Post the most annoying retro achievements that make you ask, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

NUGGETS

>>723286143 (OP)
There was one that required me to dox a literal baby. I don't know what the fuck that was about.

I'm not underage, I don't need MUH CHEEBOS to play older games.

>>723286143 (OP)
how bad are the achievements for OoT and MM? i don't think i can get a RetroArch core for N64 that plays nice with Vulkan so i haven't tried any N64 games yet.

>>723286274
Idiot, his own wife doxxed his baby

As long as you ignore the subsets they are doable

OH BOY I LOVE OFFSITE DRAMA GENERALS! BUT DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT A NEW GAME FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES!

>>723286391
i imagine there's some 3 heart ones? i've always wanted to give that a go, probably the only way to have a challenge playing them nowadays.

>>723286497
the FF7 set is pretty annoying so far, there's multiple boss related achievements that basically require you do a bunch of grinding to fulfill the absurd clear requirements like beating Bottomswell using only limits

Every single VHard remix achievement. Anyone who has tried this hack probably knows what I am talking about.
Thank you so much from turning something cool and fun into pure aids.

Don't reply to the people who want to get these threads deleted by mods. They're the same people who mass reported Bahamut's archives, their goal is to silence all discussion about this videogames-related topic.

>>723286606

most of these clowns are fucking stupid and doing it to one of the most popular RPG games is beyond nigger tier behavior.

"4chan isn't buying the selfdoxxing crap, now what"

>>723286940
after that he tried the "his wife fake doxxed him using a pic of their newborn kid as a way to make him spend more time with his family and less on RA" and it was even more ridiculous

>it was untracked
>RACheats didn't say why

What the hell are they thinking? This isn't the first time they've untracked without giving a reason, which is already terrible. But untracking the user instead of trying to fix the problem he pointed out? What a horrible website.

Its on page 2 now, https://ff5central.com/achievements/demotion-of-developer-fbernkastelkues-of-retro-achievements/
Because they said this

>>723286370
I remember some achievements requiring conflicting playthroughs, like achievements for 100% completion but also for beating bosses with only 3 hearts or some shit. Not unreasonable, but I don't think it can be done all at once
I ended up playing a decomp instead but that feels kinda dramatic to admit now

>>723287424
>>723287940
oh i didn't see the links up top. good riddance, that dude was a massive faggot

>>723287814
So? It's not mutually exclusive to dislike both the userbase which Bluesky has molded as well as the userbase which 4chan has gradually formed within its 22 years of existence

So if the mods can restore deleted accounts then why don't they do so right now? Oh yea they wont cause wrongthink

Ignore the newfag

>scott is the problem, the admins are heckin' based
about that...

>>723288661
Hexa is just being used by xkeeper.
Considering the mod team is watching I hope you guys just wake up on this sort of thing if you haven't already.

>>723288882
Do not allow xkeeper to contribute any code to retroachievements, since I heard he has already tried, reminder what this dude does.

>>723288882
no see im the admin of tcrf so i know what im doing reeee give me mod reeee

Who's been leaking all the modchat and tele's server logs to 4chan and kiwifarms?

Would those PRs be public? I don't see anything on github unless he deleted them after being ignored.

they're baby easy

so is scott the doxxer?

>>723287932
So, anon, did you submit a review?
There doesn't seem to be any open tickets, any complaint about it in the comments, or anything in the official forum topic. Seems like you're part of the problem.

>>723289702
After the investigation the whole team was certain BV doxxed himself, it wasn't just tele. He had motivations to do so.
>hated the censorship decision
>hated the site bowing down to the mob
>faked dox to martyr himself

Hi tele you faggot

>>723290649
his own newborn tho? pfft yea cmon man

>>723286226
I set my profile picture to nuggets. What if I just went on a forum post that Punchy was on, and replied to him, "agreeing" with whatever he said. No calling him Susan, no smugly talking about nuggets, just an ordinary post. Would he get mad at my avatar? I'm deleting my account anyway, might as well have some fun.

>>723290835
I'd be much more skeptical like you if it happened in a public place, but it was just a private message.
>After all this, I get a message. There is a screenshot of me saying that I do not want to prevent Clover from getting achievements. I keep being asked why, and why I'm ignoring the messages. At this point I have barely slept as is and and I'm definitely not at the computer.
>Then a picture of my newborn is posted.
Not crazy for him to DM himself a picture of his own newborn.

