Paul the Nerd on Nostr: I will never understand the fixation some gamers have with achievements and trophies ...
I will never understand the fixation some gamers have with achievements and trophies in #VideoGames. I guess they like the internet points.
"Oh look at me, I 100%ed a game"
Big whoop.
People love to complain about the "Ubisoftification of open worlds" and their check list nature, but love the check list achievements and trophies that don't really do anything to enhance the story, characters or world. Weird.
