Kayinworks - I Irrationally Hate RetroAchievements
kayin.moepreview
Sharing because Kayin’s talk about achievements made me think about why do I even accept them in games at all so I disabled them in Steam (the only way to do this is by disabling the whole overlay =_=) and found that I don’t miss them at all.
What’s you opinion on RetroAchievements, and achievements in general?

It’s a gesture from Dark Souls 3 that lets you point down. Immature players use it to say “haha owned you” to their opponents during PvP encounters.

Weirdly enough, I have a similar experience with Dark Souls. I love DS1 and 2 but I have basically no interest in most other Souls-likes.

Real life “accomplishments":
- Get attributed to $DEADNAME
- “See, you can do it when you aren’t being lazy!”
- Are a result of me getting lucky, not my skill or persistence
- Will be quickly forgotten by me in the next few days
Gaming accomplishments:
- Are a result of me doing my best (usually)
- Are connected to the name and avatar of my choice
- Will linger with me for years
- I had fun in the process

She’s so real for this, coming-outs fucking suck so much, cis people are so mean and often have no idea what gender even means. “So are you a gay (man)?” NO I’m a fucking WOMAN

Holy fuck there’s a chapter literally called “Laying hands on my students…”
Okay I had enough of this manga I guess :D

I played Super Mario 64 with a mod that replaces Mario with Madotsuki so I’d be in a pretty good position. Especially considering what kinds of games I usually play haha

I did find incremental progression games interesting in how they make the extrinsic motivation, the numbers-go-up system, the core game mechanic.
My experience with games like this (Cookie Clicker, Vampire Survivors, Wizard Tower, etc) is that they are a fun little distraction that gets boring very quickly. Like, they can captivate me for an hour or two but eventually it becomes blatantly obvious that this game just abuses my brain without providing an actually worthwhile experience.

They’re typically very noninvasive; you can ignore them, disable them
Notifications are inherently invasive. For many people, ignoring them isn’t a problem but not everyone is as lucky as you are. I disable any not-essential notifs anywhere I use because I can’t not being distracted by them.
As for disabling them, the only way to do this on Steam is (was?) to disable the entire overlay which is… a bit too much? I know many people rely on the overlay so they probably wouldn’t go as far.
But it’s also worth mentioning that the author of the article is a gamedev and there’s a whole additional layer of nuance in the discussion when it comes down to releasing your game without achievements.
Because, if you want to release your on xbox or playstation, you must include achievements and some of them must be attainable during a normal playthrough. This is the reason behind weird trophies in Deltarune like “buy an armor piece” and “equip an armor piece”.
Valve doesn’t force achievements on developers. But there is a very loud minority of gamers who love to demand. They will yell in the Steam forums, complain on Reddit, bang at the door of the developer’s Discord channel. It’s quite obnoxious.

My girlfriend tends to be a completionist as well. She would often try to 100% a game she’s playing, or at least to get as close to it as feasible.
But what surprises me the most about her approach is that she’s completely chill about it. She doesn’t force herself through miserable shit just to get an achievement.
And my experience with completionism is completely different. There’s always an achievement that plain sucks. Getting 100% in Dark Souls 2 involved a lot of boring grinding and getting through the game 2 and a half times on the same character. Getting 100% in Lunacid forced me to grind a useless spell from bunnies for two hours.
I don’t know, I just feel like it is better for me, my time and my mind to not see achievements at all, to not think about them and be focused on games themselves. The system is clearly not for me haha.

When playing trough a game the first time I never care about achievements. I do not disable them, but I just ignore them and don’t check which ones the game has.
I wish I could just ignore notifications and other distractions lol. Unfortunately I tend to lose focus easily from this kind of stuff. It’s particularly bad when developers add achievements to emotional/climatic moments. Like, why? Why do you ruin the moment with an out-of-place pop-up?