>>723290649
Cultivating the narrative that a father would use his newborn child as part of a gambit for leverage in internet drama is a level of deranged that only bluesky trannies could concoct.

>>723291403
>Cultivating the narrative that a father would use his newborn child as part of a gambit for leverage in internet drama
Strange way of saying "DMing himself a picture of his own child."

>>723291159
that doesn't make any sense tele

>>723291634
Which part do you need help understanding? I'm citing the BV leak directly. The alleged dox happened purely in a DM, nowhere else.

>>723290649
>>723291543
>>723291891
Nobody's buying this damage control.

>>723292175
Did you really think the dox occurred outside of his own DMs? It didn't, BV himself said so. You should read his pastebin, you'll learn a lot.

>>723290649
Was getting demoted from mod status also part of his 5D chess move?

>>723286143 (OP)
https://retroachievements.org/achievement/262007
just look at the comments. if you've seen the leaks you know the "developer" of the set is part of the cheats team. it was literally made to catch out cheaters and not to be legitimately mastered. the entire set is cancer. see also gradius ii on arcade

>>723292572
Presumably he cared more about saving the site than being a mod.

>>723292717

>>723292994
No contradictions spotted

The silver lining of tele posting this inane shit here is that he's removed every shadow of a doubt that he's not as vile as the rest of them.

>>723292864
Yeah, it's pretty simple. He was willing to give up his role on the site in order to save it. That's what the word "martyrdom" means.

>>723292972
Not Tele and explain how this is damage control, exactly? Nobody here actually read BV's pastebin and is assuming lots of wrong shit, so I'm just helping them know what BV actually said.

>>723292994

>>723294047
I'm pretty sure most our interested is vested in anti-censorship sentiment at this point. This place is the one place left discussing it where trannies aren't able to manipulate the narrative and that makes them seethe like nothing else. At the end of the day most anons don't really give a fuck if zoomers need bingbingwahoo cheevo dopamine to play games or not beyond general contempt for achievements as a concept.

>>723293816
Why did you put dox in quotes? That does fit definition of a dox, using someone's private information as a means of intimidation or humiliation, even if it only happens in DMs it still counts as a dox, and he obviously is not gonna include any of his own private information on the pastebin.
And no, "He was willing to give up his role" sounds like complete bullshit, you're painting it in a way that makes it seems like he knew how Scott would react to this information, like he's Eric Cartman planning some convoluted shit that would only work in cartoons.
And like he said in the pastebin, taking away his mod status plants a big target on him, without any mod powers everyone is free to say whatever the fuck they want and he can just sit there and take it. Perhaps even more trannies got into his DMs to talk shit now that he no longer had mod status and couldn't do shit.
This whole "Oh, he doxxed himself!" is all a very obvious and convenient excuse to attempt to sweep it all under the rug and be free of all the blame, and the fact that you even came here to try and keep pushing this insane argument speaks a lot of you.

>>723294280
>Why did you put dox in quotes?
Because DM'ing yourself isn't really getting doxxed.
>And no, "He was willing to give up his role" sounds like complete bullshit, you're painting it in a way that makes it seems like he knew how Scott would react to this information
No, you don't get it. He didn't know what Scott would do, but he was willing to lose everything he had on RA if it would, in his mind, save RA.
>without any mod powers everyone is free to say whatever the fuck they want and he can just sit there and take it.
This is so unbelievably fucking retarded. He was on the mod team for years. You think the second he loses his status he also can't contact any current mods?
>Perhaps even more trannies got into his DMs to talk shit now that he no longer had mod status and couldn't do shit.
Obviously not because if that happened, he would've said so.

Apparently when BV loses mod, he can no longer contact any other mods. This is actual brain damage tier logic.

achievement of the week

>>723296171
"Achievement of the week", it's one of their reoccurring events since 2014. One achievement averaging 1-2 hours of completion is chosen among 5 games via forum/discord voting of those who cleared last week's selected task and earning a minimum weekly threshold nets you a profile badge for the year's event. Has also a few catch-up mechanics for those who have skipped a few week, like lifelinesbwith points that can be earned by clearing monthly achievements voted in the same way, these being generally longer to get (about 5-6 hours).

It's agreeing with the point of that post.

The quote has absolutely happened as of late, with anons in these threads repeatedly trying to pretend they care about RetroAchievements in order to continue posting about this drama, even though discussion was minimal and mostly limited to derision at its existence before any of this drama happened.

