Ask Lemmy

Staged a coup in my Archage guild, we managed to get away with basically all of the guild assets.

Joined guild, made friends with one of the officers and his small in-group of pvpers. Was a reliable asset and helped us get a couple of merchant ships and a galleon, plus had farms just full of high value trade packs.

Problem was the GM and I didn't get along very well. She wanted to dictate how we named the ships in a way that I felt was cringe as hell and generally wasn't open to input or criticism at all. One day I logged in at like 2 or 3 am when no one else in the guild was online and I just left the guild. Next day I logged in and sent messages to the people I'd made friends with and told them the GM kicked me, since it was well known she didn't like me.

Stoked the flames for an hour or so and convinced most of the in-group to quit after we took all the assets we could. Drew a giant dick with barley plants on the front lawn of the GM's player house and then they all g-quit.

She raged for months, shouting in global chat that we were a bunch of pirates anytime she saw us, and tried to gank us multiple times, poorly. It was glorious, but I never told any of them what really happened.

We also invented boatnado. The bouancy physics had a fun glitch where you could make a merchant ship spin on its end at an ever increasing rate and the mast would just fire any ships that got too close off into the horizon. Never fully managed to weaponize this discovery, but we had a ton of fun with it.

I think, probably....spending many hours over a few weeks helping people experience and love Journey after I got my White Robe. Twirling around on the sand dunes, exploring strange places, avoiding danger, and finally seeing them pass through that mountain.

For me every time someone stuck it out added to the memories and I hope each of them remembers that chirpy white robed player who made the game just a little more fun.

Successfully dodged WoW back in the days, got a degree instead. The only winning move is not to play.

I have two:

1. I was the main tank of a raiding guild in WoW during the Burning Crusade era. Our guild was the best on the server, but nothing too notable outside of that community. However, when a new quick raid encounter came out (Magtheridon's Lair), we unintentionally completed the encounter in a novel way. I know that because the next week when we went to clear it, a developer whispered me and asked me if he and a few others could watch us because they noticed through some automated log to prevent cheating that we completed the encounter last week without engaging with a major mechanic of the fight. They let us know they were there, but you couldn't see anyone and when you looked up the character name it wouldn't show up if you searched the name. We showed them how we did it, they congratulated us for our ingenuity then told us they were changing the encounter for next week. It was really cool.

2. A few years ago I got into Enter the Gungeon. For those unaware it's a bullet hell, rogue-like, dungeon crawler with a steep learning curve but great graphics and snappy controls so it is a great time. The first time I beat the game I posted a screenshot on Reddit and the entire community was convinced that it was fake because of my build and the lack of max health I had. At first I was annoyed then I realized that if they didn't believe me then it meant I did something, literally, incredible.

I raided at world top 50 level for a little while in wow (many moons ago). Dropped the game after that lol.

There's 3 that come to mind. I've beat Dark Souls 3 and all it's DLC at level 1. I've beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight. And I've beaten all ascension levels for all characters in Slay the Spire.

Making myself known on the Dreamcastic Channel on YouTube by playing Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 with none other than Pcwzrd.

He was either ‘Teal’c’ or ‘Afro Thunder’ on there.

This was before I started over when I got another working copy of PSO after the other one broke.

Dead Rising, Zombie Genocide achievement.

6 solo wins in a row on Fortnite. Decided thst i couldn't stop playing until I lost after the second win.

Got stuck in a glitch Fortnite game with NO STORM. Took over an hour to find everyone and get the win. Had to just fly around in a helicopter until the last dude shot at me.

100%'d blast corps back in the day, caught the hylian loach before there were any guides about it in ocarina of time.

And more (but not terribly) recently, I completed an 'all bosses' challenge run in terraria in which I made all naturally spawning blocks indestructible.

Going the whole distance in QWOP

NB: this was before

I beat Mario Lost Levels once. On the SNES with saves, but I beat it.

