I've resisted the urge to buy anything for 2 weeks, and I think just the $1.99 for gemcraft this month + 2 GA games (Transistor, Wimp: Who Stole my pants)
Edit - oh, I think I bought a game to put in a GA at the start of the month as well. Ah well.

Though if Insomnia is busting out in the next week or two, that may blow any sense of progress this year into the stratosphere ;)

Just bought MISSING: INTERACTIVE THRILLER on Google Play. It's not really an addition to the backlog, I already bought it on Steam, wanted to play it with my wife, she didn't like it enough to get far into it, so I will play it myself on the tablet.
Also added 3 more games to the trash pile thanks to Be Mine Anniversary 3 at Groupees, which I bought for The Cloud Dungeon, a pen & paper & scissors & markers RPG.
Problem is, it's not just games. I'm now tempted to buy the full Pathfinder bundle at Humble. I used to collect RPG games 20+ years ago, when I actually read them, and it still feels like a cool thing to own, but I know I will hardly read these books, especially since it's a bog standard D&D style RPG.
The Cloud Dungeon, on the other hand, I'm definitely going to play with my kids, if they'll let me.

Is this it? March may very well be my games-buying-moratorium combo breaker. Yeah, I'm not sure I'll be able to withstand the allure of the Wadjet Eye's newest: Shardlight.
Then again, I still have $160 in reserve from Christmas and my birthday from which I haven't spent anything. Time to finally use some of that, me thinks. So much for my NY's resolution. I can't cheat my way out of this with gift money. =/

I've been thinking of buying a van. I think I could've bought one with the money I spent on nearly 900 games on gog...

Fantasysci5: I was doing a good job of not spending any of my own money to buy games for a few months now (I did get a gift card for Christmas that I used for two games). But this newest humble bundle is tempting me. :/
Sorry for the slow reply, I guess it's too late to make an intervention now in case you caved in. Then again, this is a strategic thread, not so much a tactical intervention thread because we aren't able to help each other in real time when the cravings threaten to take over. I recently started doing meditation and even though I'm a novice at this I can already see what a powerful tool meditation & related practices can be against various temptations, including serious ones like humblebundleism. Perhaps I'll go into more detail in a later (more extensive) post but I just wanted to throw the suggestion out there already.

Don't be too hard on yourself, you can total your van in one hit but the same can't happen to your Gog collection! I've been thinking of buying a van. I think I could've bought one with the money I spent on nearly 900 games on gog...

...but you still need therapy and therefor came to the right place :) Your past excesses don't matter that much, what you do next is what matters most.
mistermumbles: Is this it? March may very well be my games-buying-moratorium combo breaker. Yeah, I'm not sure I'll be able to withstand the allure of the Wadjet Eye's newest: Shardlight.
I hear you! Almost bought Shardlight but I'm currently on a good clean streak so I told myself that I'll wait until the game goes on sale, since I'll buy 2 copies anyway that won't hurt the developer/publisher. I'm currently at a point where I feel like I have beaten the addiction and I could allow myself to buy pre-planned purchases like Wadjet adventures or the Cayne DLC for Stasis, on the other hand I want to be sure that I'm free of compulsion and make purchases because I primarily want to play the game and not just to get a quick dopamine rush from the act of buying the game. So I'll wait even if I know that I'll buy all Wadjet adventures anyway at some point. Technically speaking, long clean streaks are somewhat overrated. What matters is that one manages to break free from compulsion and that there is overall progress, meaning fewer purchases in total over the course of the year.

Well, for this instance I bought them because I really wanted to play them. I finished Shardlight over the weekend, and I'm now in the middle of enjoying Undertale. :) After that I'll just enjoy some more of my backlog until something else comes along I'd love to play. ;)

I think I hit on a new psychological problem. I'm now starting to think of buying games as "supporting the devs". I look at the Humble Jumbo 6 bundle and thinking: I won't play Dreamfall Chapters soon, but I'm happy that it's out, and I want the devs to get my support. $7 isn't too much.

The Insomnia shall be a good test if I overcome my compulsion buying.

That's going to be the title of my book ""Supporting the Devs" or why I have 1000+ games on Steam, GoG and Origin"

Ended up supporting the devs. That's my highest cost game purchase this year.