Yes, you do need to work on your reading comprehension if you don't realize that you're just corroborating that post.

>It's agreeing with the point of that post.
No, it not and don't pretend otherwise. The "arguing in bad faith" argument on that anon's part does not fly when there has absolutely not been the case any other time RA has been brought up on this board pre drama for the better part of 3 years. it's the reason OPs about this ongoing drama have been blatantly vague and innocent just to draw others in to talk about drama faggotry instead. Just because I'm arguing in earnest what the other anon is also doing but in a duplicitous way to bait (You)s doesn't mean I'm furthering his point to spread misinfo; it's disingenous at best and a weasel behavious at worst.

Here's another way to frame the gotcha you're trying to pull on me. "How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast today?"

>>723298915
In other words, you're seething about something completely unrelated as is customary of people who want to blame all their problems on Christianity.

>appeal to ESL
Nice deflection, try again. You missed an "it not" instead of an "it's not" and a 'behaviour' mispelling by the way, so arguably YOU are the ESL of the two for not noticing.

>>723300508
>Nice deflection, try again
It's not deflection. It actually muddles what you're trying to say to the point that you need to try again to clarify what you meant, my third world friend.

After thinking about it a little, here's what I believe went down.

>even before the Pokemon Clover situation, BahamutVoid was bothered by how things were being handled internally by the RA staff, and was possibly already keeping logs
>then the Clover shitshow happened: the admins reached a consensus to allow Clover, and published a statement. Scott suddenly came in and overruled their decision, releasing a second statement less than 24 hours after the first one, that reversed the admins' decision and got Clover banned from the site
>the admins get very upset at Scott for how he handled the situation, tele steps down in protest; the community forums are a mess, with users being banned for speaking up against games being removed for being "offensive"
>a few days later, BahamutVoid quits and shares a long write-up on Pastebin, along with extensive leaks from the admin section of the Discord server, and soon after erases all his online presence
>these leaks clearly show how hard RA is being mishandled, even before the Clover debacle, and also reveal his doxxing incident by a fellow admin
>meanwhile, in talks with Scott the remaining admins (including tele) discover that his stance is not as firm as it seemed, being mostly a knee-jerk reaction, and that he's open to the idea of a mature content filter instead of banning games; the filter idea had been floated before by the admins, including BahamutVoid, but never implemented
>Scott and the admins agree that a content filter is the path forward, but now there's another problem: the leak was full of content harmful to the site's reputation and credibility going forward, and not just things about the Clover fiasco

>>723300706
2/2

>they conclude that they need to limit the Pastebin's spread among the userbase and also discredit its content if they want things to go back to "normal", but they can't really dispute most of the stuff on it because BahamutVoid published receipts for them
>after some brainstorming, they realize they can focus on the one thing that BahamutVoid didn't provide receipts for, due to the personal nature of it: his doxxing, where he was threatened using photos of his newborn child
>they come up with the following narrative: BahamutVoid faked his own doxxing, in order to appear as some sort of martyr (?), and provide only a few bullet points as evidence, which don't actually prove any of their claims
>by presenting BahamutVoid as a crazy person, their aim is to discredit his leaks, and limit their spread by not allowing them to be linked since they're considered "misinformation"

What do you think, anons?

Bahumutt maded up the dox so she could have an excuse to leak it sensitive infomartion , youre a retard if you dont agreed.

>>723300706
>>723300745

>>723300706
>>723300745
this pretty much sums up what i think is happening as well. the chatlogs that show what a bunch of inept assholes they are, and how fast they were taken down is very revealing

>>723300745
>What do you think, anons?
I think you're probably right

There's a lot that makes sense but a lot that doesn't, and some points are just factually wrong.

