In the case of Steam, it is in the bottom left or right. It is a pop up telling you that you are doing good. Look, what set me off on this very angry rant were the people that seem to be putting far too much stock in casino mechanics. Given the current generation was born in the early 00s, there is a good chance you don’t know what a disc is in the first place. You have moved the character, have an achievement.” Soon enough, you’ll get an achievement for being able to put in a disc properly. Now it is something akin to “You’ve moved the camera, have an achievement. ![]() That made for the tiniest form of sense as something almost any normal person wouldn’t do in a month of Sundays. There were things like making 50,000,000 steps without stopping, running over 69 prostitutes in three-minutes, or staring blankly at this one piece of beige textured wall in the corner of an inconsequential room for forty-minutes. There was a time very early on, where they made some sense. This is where I point to the MMO crowds, with their facetious “grats!” at anything claimed to be a low-level achievement, you are just as much to blame. I have never once, quote-unquote, “hunted down” an achievement in a game for one simple reason: 99.999% of them are not an achievement. That probably leads to your first question: “How have achievements ruined gaming?” They have led to people placing value in something lacking so much in purpose and value, that you are obsessed with the damn things. Someone thinks I am joking about that, but I am not, my blood is boiling just thinking about it. I am displeased with the malleable minds that allowed achievements in games to become a thing, and you’ve gone on to encourage them. I don’t hate you for all those semi-formed words and phrases I have to research on Urban Dictionary and I don’t hate you for anything a grumpy old man (of 24) would hate you for. I don’t hate you the Tiktoks I don’t understand. If you were alive and gaming sometime between 20 or are a part of the current generation, I want you to know that I despise something specific that came around that generation.
