So it’s great when people post things like the recent “games with interesting mechanics” thread…
But inevitably, I end up adding some games to my Steam wishlist, and then 6 months later the game goes on sale and I’ll get a notification and be like “uh… wait, what is this game? Why is it on my wishlist?” It would sure be great if my wishlist could have a link back to the Lemmy post / TikTok video / Polygon article / whatever that convinced me to wishlist it…
Anyone figured out a good way of keeping track of that? I know there are some price-tracking sites with wishlist functionality… any of them do anything like this?
Sorry - my reply won’t be really helpful to you, but I still want to say it because I think I have a bit different perspective on that problem and maybe that will be of use to someone.
I actually use that “forgot for half a year” approach to “curate” my wishlist. I usually aggresively wishlist a bunch of games during game events and so on, and then, about once a year I return to my wishlist and ask myself, if I still remember what were in those games that caught my eye, are they still interesting to me? If I do not, and looking at trailer and/or screenshots does not hype me up again, then it does not worth spending on (at least right now). Then I remove those that I decided to not play at all from the wishlist.
Rock solid advice.
Same, I return during the two major annual sales (summer/winter) and purge then. If I can’t be further enticed when the price is good, then I know it shouldn’t be on the list.