Anytime I finish a game is a pretty big achievement. Lots of games I play and just either get bored of or forget about. Stray, Cyberpunk, Subnautica, Outer Wilds, etc… I just can’t seem to finish games. I’m now trying to play RDR2, so hopefully I can complete it. Hogwarts Legacy is the latest game I’ve fully completed (last year), but I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I feel like that helped.

Got every achievement in Terraria and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

I had quite a few top 100 or top 50 in the world damage parses in different points in WoW.

I've platinumed every version of every FROM Soulsborne game on every platform that has trophies/achievements.

Convinced my friend that the Jesus bus in GTA 1 could drive on water.

Long time ago, I would play Transport Tycoon (Deluxe?) all the time. I had this just about fully built map, I was forced to optimize everything because the game didn't allow any more railway stations or depots to be built.

One day, the news pops up that my company will go bankrupt if performance doesn't improve, I find myself in a balance of some number starting with -2.147... I couldn't find a way to the positives to save my company so I reloaded last save, I purchased the max amount of trains and carriages to sell when the apocalypse happens, I would build a significant amount of the map in railway that I could get refunded. No way I could achieve over 2 billion in one year.

Eventually I learn that the max value a 32 bit processor can have is 2,147,483,647, until it flips over to -2,147,483,647. I had become so successful that the hardware in my PC couldn't handle it! I take plenty of pride in this achievement. I actually beat an endless game.

I used to be a (semi)pro gamer! Basically the college football of gaming... But like... It was Team Fortress 2 so it's more like the college mens Volleyball of gaming...

Anyway!

RGL Advanced Highlander Season 5 - Grand Finals.

lay civ 5 vs I Hate Mondays

Neither team was favored to win the season but after multiple upsets during playoffs, they both ended up there.

It was EXTREMELY close!

The first round on Ashville went to I Hate Mondays with every round being almost dead even.

The second round, on vigil, went to a tie breaker within the round as lay civ 5 and I Hate Mondays trade blows. Eventually lay civ 5 got the points.

With a score of 1-1 the game went to a tie breaker on swiftwater...

Round 1 went to I Hate Mondays by about 30 seconds.

Round 2 was incredibly close. Both teams had better scores but ultimately lay civ 5 won with literally 0 seconds left on the clock.

The final round... The tie breaker of the tie breaker...

Lay civ 5 starts and gets a solid time. About the same as round 1...

And just like round 1, I Hate Mondays manages to sneak away with an extremely close victory. Making them the unlikely champions of Season 5 Advanced!

Despite division dysphoria having an undefeated score and even Home Depot Esports having more wins than both of the teams in grands... I Hate Mondays took home the gold and I firmly take the credit for it!

Of course... I was playing for lay civ 5... But I promise you... I was the reason that I Hate Mondays won.

Professional Halo player. Signed a contract to play, but never got the chance to play the following season.

100% achievements in Celeste.

I beat Factorio without using belts.

…

No, I’m not a masochist, why do you ask?

Back in the day, I could finish Fatal Frame 2(Wii edition) in under 3 hours. I had played it a lot so my camera was is "festival" mode and full upgraded, so I could pretty much kill a ghost on sight which sped things up.

I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.

I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.

A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.

She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.

Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.

I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.

She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.

Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.

I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.

My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.

Sadly I don't have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.

I have been considering revisiting the game but it's a big game with ALOT of content. I don't know when I'll get around to it.

Good times and Good memories.

Getting all Dark Souls 1 achievements.

beat my uncle on red alert :)

I realize that this is only an achievement to me, but when I got the Poeples Hero achievement for Skyrim. I was playing through as myself, trying to help everyone I could. I just wiped out the Dark Botherhood and it popped up. I was honestly touched, as I really cared about those stupid digital poeple I was saving. It made me feel like I was really making a difference.

In my entire life I've spent less than $50 in micro-transactions.
