I'm not super fussed about having a backlog (it's just a library of options to suit my mood!), but the website looks fantastic and it would be nice to have everything sorted. May I join?

Hello
I would like to get access to the site for keeping track of the pending games I should terminate with extreme prejudice, ( or maybe settle for mild prejudice).
sorry but I requested access to the group first, the webpage told me I had to be a member so I assumed it was the correct procedure

Looks interesting, I would like to apply. I organize my backlog by games bought per month or steam sale and then tackle them as they accumulate.
It gets hectic but I manage: https://imgur.com/a/nzlPlRy

Well time to start the impossible fight against my backlog with tons of achievements, a huge amount of playtime and soul crushing download speeds.

Added, sorry for the delay.
And yes, the fight is hard, but you can do it!

So as what do you mark games that you can't finish and/or don't have achievements
For example paladins is an online game that you can't exactly finish since its a multiplayer pvp game.
and managing games like draft day sports pro basketball 4 / Cities skylines don't exactly have an ending either.
the same can be said for mmorpg, and what about tools like wallpaper engine? or test servers?

It's up to you, there's no rule about it. I personally mark games without achievements as beaten when I beat the main story and as completed when I complete the extras, but there are some people who only mark games without achievements as beaten. Endless games I generally mark as beaten when I get a certain percentage of its achievements. For example, I would probably mark Cities: Skylines as beaten after getting 75% of the achievements.
But like I said, it's up to you. Mark them however you want.
As for tools, I think the site is supposed to filter those out. Try opening a thread in the Steam forum and mandrill will assist you.

Oh I'm so stupid, I requested to join the site on the Steam group, while the real way to request a membership on the site is here :(
I'd like to join the site please! I keep wondering what game could I play and find issues to motivate myself to launch one, this site will help me :D

Hi, I'm not sure how this works. I am member of the site. should I request to join the group or somebody will send me a request ? I know I requested a long time ago but I didn't have at least half of my wins finished.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now I'm even more confused. this group is not the same with Playing Matters? I know there was this requirement, to have at least 50% of wins beaten.
Comment has been collapsed.
definitely seems interesting and great way to motivate people to play their backlogs. right now im going off percentage of achievements done since most of my stuff has achievements. only way anyone is seeing my achievements since i like to keep that and playtime private so everyone isnt getting bombarded by all the unlocks. plus some games i play offline or they unlock when i quit and im not dealing with the hassle of oh u mustve cheated XD
wow with completing my 1st actual win a story about my uncle im up to 58% i got a bit angry at it but i surprisingly liked the game alot

I struggled to 100% A Story About My Uncle, but I did it in the end. xD

yeah it was very annoying and difficult to 100%
just checked it and the guide for chat is very easy and understandable compared to everything else

thanks to this site i found out i have a game i never knew about. apparently its in my library but i cant find it anywhere! but its a game i have apparently! its clearly a game that i accidently added and it just believes ive owned it this whole time

Likely it's a free one . your account gets it's license when you click play (even if you refuse to install it) and while it does not stay in your library, the license is now associated with your account. Same with played then uninstalled free to play games :)
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah it was free. i mustve ignored it ages ago when it said in library when searching through games so just decided to install it to see what its like but that means 1 extra game!

I'd like to join, please. I could really use additional motivation to fight my backlog.

Yesterday I've posted my second Monthly update post on the site, so now I'm sending an invite for the Steam group. Please consider adding me ;)

After some ground-breaking new website features implemented by mandrill, BLAEO is accepting member applications again! :D
But instead of being invited to the Steam group directly, you will be given access to our website after applying in this thread. Just set up your profile there and be active if you want to, and we'll eventually invite you to the Steam group. Right now the Steam group is mainly used for syncs with SG and group giveaways on here (and reminder announcements for various things), so you're not missing much if you don't get invited right away ;) And just to clarify, the website is basically the group, the Steam group is pretty much just a bonus ;)
Thanks to this new feature, we can now proudly announce that there are no requirements to join (not that we really had any before), simply let us know you're interested here :)
Once you're in the Steam group though, you're only allowed to enter group giveaways if you've been active (we won't post our requirements/definition of "active" so people can't abuse that information).
So, in conclusion, post here to gain full access to the BLAEO website and then add mandrill to your whitelist :P
Please do not add group admins/mods or post to their Steam profiles to get an invite, you'll get added to the site much faster if you just reply in this thread
PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO JOIN THE GROUP WITHOUT HAVING BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE! Request to be added to the website in this thread first!
If you don't know where to start on the site, read this guide, and/or this guide. Extra info on image formatting.
If you don't want to miss any announcements, subscribe to these group threads (works for everyone):

FAQ (under construction)
I just joined, and the site isn't showing achievements for my games. Help?
The site starts compiling everything starting with your first login, so if you just used it for the first time, just wait a few hours. Same with new achievements and game additions, just give it some time.
How do I post on the site?
Read this getting started guide, and/or this guide.
How do I get into the Steam group?
We add everyone who applies in this thread to the users of our website, meaning after you login there with your Steam account for the first time, you can use it as a regular member.
Steam changed how groups manage new members and we can no longer invite people we aren't already friends with. So after you're added to the website and have been using it for a while, request an invite to the Steam group if you want to join. We'll review your request and accept it if you have indeed been active on the site (for at least 10 days, but depending on frequency and extent of activity, might be several weeks until you get an invite).
PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO JOIN THE GROUP WITHOUT HAVING BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE! Request to be added to the website in this thread first!
I applied in this post and didn't get invited to the Steam group.
See above.
What are the benefits of being in the Steam group?
You get to
post on the forums and* join giveaways that are shared with the group here on SG! But remember that we're not a giveaway group and there aren't many running giveaways at any given time, so you're really not missing much if you're not in the Steam group.*the forums are open to everyone now, no need to join the Steam group
Why did I get kicked from the Steam group?
There's really only one rule: Don't join group exclusive giveaways (i.e. not shared with any other groups or the whitelist) if you haven't been active on the site for a while. A "while" can be anything between 14 days and over a month, depending on your usual activity (e.g. members with huge monthly posts won't get kicked for joining a group exclusive GA 4 weeks after their last post, but someone with who usually posts short updates like "I finished this game, it was fine" every few days and hasn't posted in over 2 weeks might get the boot - this is examined on a case by case basis, any kinds of posts are fine, just be aware of this when you want to enter a group exclusive giveaway AND stay in the Steam group).
I got kicked out of the Steam group, can I still use the website?
Yes! You can use it just like before, nothing changes for you in that regard.
I left the Steam group. Does that affect site usage in any way?
No, but please let us know about it, especially if you don't want to get invited back into the Steam group, so we can make a note of it and don't spam you with invites when you're active on the site.
