donuts, do games w I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

These achievements are just filler, preying on the people who feel bad if they don’t get them all.

You can see in your own screenshot that 0.1% of players have completed it. So yes, it’s possible.

Worth it? No.

False,

You can use certain programs to give yourself achievements. Could be that

donuts, (edited )

I mean, it’s like a hobby. If you are unlocking them with a program you’re just cheating on yourself. If you feel like you need to cheat to make yourself feel better about something that doesn’t impact anyone else, then I think you should reflect a bit on that and ask yourself why you wanted it in the first place.

But that’s just like, my opinion, man. It doesn’t really harm anyone in the end. I just think achievements are used as carrots on a stick, exploiting the human psyche of “number go up = dopamine” to make the player think the game has more value than it does, or is “worth the price” because you got so many hours out of it (grinding for those last shitty achievements).

DesolateMood,

I think it’s fair for someone to want to cheat in achievements of this nature. OP put over 100 hours into this game and is only 0.1% of the way there. If I put 100 hours into a game, I would also want to fast track past these two middle fingers the devs threw in

donuts,

It’s not even their progress, it’s the percentage of all the people that have access to the game: steamcommunity.com/stats/2884590/achievements. So it’s probably worse

False,

I did it for the original Killing Floor because they had class features locked behind achievements.

Not every achievement is meant to be attainable (by everyone)

spankmonkey,

Unattainable achievements aren’t achievments, they are lies.

Some might be extremely difficult or tedious though.

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

I should qualify it as unattainable for most, though these two are just grindfests.

Kerb, do gaming w how would you rate your own beehaw username as a minecraft seed?
@Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

i only took a glance at the chunkbase so far, but kerb seems to be a 9 out of 10

a frozen ocean with lots of taigas and snowy plains and mushroom islands so close to spawn.
i only dont like the ice spikes

Gamers_mate,

Nice I just had a look at the kerb seed and you start in a village which is another thing I like.

Sidyctism2, do games w I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

am i dumb or do those two achievements have the exact same requirement?

Gingernate,

Circumference of the earth 24k miles Distance to the moon 239k miles

Not sure why it shows the saame number in the achievement kinda weird…

DannyBoy,

Both is percentage of players that got the achievement I believe.

Gingernate,

40075020 would be a wild percentage

DannyBoy,

Ah I missed that part.

schnurrito, do gaming w how would you rate your own beehaw username as a minecraft seed?

you do realize that people from other instances than beehaw can post here too? :D

Comment105,

I’m from Estonian Lemmy, and I’m not even Estonian!

Gamers_mate,

Hi not even Estonian I tried your minecraft seed and it spawns me in a snowy taiga. :) https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/b7bd54e4-c24b-4eef-a17a-4c4dfe352641.webp

LallyLuckFarm,

D…Dad?

Comment105,

Your dad is a real motherfucker, Lally.

If my advice means anything, don’t get reunited.

Gamers_mate,

Is this a movie reference?

Comment105,

You’re a motherfucker with your human rights violating humor. Also, dads are motherfuckers. Also, the user who thought you were theirs shouldn’t get back in contact with a dad that would subject a stranger to that kind of humor.

Gamers_mate,

Are you okay? I think this is a misunderstanding this is just some wholesome hi insert name I’m Dad type joke. I can assure you it has nothing to do with human rights.

Gamers_mate,

Your dad is a real motherfucker

I don’t get the reference but the seed does spawn you at a regular forest and an old growth birch forest. https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/32338256-290d-4e10-b9c1-92a26230b7b6.webp

Gamers_mate,

Yeah I said beehaw because I was posting it in a beehaw community though this can apply to anyone who sees this in the fediverse. Would be a silly thing to gatekeep. :)

ryathal, do games w I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

Is it not possible to just run in a circle endlessly in the game?

caut_R, do games w I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

Some games just put in bs achievements like these to tempt people who care about that to cheat or waste their time to a degree that would make anyone shake their head.

I think achievements should be a framework that ensures the player has the ability to verify whether they have seen all the content the game has to offer (think secrets or easter eggs, hard to find sidequests) and as such had the full experience. You got platinum? You’ve seen it all, thanks for playing, see you in the next one! They shouldn‘t be frustrating or disrespectful to the players time.

Arguably even difficulty achievements aren‘t great in terms of accessibility, although I do understand that those are quite literally „achievements.“

This is just my own stance on them.

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

No one is forced to do achievements to enjoy a game. I understand achievement hunting, but since they can easily be cheated (on steam at least) it really is only a personal goal. If you are not enjoying one just forget about it.

caut_R, do games w Fields of Mistria review: A boring, soulless Stardew reskin

Everyone can have their own opinion, but I also encourage everyone to form their own opinion.

In my book the game‘s a fantastic 7/10 cozy game. I don‘t think the game‘s passionless at all. Every Friday evening I‘m in the bar checking what the townfolk is up to and the content is already enough for me to be satisfied for the ten-ish bucks I‘ve paid, the promise of future content is just the cherry on top.

I wouldn‘t recommend this over SDV to someone who hasn‘t played SDV yet, but for someone who‘s done with it, I‘d recommend giving Mistria a shot. Not every game has to be a 200 hours timesink for me, and an hour in Mistria before bed is really just cute, fun, and relaxing - a great cozy game.

Still a fan of the player mocking in The Stanley Parable around achievements.

One example has the narrator taking you on a chain of complaints starting with “…Are you seriously just doing this for the achievement??”

AnarchistArtificer,

Yeah, that kind of mocking is a direct attack at me, and I honestly like it because I feel like my weird achievement hunting is definitely mockable (especially because I already know how ridiculous I am and thus will not change in this respect)

gamerbro83, do games w Nintendo Confirms Backwards Compatibility for Switch Successor!

Considering its going to just be the switch platform with better specs and maybe a new gimmick i don’t see why this is a suprise.

Because none of what you’ve said is actually confirmed yet

CalcProgrammer1, do gaming w My Experience With The ROG Ally Z1E (Windows/Bazzite)

I should install Bazzite on my Ally and give it a try. I have Arch on it now, dual boot with the Windows 11 it came with. I want to keep Windows on it as I use it as a low powered Windows runner for GitLab projects, but Arch isn’t as nice to use on it as I wanted and if I’m just going to be gaming on the Linux side, immutable is fine I guess. I recently tried playing Fortnite on my Ally and it ran well, I have a Steam Deck for things that already run on SteamOS and I much prefer it to the Ally so if I install Bazzite it would just be for comparing vs the Deck and to experiment.

xavier666,

IMO the only advantages the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck OLED are

  • VRR with 120 Hz
  • Anti-cheat support
  • Slightly more powerful chip

In every other way, the Steam Deck is superior (interface polish, battery life, HDR, touchpad).

VintageTech, do games w Nintendo Confirms Backwards Compatibility for Switch Successor!

I would love to say this is going to flop, but in the States people pay $1k for telephones and $600+ for consoles and then pay a monthly fee to then use those devices.

Brumefey,

1k for phone ? Iphone pro max are now close to 2k …

VintageTech,

What??? I’m way out of the loop.

Dr_Box, do games w I spent 6000+ hours of my life building this character

I thought that was eq1 at first glance

Hackworth,

Ditto, I was about to start waxing poetic about my bard.

Hux, do games w I spent 6000+ hours of my life building this character

I looked up my old character just the other day—my account must had been compromised because all of my gear was gone.

I could totally see myself going back to play again and pick up where I left off (after 18 years), but I don’t think that’s possible anymore.