>>723300706
>these leaks clearly show how hard RA is being mishandled, even before the Clover debacle, and also reveal his doxxing incident by a fellow admin
No. It revealed some mismanagement but it didn't reveal another admin doxxed him. He alleged another admin doxxed him.
>>723300745
>they come up with the following narrative: BahamutVoid faked his own doxxing, in order to appear as some sort of martyr
No. If you read what Tele said about the team's conclusion, they never said anything about martyrdom, and they didn't say BV definitely faked the doxxing. They said they're certain the leak came from BV's computer, whether he was compromised or not.
>appear as some sort of martyr
No. It's not about "appearing" as a martyr, it's about being a martyr.
Exactly like you said, he hated how things were handled. I explained a primary motivation he would have to lie about the dox is to reverse the decision, which was literally his #1 demand in the mod chat leak. Scott immediately shot down the idea of reversing the decision at that point, but BV still wants to reverse the decision. He correctly thinks it's horrible for the site. So he escalates by making the story and leaks public and leaves.
It has nothing to do with "appearing as a martyr."
>by presenting BahamutVoid as a crazy person, their aim is to discredit his leaks
This makes no sense. Where's the proof? When have they said BV is a crazy person? They said they were certain the leak came from his computer, but aside from that have never impugned his character.
Where have they discredited the leaks aside from that one time Scott said "lol guys there's some stuff in there that's definitely wrong" and then never elaborated? Other than that one time, nobody has ever implied any of the leaks were fabricated or unreliable.

This is also dumb. They could just ban linking the leaks because they're leaks.

He never confirmed someone doxxed BV. Read the leak.

Nothing he said ruled out BV DM'ing himself. Nothing that's come out contradicts what he said.

How can people spend hundreds if not thousands of hours grinding achievements on there, then just say 'fuck it, nuke my account lol'. I'd be too much of a pussy to ever speak up.
I remember playing shitty GFWL games just for Xbox achievements with a pirated Windows and was scared MS would ban by gamertag over it, lol.

If you think this is true, why would the "obvious mods" ITT keep directly referencing the Pastebin and the leaks? Have there been any posts saying the leaks aren't credible?

>>723287103
The leaks say exactly why he's been banned.
You can look it up yourself.
Get fucked cheater.

I've been doing Ratchet UYA and it's a pretty basic set. Some dumb challenges but most are simple, and the majority of them are just skill point requirements.
The bonus subset is the real shit though.
The big meme of the bonus subset is "Enter Challenge Mode for the 99th time" (preceded by "Enter for the 50th time".
The subset has the following individualized challenges that could be their own playthrough
>Beat a game with only X weapon (x4)
>Complete the game without dying in one session
>Complete the game without dying (Saves allowed)
>Complete the game in first person mode
>Obtain 99,999,999 bolts (will require multiple playthroughs)
>Complete the game in 4 hours or less
The fly in the ointment though is the last one
>Complete the entire game without dying in NG and NG+ in one session
Which means you can't transfer your main game save (if that was allowed)

>>723306020
What did the leaks say?

>>723287103

In Aria of Sorrow you can skip some parts of the game, including a difficult boss fight, by clipping through walls and doing precise moves. He did these moves in softcore, reloading save states multiple times, then saved the game and resumed in hardcore.

Been loosely following this the past few days, what is this "untracking" that's been mentioned? I also have been seeing people mention that cheaters are running rampant on RA and invalidating hardcore.

>>723317932
>what is this "untracking" that's been mentioned
you get untracked when the cheat team assumes you are a cheater through a somewhat arbitrary process
no appeals either, I believe
you can also directly for your account to become untracked
it means you are no longer going to belong on leaderboards, including the general rank system on the site

post your last 5 played retro games

>>723318082
NICE TRY

>>723318049
Is there any way to see if this applies to my account, or do the admins have the courtesy of reaching out to you beforehand? This is the first I'm hearing of being untracked.

>>723318142
I'm pretty sure your site rank will say "untracked" publicly

>>723317932
> I also have been seeing people mention that cheaters are running rampant on RA and invalidating hardcore.
Cheat team makes guesses on cheaters because the site tools are shit and lead coder admitted you can't stop people just recompiling out the hardcore checks

>>723309632
Yes, and for some reason you're ignoring the fact that he did all this live. He knew what he was doing. He didn't do it to take advantage, he did it to show the flaw. He said it on the damn live. The moderators just ignored the fact that this flaw in RA exists (for years) and preferred to untrack it rather than try to fix it.

>>723318326
it involes actual coding.......

