It’s not an achievement, but this is pretty rare

I don’t meet many people like you anymore.

damn, y’all, how big were the dinos back then ?
Big enough to screw up the platters on my hard drive when they stomped by!
You had to walk into the computer to catch the bugs.
'cause we’re dying of old age? :P
Oh hey


Wait for me!!

Ah, not quite as long as I’d thought
Twinsies!

Shit, 17 days apart lol. Did you also get a copy of Half-Life 2 for Christmas?

I think I bought the Orange Box? Or HL2 for myself.
21-ers unite!

Soon


Twins! I suspect we both bought cszero at the same time

Golden oldie checking in


Had to look it up, you got Steam 4 days after it went live!
I was busy the day they went live.

I remember watching in amusement as my housemate was extremely angry that day and thought “this thing is not going to catch on”.
My roommate was super excited and kept calling me at work to let me know how rough the launch was going with the servers having trouble!
I was a bit skeptical that it would last more than a few years before it would be a subscription model just to use it because of networking and infrastructure costs. So glad it has turned out the way that it has!
I’m just 4 days after you. What’s up, fellow old person?
I only have 16 years, Finally I feel young again!
Slowness to adopt new technologies is a sign of old age 😁
Or that we were children with gameboys
Get off my lawn, damn whipper snappers!
I was very anti steam when it first came around and only got an account once CS forced me to to continue to play. My join date is the beginning of 05 so you must have been a super early adopter!
Ha, this is almost my story too. Hadn’t played CS prior though, I got enticed in by CS:S and bought Half Life 2 and Steam just for that.
I started out on CS 1.3 and Day of Defeat, I played source a lot too but then after that lost a lot of interest in it. I tried playing CS: Go for a while but it was never the same as those early days in LAN cafes and on shitty slow internet :D

Hello, fellow eldritch being!

Fellow 22 checking in.
This was my senior year of college. I would stay up all night playing Counterstrike and Day of Defeat.


You guys were just a few days too late… I remember wanting to stay up to make my account, but I had school the next morning so I did it when I woke up
I win! 😝I was working a double shift on the day it was released so didn’t get it until the day after.


Funny to see so many other people all starting at the same time.
It’s right around the time steam went live to the world
Hell yeah, brother

21 here, I too am old as hell
Just hit 22 this month.
adjusts glasses and knees pop
Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a 4 digit account?
Mine was a 5 digit the evening of release, gotta be pretty early to get a 4 digit
Can’t figure out how to post an image, but I have you beat by less than 24 hours! (September 15th, 2003)
And I thought my 17 years were long xD
Old Timers Club!!
What about the inverse?
I got Satisfactory before the 1.0 release. I played most of the game before achievements were added. Now the achievement for “reaching the credits” is achieved but “finish the tutorial” is still waiting to be done.
Wow that’s hard to figure out, I went looking for games I had the most achievement completion and tried to find which one had achievements most people had that I didn’t:
- I never scored 6 goals in one game in Rocket League (60.5% of players did)
- I never stabilized Gale’s Orb in Baldur’s Gate 3 (44.8% of players did)
- I never became the champion of Fort Joy Arena in Divinity Original Sin 2 (42.2% of players did)
- I never saved the Printer in Dishonored 2 (31.2% of players did)
Steamvault.dev makes this easy.
My best is 43.8% from AC Mirage, a hidden one called “The Shadow and the Flame”.
Cool site thanks for sharing!
Napoleon Total War. Not sure if I was achievement hunting or not but it sounds fun.

Not as rare as some others, but takes a little while to achieve:

Still working on Super Go Outside
Hahaha I have that one, and got it fair and square.
Ohh, right. Thanks for reminding me that I can get this one now.
I also got that one fairly.
0.4% Pillars of Eternity 1: No Rest for the Pro. Complete the game with fewer than 10 rests.

