I was in the Top 20 leaderboards in Fight Night Champion at one point. Then people figured out how to hack scores and I was bumped off.

Completing the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight, and beating the true final boss of Enter the Gungeon both come to mind.

I raided at world top 50 level for a little while in wow (many moons ago). Dropped the game after that lol.

Staged a coup in my Archage guild, we managed to get away with basically all of the guild assets.

Joined guild, made friends with one of the officers and his small in-group of pvpers. Was a reliable asset and helped us get a couple of merchant ships and a galleon, plus had farms just full of high value trade packs.

Problem was the GM and I didn't get along very well. She wanted to dictate how we named the ships in a way that I felt was cringe as hell and generally wasn't open to input or criticism at all. One day I logged in at like 2 or 3 am when no one else in the guild was online and I just left the guild. Next day I logged in and sent messages to the people I'd made friends with and told them the GM kicked me, since it was well known she didn't like me.

Stoked the flames for an hour or so and convinced most of the in-group to quit after we took all the assets we could. Drew a giant dick with barley plants on the front lawn of the GM's player house and then they all g-quit.

She raged for months, shouting in global chat that we were a bunch of pirates anytime she saw us, and tried to gank us multiple times, poorly. It was glorious, but I never told any of them what really happened.

We also invented boatnado. The bouancy physics had a fun glitch where you could make a merchant ship spin on its end at an ever increasing rate and the mast would just fire any ships that got too close off into the horizon. Never fully managed to weaponize this discovery, but we had a ton of fun with it.

I think, probably....spending many hours over a few weeks helping people experience and love Journey after I got my White Robe. Twirling around on the sand dunes, exploring strange places, avoiding danger, and finally seeing them pass through that mountain.

For me every time someone stuck it out added to the memories and I hope each of them remembers that chirpy white robed player who made the game just a little more fun.

There's 3 that come to mind. I've beat Dark Souls 3 and all it's DLC at level 1. I've beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight. And I've beaten all ascension levels for all characters in Slay the Spire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight.

That's really impressive. I can't even beat Pantheon 3. That fucking Zote just keeps fucking me up. Even when I do beat him, I usually get too anxious, make many stupid mistakes, and die to Hornet. I can't even practice on Sly yet.

I can't wait for Silksong. That will fill my day when it comes out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. Keep at it! The P5 grind was one of the most fun gaming challanges I have done. There's also only one boss that I have not beaten on Radiant difficulty (Markoth is pure cancer).

I've long given up hope on Silksong. It won't ever come out. My personal theory is that one of Team Cherry had a major life event and production will never resume.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I don't want to get your hopes up. I didn't find out about Hollow Knight untill after all the dlc came out. I haven't been waiting that long, just a couple years, so I'm probably not as jaded as the rest of the community.

It looks like that it will come out by the end of the year. I forgot what I read exactly, but some paperwork getting processed. Of course I will gladly put on my clown make-up when December comes and goes with no word from Team Cherry. 🤡

100%'d blast corps back in the day, caught the hylian loach before there were any guides about it in ocarina of time.

And more (but not terribly) recently, I completed an 'all bosses' challenge run in terraria in which I made all naturally spawning blocks indestructible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Making myself known on the Dreamcastic Channel on YouTube by playing Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 with none other than Pcwzrd.

He was either ‘Teal’c’ or ‘Afro Thunder’ on there.

This was before I started over when I got another working copy of PSO after the other one broke.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Successfully dodged WoW back in the days, got a degree instead. The only winning move is not to play.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dead Rising, Zombie Genocide achievement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

God I hated that game, half of it was load screens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I was just happy to have a 360 as a kid, and a game my parents should have know better about getting me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I had quite a few top 100 or top 50 in the world damage parses in different points in WoW.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

6 solo wins in a row on Fortnite. Decided thst i couldn't stop playing until I lost after the second win.

