>some older games that dont have achievements
so make them. be an achievement pioneer

>>712626596 (OP)
Yeah I haven't touched any game without achievements. Such as Valheim

>>712626596 (OP)
literally me

>Not making your own achievements
Achieve some self-actualization.

Stop being gay.

I stopped giving a shit about video game achievements once I finally got laid at 18 so you should maybe try doing that OP

>>712626857
I'm 34 years old and married

This is how I got over it

>Stop playing games on console
>Pirate most games instead of buying them on steam

I don't care so much about Steam achievements because you can easily cheat and get them all, nobody gives a shit

It's so freeing not worrying about 100%ing a game. I played both Clair Obscur and Indiana Jones recently and just played enough until I was happy with them. Whereas if I was trophy hunting, I would have been playing both for an extra 20+ hours

you have some abysmal shit taste in vidya.

>>712626596 (OP)
why would it? if achievements are all you care about you don't like the game. just don't play it.

>>712627570
I've played a lot more, I just thought those two are prime examples of games that a lot of people who care about achievements would try to 100%.

That's another good point though, a lot of games achievement hunters won't even try because the lost is too hard. Not caring to opens up a lot more games to play

>How do i stop giving a shit
easy
don't give a shit

>>712626596 (OP)
I feel you. It's the main reason i still buy most games on playstation despite having a decent gaming PC. I really wish I could just stop caring, but it's basically the same as all the other little autisms that ruin my gaming experiences: forcing myself to talk to every npc, hugging all the walls to make sure i don't miss any items etc. I'd love to know if there's a cure for all this shit.

How does one get better at this? I made my first set last year and it took over 6 months of digging through memory, I almost wanted to give up near the end. I think the concept of making sets is fun but the fucking around in the memory not so much.

>>712626596 (OP)
I got over it after 91 platinum trophies by getting a job. Didn't have time to waste on meaningless achievements anymore. I just finish a game and move on.

>still giving a shit about cheevos

RetroAchievements is a lot of fun because the achievements are actually challenging to get, but /v/ is allergic to that sort of things

>achievement unlocked: pressed the X button 50,000,000 times
great

I just set my own challenges. After hollow knight's no death run, I went back and played a bunch of metroidvanias like that, which added a bunch of playtime to them.

>>712630331
It's more like
>Beat all bosses in Castlevania Dawn of sorrow without taking a hit

>>712628621
yeah im the same, but hey at least this means i buy some games physically too.
trophies just makes the experience richer to me, feels good to be "rewarded" for playing.

Once I realized most achievements are just tedious and not difficult I stopped. I'd rather something be hard than slow and not artificially hard like LASO on Halo or something retarded.
