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?
Nethack, ascending a Caveman, Wishless, polyselfless, Genoless:

My first was a Valkyrie, and I’ve gotten a couple of wizards to the bar, but Caveman was a challenge
“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.
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
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
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
Platinum in all Yakuza games.
My platinum in Bloodborne.
Fuck you Defiled Amygdala. Go eat a Winter Lantern.
SL1 Dark Souls run. Should specify any%, I definitely skipped a good few bosses, and just abused pyromancy, but I did get to the credits with SL1.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided non lethal playthrough
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!
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)
-
Champ 2 in Rocket League I suppose.
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
Mare Nostrum in Europa Universalis IV. Restoring the Roman Empire was the first big achievement I got in the game.
Clutching my team in a 1v4 with a ghost pistol gun in Valorant. My entire team was cheering me on in the chat. It was very memorable
