Maybe it’s that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it’s the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog.
What achievement are you proud of?
“Elden Ring” achievement in Elden Ring (obtain all achievements.) I am a very casual gamer and I played very little of dark souls 3 but I couldn’t get past the tutorial boss so I gave up. I heard many great thing about Elden Ring so I decided to give a FromSoft game another try. The freedom of that game made it really easy for a casual player like myself to go my own pace and get used to the i-frames. I fell in love with the game and my first play through I used as many summons as I could but my other play throughs I hardly used any. It turned me into a gamer that dodged and used parries which I never did before. Very good game and I’m excited to play the dlc.
You should give the older DSs a try again (and Bloodborne if you have a PS for sure). I still prefer the first DS. The combat is slower and easier, and generally just not as good. The world is amazing though. There’s still no other game like it. The way it all links together and has tons of paths that connect different pieces of the map feels amazing.
If you do decide to play DS1, remember what you learned in ER about feeling free to leave and try something else if it’s too challenging. Especially at the begining there’s several paths and some are harder than others. One small spoiler is everyone says to avoid the catacombs at the start. There’s an item you can get there that let’s you heal more though, so it’s actually helpful to grab earlier, just a pain in the ass. It’s your call on that. There is no wrong path, but some are more right than others.
Now this is luck and not skill, but I traded Pokémon in Pokémon GO with a friend. When you do this, the Pokémon you send to your friend rerolls its IVs. The Duskull I sent him rerolled its IVs, the Buneary he sent me rerolled its IVs, and we both ended up with perfect-IV Pokémon.
(I’m a 100-IV aka perfect-IV hunter in Pokémon GO. In the mainline games, I tend not to care as much.)
Was it a lucky trade?
Yes!
I don’t achievement hunt but getting one that 0.5% of players achieve feels good. One in particular is “Humble Pie” in Stellaris.
Humiliate an Empire that is in the Supremacy Diplomatic Stance, forcing them out of it
Getting over it with Bennett Foddy(sp?) - completing the game 50 times. Once you’ve done it three times the other 47 are a breeze, just pop a podcast on. It’s the most fun achievement to show other people; they always think you’re a bit mad for doing it due to the game’s reputation.

My first was a Valkyrie, and I’ve gotten a couple of wizards to the bar, but Caveman was a challenge
Back in the days I was one of the first to get the Loremaster achievement on out server in WoW. It basically meant doing every quest in the game.
Another one is not so much a coded ingame achievement, but I can do The Secret of Monkey Island from beginning to end without hesitating at any point. Most of Monkey Island 2 too, but som parts still gets me.
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
Being (briefly) 9th in the world at Unreal Tournament. :)
There’s two actually and both are pretty niche but I’m proud to have accomplished.
-
I love to surf in CSGO/CSS/Momentum Mod and at the time of writing I’m top 1.4% of a large server on CSGO of people who surf which isn’t amazing by any means but feelsgoodman.
-
I managed to finish a 16 star “run” on Super Mario 64 (wasn’t fast but was super fun and the child in me was in amazement)
-
Beating COD: MW and the remastered campaign on veteran.
Platinum in all Yakuza games.
For me its between my first FFXIV Twintania or WoW Arthas 10 Man hard first kill.
I don’t know what it is about first kills with a group of players in an MMO, but weeks of work and collecting gear for a hard fight and then beating it is super rewarding
My platinum in Bloodborne.
Fuck you Defiled Amygdala. Go eat a Winter Lantern.
Either platinuming sekiro or beating devil may cry 5 on dante must die difficulty, I’m not sure which is better. Platinum sounds more impressive, but according to steam achievement stats dmc5 dmd is rarer so I guess I’ll pick that one
All the Slay the Spire achievements and did Ascension 20 until I could win most of them and get some streaks of like 5 or so at each character. I‘ve long since stopped and would lose a lot more now, but it was probably the most serious I‘ve ever gotten with a game.
