You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn't used to measure 'completeness' since that's primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.

Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.

Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.

Um excuse me, if one was talking to GenZ/Alpha you would need to translate it or they wouldn't get it

And, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga all the way back on the GBA had completion targets along with the earliest FF games I can remember I think

ETA: Oh and Chex Quest/Doom also had a level end screen that showed how many hidden areas and collectables you found to
