Your gaming achievements

[xXOpkillerXx]

Hello everyone! As part of a personal project I'm working on, I'm looking to validate certain things about assumptions/design decisions I've made so far. I won't explain it too much since that would defeat the purpose of this thread, but I have one vague question for you:

What are your proudest gaming achievements?

You can list more than one. Also here are rough examples of what I consider to be an achievement:

• Completed a certain game.
• Obtained a specific PS3 trophy.
• Ranked 6th on a certain leaderboard.
• Beat a particular level while blindfolded.
• Completed 50 speedrunning races.
• AAAA'd Excite Bike with your.....
• Etc

While the achievements can be pretty broad, please only list things you really are proud of (even if just a bit). Thanks!

Re: Your gaming achievements

I have a WoW character that has a thing that might be unique in the whole world

When Puzzle Pirates left beta and first launched fully, I was the first Greeter

I'm in a top 500 global clan in Raid Shadow Legends while being free-to-play

I was voted into the FFR Hall of Fame

I'm 5th among the staff for the most issues, bugs and typos fixed on my MUD, which has existed for over 30 years, with well over 100 staff

Now that I've answered, could you DM me what the thing you're doing is? I have a pretty strong idea, but I'm curious.

Re: Your gaming achievements

back when i used to play competitive smash between 2015-2020, i managed to get pretty good and achieved some of the following:

- made a bunch of really cool friends who i still hang out with to this day
- had a lot of really amazing experiences like traveling with my friends to tournaments and hanging out, and got to meet a lot of new people who were really cool

some of the more vanity achievements consist of
- was on the Arizona PR for top 10 players in the region for a small while
- was #1 Luigi in the state
- made some money from tournaments (not a lot LOL)
- beat Elegant in a bo3 set 2-1 (he was #15 in the world at the time and was #1 luigi in the world, beat him in the ditto)
- took sets off of other PR players in my state in tournament (tilted, coco, ronald, Cycl0ne, Eki, MikeAG, FrostKqt, Jinx, Sockem16 to name a few)
- Became a coach for a while and helped players who'd generally go 0-2 at locals to becoming actual tournament threats
- won a few regional tournaments/locals in AZ

time really flew by and i used to have such a passion for the game and competition, but as ive gotten older its hard for me to still want to compete. Though, it was very fun while it lasted

Re: Your gaming achievements

10th player in the original StarCraft 2 to get every achievements in the world. (that's probably the most insane race I've been part of)

2nd Assassin in a Ragnarok Online server to reach max level which was done in around 3 years playing around 12 hours/day which was a ridiculous commitment. (#1 got it like 2 days before me)

Won a local tournament of Unreal Tournament 2004 against a pool of players that included the #3 1v1 player in Québec. (The tournament wasn't 1v1, but we still had to deal with a guy that could kill 20 players in a row before losing 1 life.)

Found a collision glitch that allowed skips in Zelda: Link's Awakening before there was any site with those lists. (pushing pushable blocks while standing in the corner of the block at a certain angle so the game can't tell which direction you're trying to push. It would allow you to push a block on top of another block which was clearly not intended. It's hilariously exploitable in Eagle Tower, the 7th dungeon. I didn't even find the intended path of that dungeon up to this day, only the weird glitchy route)

There's probably other things, but it's not on the same level I feel. e.g: getting Perfect:1 in the N64 Perfect Dark's training simulator which takes months to farm (and that's if you know what you're doing). Every nadeo medals on Trackmania United & Forever. Mostly time commitment stuff over skills.

Re: Your gaming achievements

I don't recall specific moments when I actually felt proud of an achievement in the games that I play. If those proud moments exist, they are definitely short-lived and it's hard for me to remember them.

Most of the games I enjoy playing and my drive in playing these games (primarily League of Legends and FFR) are focused on self-improvement, so any small indication where I see myself improving as a player is one that I guess I'm particularly proud of. But more importantly, I would say that throughout the many years of playing these video games focused on self-improvement, I have grown so much as an individual and I don't think any game achievements I have can compare to the value of what personal growth provides for me.

If there's one thing to be proud of, it would definitely be how much I have personally grown through playing video games.

Nowadays, I don't have as much time as I did back then to focus on self improvement. I have been using both FFR and League of Legends as an outlet for my stress because it's definitely nice to let off some steam and hang around with friends who I have made throughout my gaming journey. They were part of my personal growth, and because of this, they will always be part of my group of friends regardless if I ever stop playing FFR and League or not.

Thanks to my group of FFRiends for always supporting me (both in-game and out) and being there for me in my toughest times. You guys know who you are and you all are the best

While these are so far the only achievements that aren't in the scope of my project, I'm glad you guys had success with that side of things!

Re: Your gaming achievements

Stepped over 100 songs for 4-key and got over 40 songs released on FFR.

Also, got a song author credit on an accepted chart in FFR (Submission Rules).

Re: Your gaming achievements

here's a few off the top of my head

> currently hold the speedrun WR for the Black Mesa DE NoClipping category
> reached top 5k in o!m a few years back and promptly stopped playing after LOL
> reached top 25 worldwide in toribash at some point (2015??)
> reached around 1750-1800 ELO in bullet on lichess (not a lot but im proud of it nonetheless)
> got the author medal on every Trackmania Nations track (even the Black maps)

and some FFR stuff too bc this game took up a lot of time in my teenage years

> 4th in hi19's Blitz tournament
> participated in the 12th official FFR tournament (it was fun just being a part of the action)
> lots of FC's that show my improvement over the years (to name a few: TWILT [Light], Rainbow Road (nanobii), CIA Rave, Tambourin Chinois, GABBA YAKUZA, Skeletor, and GOODTEK)
> the rare AAAs i get once every blue moon (e.g. Maelstrom, A Dream, and Missing You)
> although not on the criteria, being able to connect with fellow FFR and O!M players has been great; hopefully ill continue to do so in the future
