Marie Kondo would not like me.

Admittedly, my knowledge of the Japanese clean-up guru comes solely from cultural knowledge; I have not watched her Netflix series or read her books. Still, when Victoria suggested we use the KonMari Method on our gaming collection, I knew what that meant -- stripping down our list of games to the bare essentials, keeping only the ones that "spark joy".

I even got aggressive with it. Marie Kondo supposedly keeps only 30 books. Thirty is too many, I said, brashly. How about we make it a challenge? Let's make it... ten.

SPOILER ALERT: My list has more than ten games. Like, significantly more.

The problem is that I like... stuff. If everything sparks joy, how can I throw anything away?