Somehow I’m among the 6.1% of Stanley Parable players with this one.
I’m number 10 on the Stanley Parable Worldwide Leaderboard.
And how does a person actually get it?
Supposedly you just get it randomly, or posts on the web say you can modify an config file then use a console command to get it.
the developer kept changing the unlock criteria to deliberately troll the players - while it’s appropriate for the meta commentary of the game, it made sure I’ll never play one of his games again D:

No offense, but that’s just a very dumb reason to miss out on games that you’d otherwise enjoy.
You do realize they’re not like a part of the actual game right? Nobody is making you do this.
I wasn’t that much of a fan of Stanley Parable anyway, that sort of humour is not really my jam 🤷

For that game they are definitely part of its poking fun of videogames and gamers, it has other achis like not playing for 5 years, or playing for the entire duration of a Tuesday.
Nobody is making you do this.
Agreed, nobody is forcing me to play his other games either :) I just don’t like trolls, whether game developers or not 🤷 I’m one of those people who doesn’t separate the art from its artist.
I also got bored of the Stanley Parable, it reeks of a period on the internet that I’d like to be dead history. Granted, if this was babbies first meta-commentary then I understand why it seems so profound to so many people.
My view on this game is that it, much like Chronotrigger, is very bland. It introduced young people to a concept they weren’t familiar with, like time travel or meta-commentary.
If it’s for you, it’s for you. I’ll reserve what I think about people who (for some reason) could not conceptualize what time travel was before Chronotrigger, I will treat the SP the same way.

That’s the point - they don’t.

Definitely not as rare as most of y’all and probably only as rare as it is because of how many millions of people play stardew valley without ever even trying the arcade machines.
Back when RDR2 was fresh on PC, dinked around once with the death match modes and never again lol.

My rarest achievement is from The Long Dark (Finely Tuned) at 0.1%. But that’s because not many people played the last episode when it came out.
My most memorable is from Titanfall 2 (…Becomes the Master) Place in the top 3 of the Gauntlet scoreboard. That one is at 2.9%
Nice, i didn’t try to get Finely Tuned mainly because i haven’t bothered with a second chapter 5 playthrough. Mine is the 1000 day Interloper one at 0.2%, took me two years haha
One of the rarest achievements I have is not at all difficult. It’s not even trying to be. It’s on Street Fighter 5 for saving 30 replays. Apparently nobody does that?

0.4%

Woo fellow (trans?) Stellaris player!
0.2% and still not the rarest achievement in the game!



Damn…
Rarest

Proudest (Love this game, highly recommend)

I’m glad to learn about Everhood this way. Do you recommend part 1 or 2 more?
To be honest, I haven’t actually played 2 yet. But the first game holds a special place in my heart.
The online consensus seems to be that the sequel has stronger gameplay and maybe even visuals too (the psychedelics in both games are a real trip), but the original has a far stronger story. Again, I haven’t played the sequel, but I suspect you’ll be better served by starting with the first one.
A lot of people draw a parallel to Undertale, and while they’re quite different games mechanically I admit they have a lot in common between their themes, characterizations, and the style of the overworld. Music in both games slap too.
Like Undertale, the game does give you an option to do a Pacifist run. Where Everhood turns things on its head is that the Pacifist run is an extremely crushing story - without getting into spoiler territory, let me just say I see a lot of myself in the Forest Spirit’s philosophy. It’s left a permanent mark on me.
By the way, that achievement is an absolute bitch and it’s not even the hardest one. To put it in context, I held the number one spot on the leaderboard when I earned it - although they reset the leaderboards quite often, so you too have a chance to shine.
Thank you so much for the elaborate review. I’ll see when my backlog allows for a new game, but I’ll happily keep it on my radar for whenever the mood strikes me
I’m this many years old on Steam and don’t know how to find my achievements on the mobile app.


If you’ve unlocked the “rare achievements showcase” on your profile, presumably using the desktop app, then it appears on your profile on the mobile app, too.
Behold! Not even getting all that far in They Bleed Pixels is my finest achievement, with only 1.1% of other players managing the same. What you need to do is focus on games that are old and unreasonably bastard hard, and rare medals can be yours.
I believe the games which are openeded and only have whatever goals you set yourself, such as Paradox Map games or Cities Skylines are contenders for rarest achievements as well.
Especially when they have updates and new achievements added as time passes.
For Crusader Kings three as an example, most people can probably found the Dai Viet Empire - But only 0.3% of players has the achievement
What you need to do is focus on games that are old and unreasonably bastard hard, and rare medals can be yours.
I thought that and I looked at my showcase and they were all Modern Warfare (the first of the new reboots) campaign achievments around 0.3℅ and it made me embarrassed to post mine.
Seems you just need a major blockbuster where most people only play the multiplayer, which has also mashed all of its sequels into the same launcher and therefore included people who don’t even own said game in the “players who did not achieve this” percentage…

This thread is a self doxxing minefield
Being online is a self-doxxing paradise
ah fuck, now everyone will know that I’m actually a trash girlfriend alt account
Are achievements public?
Depends on your steam profile settings
