game is running in the background :D Being distracted for literal hours when a game is slower/boring is an eternal problem for me... my minimum gameplay time generally is HLTB casual +25% :D And that is for the good games!
Comment has been collapsed.
Happens to everyone sometimes :D I forgot my games open many times while I do other stuff to (I left a game open 3x while doing other stuff yesterday alone woooops). If you leave it for a longer amount of time just add that time to the "playtime before the start of the month" and it is all good.

Oh no, it most definitely wasn't you, the person responsible for this one has been "dealt" (for the lack of a better word) with already. If you don't idle games for hours you have nothing to worry about. This is just here to prevent people from idling games for +10 hours or such.

I knew you would approve :) and if you are wondering, it was added exactly for the reason you probably think it was added.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds good to me even if I'm one of the bad gamers who often wonders about the HLTB times 😂
But to be fair the rule should also include abnormally low times (even if this didn't get you higher in the ranking or whatever is the intention for people who want to add extra time to games 🙄)
Just a short question for something else:
How do you handle games which are not set to "beaten/completed" at the end of the month? Do you check if they are possibly beaten or do you just ignore them?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I can't speak for mouse, but I usually ignore them. As far as I know mouse usually makes one pass through the forum to see if anyone makred their games here as beaten. Also mouse usually lets her script run once every day, so even if you do not mark it we might catch it by the stats changing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why I ask is because I wonder if I should remove the game I will not finish to save you some time at the end of the month. Maybe another status like "won't finish" or something would be good. If Mouse really checked all the 69 unfinished games at the end of last month, that's quite a lot work.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I think she mainly checks the forum for any comments. I usually remove mine that I do not finish, but it is not a must.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah thats what i do mainly because i dont want my profile saying they entered 24 games but only completed 19
Comment has been collapsed.
The abnormally low times get questioned under if the person is cheating. I haven't had a case yet that I remember however.
Samwise is actually wrong here. I do check through all of them quickly (aka if it is damn obvious that the game is beaten) but I don't go into details if there is no obvious achievements for beating the game. And I only check the forum if there is someone who commented here that has not submitted any games to the site, not for beaten games.
You don't need to remove them, but you can leave a note saying that you won't finish it or something like that if you want.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder if given this it would be worthwhile to have Beaten, Beaten+Extra, and Completed options. That way to some degree abnormally high play time could be explained by attempting to get extra achievements even if there was a failure to complete the game / so we can point out that we did this to you to reduce your cognitive load in analyzing the achievements done.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think there is a need for that. If the playtime is over the story playtime and under the completionist one it can just be assumed people went to do some extra things.

I never understand why people idle a game instead of playing it.
that 0.10 cents from cards is not worth it :P

10 cents is free 10 cents and it adds up very when you have +1000 games. But this is a problem unrelated to farming trading cards.

I tend to make an attempt to have at least one game double dip this and one of those for maximum coverage. As an example, this month The Gardens Between was one of my PoP picks and it satisfied the category for this as well. Next month, The Sexy Brutale which was also a PoP pick will satisfy next month via either the Puzzle tag or the Mystery tag. I also played Tacoma which satisfied both this and the BLAEO monthly theme.
