jimnorth: But if I just go around telling people how great I am at video games, I'll look like a big egotistical jerk!
If Steam goes around telling people how great I am at video games, however, I'll look like a big stud and get all the hot chicks and fame and money and sweet cars for my mansion!
Tarnicus: Screenshot or it didn't happen! lol
See that's what I like about 'my day'. Given the lack of achievements, I could TELL people about how great I was at gaming(HAX!) and now Steam has gone and ruined that! I can't hack the software to make my characters overpowered. I can't exaggerate how great I was at challenging parts of the game by repeating other people's stories that I'd heard...it explains the poverty that has ensued in my life as I grew up in a wealthy household and barely have 2 coppers to scrape together! F*K U STEEM!
mm in my day if somebody bothered telling you what they had done at all, then you can damn well bet it was an achievement.
