So it’s great when people post things like the recent “games with interesting mechanics” thread…

But inevitably, I end up adding some games to my Steam wishlist, and then 6 months later the game goes on sale and I’ll get a notification and be like “uh… wait, what is this game? Why is it on my wishlist?” It would sure be great if my wishlist could have a link back to the Lemmy post / TikTok video / Polygon article / whatever that convinced me to wishlist it…

Anyone figured out a good way of keeping track of that? I know there are some price-tracking sites with wishlist functionality… any of them do anything like this?

    I use steam DB to track my wish list prices. But I genuinely forget why I wish listed something. I just assume if it’s on my wish list and the price is low enough I’ll just buy it. And figure it out. I typically buy games around $5. So at that point I’m willing to take a risk on forgetfulness.

    But I’d say for most games I remember why I found it interesting. Sometimes I have no clue. It’s just part of the adventure