Got stuck in a glitch Fortnite game with NO STORM. Took over an hour to find everyone and get the win. Had to just fly around in a helicopter until the last dude shot at me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Going the whole distance in QWOP

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I've platinumed every version of every FROM Soulsborne game on every platform that has trophies/achievements.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Got every achievement in Terraria and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even the Stanley Parable one where you have to not play the game for x years?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I cheated that one because the game hasn't even been out for 10 years, so no one can get it legit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Me and all members of my clan (9 players) in the top20 players in battlefield 1942 desert combat mod. We were from a stupid small village, lived and breathe that game.

Before Markus starting saying racist shit, or Q-anon shit, or anti-trans shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That sucks. I did not know about that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Professional Halo player. Signed a contract to play, but never got the chance to play the following season.

100% achievements in Celeste.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Back in the day, I could finish Fatal Frame 2(Wii edition) in under 3 hours. I had played it a lot so my camera was is "festival" mode and full upgraded, so I could pretty much kill a ghost on sight which sped things up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.

My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.

Sadly I don't have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.

I have been considering revisiting the game but it's a big game with ALOT of content. I don't know when I'll get around to it.

Good times and Good memories.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

For sone reason I used to think they were visual novels.

But these games look nice, I'll be giving them a try sometime.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Anytime I finish a game is a pretty big achievement. Lots of games I play and just either get bored of or forget about. Stray, Cyberpunk, Subnautica, Outer Wilds, etc… I just can’t seem to finish games. I’m now trying to play RDR2, so hopefully I can complete it. Hogwarts Legacy is the latest game I’ve fully completed (last year), but I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I feel like that helped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lol jesus christ red dead 2 is outstanding but so long... you picked a doozy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’ve completed GTA 5 a handful of times, so I’m hoping that because it’s a rockstar game, I’ll be able to finish it… But only time will tell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I rarely finish games but rdr2 is one of the few I did finish.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I beat Mario Lost Levels once. On the SNES with saves, but I beat it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Managed to reach a rank of 2450 in World of Warcraft 2v2 arena. It took an incredible amount of much time and effort, and I have accepted that I will never be as good at anything ever again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I used to be a (semi)pro gamer! Basically the college football of gaming... But like... It was Team Fortress 2 so it's more like the college mens Volleyball of gaming...

Anyway!

RGL Advanced Highlander Season 5 - Grand Finals.

lay civ 5 vs I Hate Mondays

Neither team was favored to win the season but after multiple upsets during playoffs, they both ended up there.

It was EXTREMELY close!

The first round on Ashville went to I Hate Mondays with every round being almost dead even.

The second round, on vigil, went to a tie breaker within the round as lay civ 5 and I Hate Mondays trade blows. Eventually lay civ 5 got the points.

With a score of 1-1 the game went to a tie breaker on swiftwater...

Round 1 went to I Hate Mondays by about 30 seconds.

Round 2 was incredibly close. Both teams had better scores but ultimately lay civ 5 won with literally 0 seconds left on the clock.

The final round... The tie breaker of the tie breaker...

Lay civ 5 starts and gets a solid time. About the same as round 1...

And just like round 1, I Hate Mondays manages to sneak away with an extremely close victory. Making them the unlikely champions of Season 5 Advanced!

Despite division dysphoria having an undefeated score and even Home Depot Esports having more wins than both of the teams in grands... I Hate Mondays took home the gold and I firmly take the credit for it!

Of course... I was playing for lay civ 5... But I promise you... I was the reason that I Hate Mondays won.

Was the first one dropping the Cloak of Defiance when it was released, in Path of Exile.
Partaking in a giant "MergerSmash" in Planetside2. 336vs336 of pure madness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

beat my uncle on red alert :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I realize that this is only an achievement to me, but when I got the Poeples Hero achievement for Skyrim. I was playing through as myself, trying to help everyone I could. I just wiped out the Dark Botherhood and it popped up. I was honestly touched, as I really cared about those stupid digital poeple I was saving. It made me feel like I was really making a difference.
