This'll fill time but is it practical? You need a game so you rummage through a pile of games you bought ages ago, pick one out and hope it's good? I'm very picky about what I want to play at this point so I really can't imagine buying now and hopefully being interested later.

It's no different from the situation with a new game. You're never going to know 100% that you like something until you play it. My backlog is mostly either stuff from on sale or things I picked up when I was already busy with something and just forgot about when I was free again.

The nice thing is that I have a good spread of genres so I can pick out what's fitting my mood.

Oh this sounds familiar.
You know people are always going to bat for indie games when topics like this come up but so far I've only seen a couple of Hollow Knight mentions.

Indie games are hard to look forward to because it's a struggle to find out about them before release. You're not going to know you'll like one unless they had a solid prior release, like Hollow Knight into Silksong or Hades into 2.

I play plenty of indie games, but I don't find out about them until after they're out. Was playing Oxygen Not Included over the weekend for example. That game's like four years old, but a random YouTube video I saw was what prompted me to give it a shot.