None of you use RA. You're literally only trying to force drama that everyone has moved on from. Word of advice, the biggest issue with the site isn't the admins, or the trannies, or even the achievements. It's none of that. RA's main problem is that ever since GameCube implementation was added it has exploded in popularity, with people joining at an insane rate every day with little to no interest in playing old games. Most of the vintage systems like NES and PCE get ignored because the newfags only play PS1 games and later. Now that Wii support is coming in 2026 the problem will just get worse; you already have retards who basically don't play anything retro at all asking if RA can add support for PS3 and 360, which is so fucking stupid and ass backwards it shouldn't need to be explained. The site has a serious existential threat now not just because of this recent troon coup, but because it's really only "retro" on paper and not in execution. If you don't believe me look at the home page, it's advertising Spyro Reignited and Phantom Hourglass alongside the MSX set and an NES aotw. The most recent mastery is a PSP game. Nearly all the forum activity is about hacks and homebrews. No one gives a fuck about the classics anymore and it should raise more alarm bells than Scott's ineptitude.

>>723318796
The truth is actually playing Retro games is something few people do, much less grind them out for autistic achievements. The idea of the website is an extremely niche one so this is the only way it can grow, and it growing supersedes its original purpose. Ironic.

>>723318656
If you don't realize, they can't fix it.

>>723318549
I've seen several attempts at the first idea over the years but they never get off the ground and die. My assumption is people who actually play with retroachievements have a higher chance than the average /v/ user to actually play games. The higher that chance rises the less likely those people will come here to post.
These threads never survived until it became about the drama.

>>723318949
You're telling me they can't implement some sort of check for whether or not you're in Hardcore or Softcore, and if you save a save file in Softcore, it hits the check to make it no longer valid in Hardcore?

>>723318796
Which thread did you pull this copypasta from?

>>723290507
>devs have a duty to read the site's rules
>I'm the one who has to tell them to read the rules

Look, if the dev doesn't do the bare minimum, why should I? Remember, the site doesn't tell us all the rules when we create an account; we're forced to look them up. When you become a dev, all of this should already be clear, so I don't see why this should be my problem.

And another thing, knowing the site and the arrogance of many devs with their stupid "get good" philosophy, they'll just make a stupid excuse and things will stay as they are. The loophole is already there: "well-known glitch passes," and I've seen this used for glitches that only speedrunners knew about.

>>723286478
Why do that?
Doesn't Susan like nuggets?
Even if not, that's pretty violent anti-nugget response.

>>723318796
I know you. I also agree. PS2/GC brought in too many zoomers. They're not even "retro".

>>723318910
>the only way it can grow
No one cares about growth Scott. This isn't a fucking business that you try to make money of.

>>723318949
Okay, okay, they can't, I'll assume you're right.

>They were untracked because someone pointed out the problem and warned that it should be fixed.

I don't know if you noticed that this is still an idiotic attitude on their part... And the administration continues with this SURREAL philosophy of not informing the reason. The guy who had to look for the reason proved it by showing that RACheats didn't send any message.

>You will be arrested! Your crime? You know! We don't need to answer!!!

RA is run by 1984 fans, that's the only explanation.

>>723288449
Tranny cope.
Half of RA is 4chan users.
Have you seen how many people wanted Pokemon Clover?

>>723319391
a 25 year old console isnt retro?

>>723318796
Anon it's a fucking library and it should be treated as such.
Libraries don't exist to force people to expand their world view and knowledge, they exist to give people the opportunity to CHOOSE to expand their world view and knowledge.
Would the world be a better place if anyone who went to a library was required to read Shakespeare before taking out a magazine? Maybe, but it's more important that there are people who CHOOSE to do so without prompting.
I could argue that everyone on the site should play through Dragon Quest 1 to understand an important piece of history but I'm okay that there are people who will instead play 40 romhacks of Pokemon Red. Maybe someday they will play Dragon Quest 1, maybe not. All that matters is the option is there.

>>723319025
Differentiating save files between hardcore and softcore would require deep interference into an emulator itself, to which no emulator dev would agree for multiple different reasons.
So no, they can't do that and that's why the fucking rules exist, not because of some midwit trying to feel smart.
Good riddance he got untracked.

>ignoring that the PS1, GameCube, PSP, etc., are already retro and classics.

Bro, what's your problem? People like YOU are the site's problem. New users are always good, the goal has always been to grow. "What I like has arrived on Zoomers, it's over!" is a childish mentality; you're the retarded one here. You want to close yourself off to a smaller group to feel special, when people playing on the GameCube, PSP, etc., don't interfere in your life at all. You idiot.

>>723320001
No and it never will be. The PS1 isn't retro either considering how many modern gaming trends began on it. If people didn't go out of their way to ignore the first two decades of gaming history this wouldn't even be a debate.

