That's actually a novel approach I didn't think about. Thanks for sharing!
I am not playing a ton of games really so maybe that is also something I could consider.
What software are you using for this and could you share something you've written? Only if not too personal of course, I understand you might not want to share, that is OK.
I too don't play games that often, not for want of trying.
However, it allows me to be deliberate with my gaming sessions as well as when I am writing about it.
I use Org-Mode in Emacs, but I previously used Obsidian. You may definitely find the latter more palatable, as it did to me initially.
As for what I write, my write-ups starts out with links to the game's Steam/PlayStation store and Wikipedia entry (resolved on a best effort basis), and to my journal entry to Steam Deck or PS5 (nothing more than to facilitate reverse lookup). Followed by my own brief description of the game, story, and any special gameplay mechanics worth highlighting. The rest are my thoughts on what worked and what did not for me.
There are some older, obscure games like Camy series, Monster Hunter (not the famous series), Heart of Darkness, and many more. which do not have any links but my write-ups are longer. Perhaps I play them more and have more to write about because not much is available online.
Thanks for sharing!
