So, legitimately, I knew a guy at a place I used to work who prided himself on his PlayStation trophies, because he had hundreds of platinums. Hundreds. Like, legitimately, nearly every game he played, he platinumed, and relatively quickly too.
But I know some of them weren’t “legit”. Guaranteed he was using a save editor at the very least.
I just couldn’t fathom why. He’d been collecting them for years, since PS4 launch basically, and putting so much time and effort into it. Dude was entering his late 20s and I felt so bad for his future self that will look back on all the time spent on this and be angry at himself.
Yeah I felt the same way about the guys who played soccer in my high school class. Fuckers don’t know the trophies won’t mean anything when they’re dead!

Hope he was streaming or something at least.

Everything won’t mean anything when we’re dead.
Seems dumb to gate keep who has a valid hobby.
Not everything needs to be in service of achieving conventional definitions of success.
Can’t tell if you got it, but yeah, that was my point.
I feel sorry for you if that is all a school sport is to you
It is almost as if that was my point.
Why would streaming make it anymore valid? If he enjoyed it, who cares if it was a waste of time?