>>723318796
I'm in my 30s and I played PS1 and PS2 games when I was a kid.

>>723320787
I never said anything about zoomers nor am I acting elitist. I'm literally just pointing out that most people on a site with retro in its name are not actually playing retro games and you're seething about it.

>>723320948
>The PS1 isn't retro either considering how many modern gaming trends began on it.
Super Mario Brothers had a jump button in a sidescroller and we're still doing that, so NES isn't retro either.

>>723318796
hi tele

Only two ones I "seriously" played recently. Rest are all 0 achievements, just casual time killing / checking out.

Someone's trying real hard to paint tele as the bad guy on every RA thread. Probably himself so he can protect his buddy Scott's reputation.
Let's not forget the real retard here for kick-starting this whole shitstorm - Scott himself.

There's zero need to "try" to paint tele as a bad guy.

>>723321096
You started off angry that so many people came here for the GameCube. I'm sorry to tell you, but the GameCube is already retro, deal with it.

>most people on a site with retro in its name aren't actually playing retro games

Yes, they are. The GameCube is retro, period.

What bad thing did he do, besides posting a single stupid idea?

>>723318796
Hate to break it to you, but the NES sucks. Nearly every game on it is SHIT. 4th gen to 6th gen is peak retro gaming. Deal with it, nigger

>>723323668
Browsing 4chin?

>>723318796
lol, this is only a problem if you actually unironically take the site's name at face value
Most just see it as the site that gives games you can run on emulators achievements, and even that its growing past with stuff like FFXI (PC) and Terraria being on there.

>>723323668
Coming onto a thread so you can sound like you're breaching 60 years old?

>>723321096
>>723318796
The majority of people interested in cheevos for X generation of games already came by when that was new and relevant.
GCN is the newest thing so that's why most users are joining now. Simple as.
And more generally, the site's general unspoken aim is to cover every console that lacks achievements/is able to be seriously emulated. These are the only things really left that they could do:
>Wii (confirmed for next console being added)
>Xbox
>PS3 (has been extensively talked about)
>Xbox 360 (ditto)
>DSiWare (if it isn't added already)
>3DS (already has listings on the site)
>Nintendo Switch (iffy but it'll obviously end up being a goal)
>Nintendo Switch 2
>minor consoles that are not named here and have active/completed emulation projects
>PS Vita (big iffy one but it could probably happen)

I don't see PS4/5/6 or later Xboxes happening simply because 99% of those games are on PC and emulation isn't entirely up to snuff yet.

>>723321096
>nor am I acting elitist

>>723324240
DSi is already supported, and there are a ton of older systems like DOS confirmed already on the rollouts schedule

>>723318796
>>723321096
>>723324240
Also, the actual biggest issue is how fucking lazy non-Nintendo set devs are, not who is showing up. I don't give a shit who is using the site, I don't engage in the larger community.
Like, here, look at this:
The N64 has 388 games according to google
On RA, the N64 has 466 sets.
The Sega Saturn has "over 1000" according to google.
How many sets? 155.

N64 has already gotten 3 sets this month.
Only 3 for Saturn even appear in the "New Sets" list, going back to at least August.
I'm not even a Saturnfag, but it's just weird.

>>723324896
saturnslop doesn't deserve achievements, go play a good game like transball

>>723324896
Romhacks/Homebrew being added en masse every day is a real problem. I'm here to play old games, not to play the same game 30 times with slight mod changes. Imagine how weird it would be for Steam, Playstation, etc. to do this. RA always uses the excuse of "it's for the community," and that's exactly why it's never taken seriously. If the admins/devs hype an idea, any excuse will be used, like the Pokemon Clover case. "Our job is to archive," literally lying to defend romhack, unbelievable.

>>723324896
weird you mean the mega hit Sega Saturn which was an extremely successful and popular console doesn't have a lot of people with nostalgia for it?

>>723324896
I saw some devs talking about it before, and the biggest barrier there is that almost all of the Saturn's games are only in Japanese, and not very well documented

>>723325427
There are more sets than there are games for the N64

>>723324896
>>723325468
I heard some systems are complete anus to develop sets for too due to how the emulators handle memory.

>>723325519
huh almost like these consoles performed differently when they were released or something...

