StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and more

[electricdreamer]

Before I begin delving into media and writing blog posts about media featuring robots, A.I., and other constructs, I am documenting what I read, watch, listen to, and more via StoryGraph, Letterboxd, YouTube, and Podchaser. This is how I will be tracking books (including audio books), movies, and podcasts.

I haven't yet found a good platform that I can use to document my progress and activity for television shows or video games, however. If you have feedback on any, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Hi! I'm MythicMistress. I found your journal when I saw that the "robot fiction" interest on my profile was now a hyperlink and got curious. I like constructs, and look forward to seeing your blog posts, whenever they happen. As for documenting progress on TV shows and video games, the closest I've found to sites that might be useful are these, for TV shows. https://tvtime.zendesk.com/hc/en-us and trakt.tv. (take them with a grain of salt- I've never used them, seeing as how I don't really watch TV anymore). For video games, maybe the app Stash? I'm not having much luck. Best of luck finding ways to document your progress with TV and video games. And hey, I know it's not ideal, but a Google Docs/Excel spreadsheet would work to at least get the work titles and date viewed/played documented.

Wow! Thanks so much, these are great resources! I'll check these out. I would use spreadsheets but I'm a lot more interested in finding a pre-existing place where I can log things incrementally that I don't physically have to also, then, add to something like my Neocities site by hand (I get overwhelmed already as an autistic person who isn't the best at parsing text in general) so things like Letterboxd and Storygraph have been helpful tools. I'll definitely be keeping my own list of completed media and my logged thoughts on them, but they won't be for public viewing, I don't think... but, who knows, perhaps I'll eventually get used to having all of my reviews for everything in an additional, central location. My brain tragically tends to work in mysterious ways. Thanks for these recommendations, though! I'll give these a look and see if they meet my needs.

I may have mistyped that video game tracker, but I did find this as well, maybe one of these will work: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/like-goodreads-but-for-video-games-manage-your-game-collection-better/
If one of the things I linked works out, good. (And I apologize if they don't work out.)
Edit 2-23-23: I found a site for video games that looked promising, if you haven't already decided on one: https://www.backloggd.com/
This actually has a bit of a demo to take a look at things. I'm considering signing up myself. (Sorry if I'm being a pest.)

You're not being a pest! And no worries, I think I found it. My blogging ambitions are on a bit of a hold at the moment due to some chronic health issues, so I haven't made a whole lot of progress, but using Cohost as a 'liveblog' platform for my reactions while watching films has proved pretty easy, so far. There's every chance I may consolidate all my progress in one place and eschew use of things like Letterboxd/Storygraph/etc. but... I'll just do what comes the easiest, frankly.
