Should I continue my pursuit of 100% completions?
But to 100% a lot of titles you need to play a certain way or, worst case, start over from scratch. Not fun on a 50hr+ title. Good example was Final Fantasy 8. I love the game but I played it without levelling as it was an achievement. Otherwise I would have had to play through twice.

I'm not an acievement hunter myself but my personal take is play the game as long as you feel it's fun. If you're pushing yourself to play something merely for the achievements and you get no satisfaction in the process I'd say move on to new things. If you're still enjoying the game then go for it!

Well that example is just a grind.
Grind achievements can either be done in a reasonable play time, or suck balls because they force you to keep playing after the game stopped being much fun.
In case of the latter, if I really wanted the achievement I'd start off with other games and pop back into the one with the cheevo every once in a while to grind a bit more when i feel like it.
(although, personally I just ignore such achievements altogether, I'm really not too fussed about 100%-ing everything all the time)

My advice is simple. Achievements are all well and good, but driving yourself to play a game you might not enjoy (anymore or as much) just for the sake of it is really counter productive and you should move on since you never know when you could find that next great game of yours.
Either way have a bump and Happy New Year.

Personally, I don't count a game as competed unless I have all the achievements I feel I can realistically get. Sometimes there are achievements that are either unobtainable (at my level of skill) or just plain too grindy. I don't go for these. But all the rest, I have to get! (That is, if I like the game and want to complete it).

I would go for that and start completing all those achievements from the games You want to play. I'd give up with completing every game You own, obviously, but those 120 (which is a lot anyway) is real. It will take quite a long time but it will at least keep You entertained :)
I'd also like to wish You all the best in the New 2017 Year! Let it be at least not worse than the old one :)
Thank You for the giveaways!
PS. Congrats on reaching such a high level!

So I am facing a personal dilemma for the new year. I am a completionist when it comes to achievements, only skipping multi player as it holds little interest to me. The 2 titles I am currently playing to 100% completion will reach me the 100 perfect games milestone on my profile but I am facing an ever increasing backlog. Should I carry on as I am or discontinue my efforts? I do enjoy most of the achievements as they cause me to play the games differently to how I would normally though there are some horribly grindy ones I have completed.
Some bits to take into consideration. My backlog of incomplete titles is 1303 according to Darkadia. Around 2/3rds contain achievements. My installed games (all from my wishlist) amounts to 120. I am subscribed to the Humble Monthly and this is where I get the majority of my new games now. This sale I have bought myself 1 new title as I have plenty already to play (+ any I may win here). All thoughts welcome.
Oh yes and the gifts