>>723325683
Both the N64 and the Saturn failed anon.

the n64 sold 32 million units over its lifetime. the sega saturn only sold 9 million. are you getting the picture yet

>>723326094
And the Xbox Series X sold 30 million, and the PSX sold over 100 million, are you understanding that the N64 being outperformed by prior consoles was bad and that it was generally considered a failure? That they wouldn't cancel a major addon if it was a success?

>>723286143 (OP)
I had a look at their achievements a while ago and it's all retarded bullshit like Super Mario 64: 0/1,827 achievements, Touch a Star while at precisely the 31st frame of a backflip.
Absolute nonsense that only 0.001% of giga autists will ever bother trying to obtain and complete

>>723326251
I'm out of the loop, why the fuck a ff5 site has so many articles about this whole debacle?

>>723326545
That's wholly fucking irrelevant dumbass.
They didn't just even the entire Super Mario Bros. series after a game sold less than SMB1, because they all still sold well.
The N64 literally failed to the degree where the DD did not launch, and the DD was significant. It was the N64's FDS, and it didn't launch outside Japan and never got many games because the console failed. Simple as.

>>723326810
hey dumbas
fucking dumbass
the dd failed, not the 64 itself

>>723326851
The DD was shutdown before it had a chance to fail retard. That's why barely any games even came out on it beyond the launch titles and why so many games were able to shift away from it without severe issues.
The reason why was because it was on dead hardware, which is why the N64 had the shortest life cycle of any Nintendo home console next to the Wii U. Guess what those two have in common?

>>723326739
I've noticed that Nintendo achievement sets tend to be more autistic, I've mastered a bunch of Playstation games without too much trouble.

>>723326251
I genuinely don't understand what this has to do with Clover.

>>723327074
32.93 million worldwide when gaming was still a somewhat niche hobby, obliterating an actual failure, the wii u

>>723327182
>32.93 million worldwide when gaming was still a somewhat niche hobby,
It wasn't. It got outsold by the NES and SNES. The PSX sold over 100 million units despite launched over a year prior to the N64.
Again, a success does not leave expansion hardware on the cutting room floor. Just ask the FDS.

>>723327326

>>723327179
Because they banned clover from RA, these people left since they didn't like the direction the site was being taken or just in general got banned in the discourse over it.
Though I know wimpyfox had his entire account deleted by scott but someone else just restored it.

>>723327404
Nintendo's expansion into lifestyle hardware/software was an eventual failure, which is why that didn't get made retard.

>>723319737
no appeal either. if the cheevos broken and you still unlock it, you get untracked anyway

>>723327497
>Eventual failure
>Eventual

>>723327556
Yeah. It started successful and then stopped being successful, which is why they stopped doing it.
The N64 wasn't successful in general, which is why the DD never got fully released.

>>723326793
>I'm out of the loop, why the fuck a ff5 site has so many articles about this whole debacle?
The ff5 site owner sells ff5 romhacks which I were hosted at RA for free at some point, hence the beef. He made sure to document that part extensively in the timeline.

>>723327596
the disc drive was never released internationally because the disc drive failed in japan
this isn't hard

>>723327483
I don't understand the problem with Pokemon Clover being banned. Will this prevent them from playing other games or enjoying what the site has to offer? The "they're censoring and that's bad" talk should also apply to games like The Guy Game, since "censorship is bad in every situation," supposedly. Why don't they use that argument for this? Huh... This insistence on Pokemon Clover is really weird to me...

>>723327768
> Illegal = Delete
Literally everything else should be on the site, we don't need the retro argument that people playing games automatically agree with the game's message

>>723327768
The Guy Game is actually illegal to even own, while Clover is just a edgy ROM hack.

>>723327540
Imagine a world where Steam, Sony, and Microsoft banned anyone who unlocked buggy achievements... and didn't report them when they had a problem...

The insistence on punishing players for a dev's poor work is laughable, and all to protect a rank that rewards you with... NOTHING. What's the point of having a rank in the first place? To stroke your ego?

I'll say the same thing I said above, about the dev literally not doing the BASICS of reading the site's own rules: If the dev doesn't do the bare minimum, I don't owe them any satisfaction for doing it either. It's a top-down problem, not the other way around, period.

>>723328002
it isn't illegal to own.

>>723327768
They don't particularly care about taking down games of questionable legality unless it's a slam dunk case like The Guy Game, unless it's convenient for them (such as appeasing an angry mob of axewounds).
In a previous thread, someone linked a post, from KF I believe, explaining that there's 600+ people in RA who played Nintendo World Championships 1990 and how incredibly unlikely is it that all of them did it legally considering there's about 400 physical NWC1990 known to have ever been awarded by Nintendo.

