Maybe it’s that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it’s the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog.
What achievement are you proud of?

“Elden Ring” achievement in Elden Ring (obtain all achievements.) I am a very casual gamer and I played very little of dark souls 3 but I couldn’t get past the tutorial boss so I gave up. I heard many great thing about Elden Ring so I decided to give a FromSoft game another try. The freedom of that game made it really easy for a casual player like myself to go my own pace and get used to the i-frames. I fell in love with the game and my first play through I used as many summons as I could but my other play throughs I hardly used any. It turned me into a gamer that dodged and used parries which I never did before. Very good game and I’m excited to play the dlc.
You should give the older DSs a try again (and Bloodborne if you have a PS for sure). I still prefer the first DS. The combat is slower and easier, and generally just not as good. The world is amazing though. There’s still no other game like it. The way it all links together and has tons of paths that connect different pieces of the map feels amazing.
If you do decide to play DS1, remember what you learned in ER about feeling free to leave and try something else if it’s too challenging. Especially at the begining there’s several paths and some are harder than others. One small spoiler is everyone says to avoid the catacombs at the start. There’s an item you can get there that let’s you heal more though, so it’s actually helpful to grab earlier, just a pain in the ass. It’s your call on that. There is no wrong path, but some are more right than others.
Being (briefly) 9th in the world at Unreal Tournament. :)
Now this is luck and not skill, but I traded Pokémon in Pokémon GO with a friend. When you do this, the Pokémon you send to your friend rerolls its IVs. The Duskull I sent him rerolled its IVs, the Buneary he sent me rerolled its IVs, and we both ended up with perfect-IV Pokémon.
(I’m a 100-IV aka perfect-IV hunter in Pokémon GO. In the mainline games, I tend not to care as much.)
Was it a lucky trade?
Yes!
I don’t achievement hunt but getting one that 0.5% of players achieve feels good. One in particular is “Humble Pie” in Stellaris.
Humiliate an Empire that is in the Supremacy Diplomatic Stance, forcing them out of it
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
Beating COD: MW and the remastered campaign on veteran.
For me its between my first FFXIV Twintania or WoW Arthas 10 Man hard first kill.
I don’t know what it is about first kills with a group of players in an MMO, but weeks of work and collecting gear for a hard fight and then beating it is super rewarding
Either platinuming sekiro or beating devil may cry 5 on dante must die difficulty, I’m not sure which is better. Platinum sounds more impressive, but according to steam achievement stats dmc5 dmd is rarer so I guess I’ll pick that one
Nethack, ascending a Caveman, Wishless, polyselfless, Genoless:

My first was a Valkyrie, and I’ve gotten a couple of wizards to the bar, but Caveman was a challenge
Back in the days I was one of the first to get the Loremaster achievement on out server in WoW. It basically meant doing every quest in the game.
Another one is not so much a coded ingame achievement, but I can do The Secret of Monkey Island from beginning to end without hesitating at any point. Most of Monkey Island 2 too, but som parts still gets me.
In the original FF7 I beat Emerald and Ruby Weapon without doing the chocobo breeding minigame to get Knights of the Round. Yuffie, her ultimate weapon Conformer, and a really excessive number of counterattack materia does wonders.
There’s two actually and both are pretty niche but I’m proud to have accomplished.

I love to surf in CSGO/CSS/Momentum Mod and at the time of writing I’m top 1.4% of a large server on CSGO of people who surf which isn’t amazing by any means but feelsgoodman.

I managed to finish a 16 star “run” on Super Mario 64 (wasn’t fast but was super fun and the child in me was in amazement)

After years of grinding, I’ve reached a solid foundation in 2d fighting games.
I’d say Hyper Light Drifter’s 800-dash challenge. It was dumb and daft but boy am I still proud I got it done.
Did you do it manually?
Yes, although I think with the sound turned off so it wouldn’t distract me to get the rhythm right.
I got hooked on a game in college called Sveerz. It was one of those Wild Tangent games that came preinstalled on my laptop. I loved that game and played way too much during class. I managed to get the #1 worldwide rank by about double the next highest score, and I was crowned with an icon that called me “The One.”
Funny thing was, I didn’t realize I was anywhere near the high score. I was just having fun.
Red, yellow, blue, green. Sveerz! I loved that game. My husband hated it.
