Convinced my friend that the Jesus bus in GTA 1 could drive on water.
I beat Factorio without using belts.
…
No, I’m not a masochist, why do you ask?
Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems… very tedious.
I’m guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?
I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.
Basically, also trains, so many trains.
So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.
I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I’ve basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.
Mine? Not much… I obtained all the achievements in WWE 2k14. That included some online only achievements that required certain ranking position. Not much I know.
Also obtained all achievements in the mass effect trilogy (which isn’t that hard tbh) just time consuming.
The first that came to mind is 100%ing the OG Crash Bandicoot on PS1.
Back when you could only get a level’s gem if you didn’t use a checkpoint.
Getting a gem was also the only way to save. Crash Bandicoot may be the only game series where each new game is easier than the one before it, and Crash 3 was still one of the most challenging games on the system.
When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, you only owned a few games if you had an NES or SNES (or Sega equivalent) even if you rented/played a lot of them. So, I got insanely good at the few games I owned. After I beat Street Fighter II with every character on the highest difficulty, I decided to beat the game using only one button (plus the D pad, obviously). Finally did it with Chun Li and X button.
With Super Mario World, the hardest personal challenge I did was beating every level except the switch blocks. There’s a bunch of secret exits where switch blocks are supposed to be the way. It took a lot of cape+blue Yoshi shenanigans to get that one done.
Now that I’m old (or least older) and games are way longer, my biggest accomplishment is actually finding time to play a game all the way through, much less do side quests. I made time for BoTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, and Hades. But if I stop playing a game for awhile, I forget all the controls and that’s the end of that game.
The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.
First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.
Thousands of hours in Skyrim and I’ve yet to kill a bunny once. To be clear, this is intentional. I wish no ill on the bunnies. Just happy that I’ve somehow managed to not kill one accidentally.
Hollow Knight 112% completion is what I’m most proud of. It was hard!
I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.
I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.
A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.
She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.
Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.
I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.
She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.
Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.
I beat Mario Lost Levels once. On the SNES with saves, but I beat it.
Top 150 ranked in world on Company of Heroes 1v1 a long time ago lol. Got to play against some of the #1’s - one of them left to join the South Korean military I heard. Got stomped but was fun.
I was pretty damn good at C&C Generals: Zero Hour back in the day. Damn I wish they remastered that game.
Was ranked on global leaderboards in Dota for a brief moment, too. Top 1%, but never close to the 0.1%.
My favorite moment in gaming was playing a sniper in Red Orchestra in a large 64 player game. Huge map. All game I’m sniping people left and right. Not dying once. Meanwhile throughout the game, like 30 minutes, the enemy sniper is equally decimating my team’s ranks. I was hunting for him the entire game to no avail. Then, while prone I crest this ridgeline to scout a valley below and as I pan my scope to look all the way down toward the other side of my ridgeline, I see the other sniper lock with me at Exactly. The Same. Time.
We both fire.
And since Red Orchestra actually tries to simulate ballistics, we both hit each other and die.
I beat Halo 2 on legendary. I also refuse to attempt that again and haven’t bothered playing legendary at all on any Halo in over a decade. Pretty sure my thumbs will not do that anymore.
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.
Got all achievements in The Binding of Isaac (flash version).
Going the whole distance in QWOP