>>723326308
Tele is one of those devs and he started to suck tranny dick again.
So there is hope for DOS sets.

>>723318656
>He didn't do it to take advantage, he did it to show the flaw.
Did he report himself to admins at all? Did he reset the achievement and earned it legitimately? Of course he was taking advantage.
And this "obscure" flaw had been already explicitly prohibited by the rules for a long time.

>>723327540
You're supposed to reset achievements that trigger incorrectly and report the issues, but even if you don't, achievements have edit logs, so RACheats team will know when it's developer's fault.

>>723300662
And here it is, appeal to ESL again. Having no other argument in your arsenal apparently, I accept your concession. Now go try being a stuck-up pretendo Grammar teacher octagenarian somewhere else seeing as it's the only way you can crawl out of an argument you can't even address.

Also is the the guy who created that RA mascot?

>>723329379
>Did he report himself to admins at all?
He showed it on the live stream, he said he was going to do it, and told the website to fix it. So obviously yes.
>Did he reset the achievement and earned it legitimately?
No, because according to him it wouldn't make a difference. I won't defend this statement, even though he didn't gain anything relevant by doing so, it is indeed an improper use.
>And this "obscure" flaw had been already explicitly prohibited by the rules for a long time
Regardless of whether it was already known, he did it to report it. Especially since, according to him, practically every player he knows who doesn't stream has used it or still does. And in fact, you only get caught doing it if you're live.

Moving away from his own case and speaking generally, the Brazilian moderator "hotscrock" said they were already aware of the problem, as you're saying. However, THERE WAS NO INTEREST in correcting it.

So the question remains: if there's no interest in correcting it, why is there interest in punishing it?

I guess they're still riding the palestine virtual signalling train.

>I haven't seen any troons complain about the jew jokes in Clover
I saw one or two on the forums

>>723334128
that and vandash are the only thing they complain about
guess spics are free game now

>>723334307
Naturally, they're all nazi chuds

>>723333195
Literally one of the things in the complaint states that you can only catch someone using this cheat if the player is recording a live stream. I don't do live streams, so I won't get caught. It's that simple. Since the administration doesn't want to do anything, then fuck it.

>>723334515
they really think that lol

>>723334307
It's hilarious that they try to use guilt by association, pointing to a couple of 'bad' ones to make people think they're ALL bad. Meanwhile, a decent chunk of the dex is just silly jokes that aren't even TRYING to be offensive.

Funny how they never mention the cop pokemon that is a literal pig. Or how the actual neo-nazi NPCs are all forced into an island because the rest of the region hates them (an obvious analogy to /pol/).

>>723337885
That would require them actually playing the game to know any of that. They don't care. Nuance doesn't matter. If any ONE piece of something is objectionable (regardless of intent), then NONE of it should exist

Oh shit

>>723341684
lucky you. I got 20+ requests and nobody wants to touch them. or a dev picks it up for a month then drops it without comment

You guys are doing your part, right?

>>723341958
that's Clover, right? if so then yes

Fucking based

oh cool i was actually playing BF1 on PCSX2 for the first time earlier this year. i had never played it before except for the PS2 demo disc that had the Kashyyk level, but i played the shit out of BF2 as a kid so it was cool finally going back and experiencing the game that started it all. how do the sets look? anything egregiously autistic?

>those achievements aren't even made by the developers but by random (sometimes literal) trannies that fill them with speedrun autism
why would any self respecting male ever entertain this idea

we're all trans here sister, welcome to the club

Yep. Every bit helps: https://retroachievements.org/game/11575

>>723344147
Even official achievements can have retarded shit like "be number 1 ranked in the world in multiplayer".

Question, when you say ban you mean getting kick out or getting untracked? because i see untracked users playing just fine.

All things considered, it's pretty hillarious to think that Scott went from open gloating over the tranny takeover to radio silent and now negotiating with tele once he realized that forums where he can't just ban all discussion about what he says in public exist.

>>723348779
there's untracked and then there's flat out account deletion which is what happened for example to wimpyfox (reversed) and BH
you can voluntarily ask for an untrack or a deletion, the latter takes two weeks for it to go through unless cancelled

he started bleeding patreonbux as well, it wasn't a ton at first but it was enough of a drop to make him scared
