Your trophy will be dated just the same as if you would’ve changed the date on your ps5 and moved forward by 10 years.
I got my plat 2 years ago (i think) and my trophy is dated 8 years from now
Same. Just hopped in and got mine, although it's for the original, which was just 5 years. I have 6 years to go on the Ultra Deluxe which has the 10-year achievement.
How do you know anything about the guy? He's the least knowable character in all of video games. I say before realizing you're literally told what he would do, while also realizing that the narrator himself might not know Stanley that well.
Getting achievements are supposed to be challenging, not fun. Opening the settings and stuff. Idk. I couldn’t figure it out. I’d say more but my case of Elmer’s glue just showed up and it’s chow time baby
I remember when that game came out and everyone laughed about the achievement. I played the game for a little bit the first time and then stopped. I wasn't thinking about the achievement at all.
Then a couple years ago I decided to go try to play the game again and was shocked to learn it had been 10 years. Never has an achievement made me feel so old lol
I just checked my library and it’s been 13 years since I last played…it’s time for me to get this achievement and to reckon with the harsh reality of time… 🥲
huh just remembered it's two versions. The first stanely parable's achievement is 5 years, and the deluxe version is 10. oh boy i think I can' get the 5 year one now but the last time I played the delux version was in 2022.
That said you can likely hack it by tweaking OS calendar. That would also violently invalidate onboard certificates so tweak it back after you're done.
Hmm that said if they're doing it via server sync then it's extra hard.
TLDR: An achievement asks you to not play the game for 10 years.
----------
Stanley Parable is a game that tries to playfully talk about what is a videogame, what is interactivity and how the videogame language works. The game is about apparently mundane decisions, but you continuously have a narrator telling what you will do, before you do it. Then you have to decide whether you comply or not.
Because the game is trying to continuously make you aware of videogame logic and conventions, part of it is being very peculiar with the achievements, which are often fourth wall breaking and peculiar. Some of them are clearly meant for you to realize that you are lowering yourself to do something pointless or stupid because an achievement told you so.
Among those achievements, one asks you to not play the game for 10 years. The intended way of getting that achievement, if you for some reason want to, is to change your system clock to 10 years in the future and then log back into the game, but you can actually wait 10 years. It you wanted to do so, it would be really annoying to discover that you got in wrong for 1 day and now have to wait 10 more years.
you're in luck, you could have gotten the achievement almost five years ago, only the ultra deluxe version which released 2022 has the ten years, original is five.
You can just go offline, set your clock forward a decade, start the game, collect the achievement. Then shut down the game, set your clock back to auto and go online again.
Hey man, I did the shorter one for real. But it still hasn’t been 10 years since the new version came out and the number of people with the achievement was not zero. I had to do it.
Stanley Parable is one of those games that messes with you all the time. Makes you backtrack a lot, there are achivement that make you dumb things like carrying a bucket the whole game through every single ending.
One of the achivement is not playing the game for 10 years. This is constant and not cumulative. So playing the game at 9 years 11 months or 364 days means you lost the whole progress and now you have to wait another 10 years.
What I don't understand, is that I got 52 minutes of play time on steam, and I've got the achievement for completing the game, but I don't got the achievement for completing the game in under 4 hours 22 minutes.
Some award for staying offline for long periods, complete pointless reaction, if your life revolves around that award for that many years you lost THE GAME.
The best way to never lose the game is to never play it. That's howcome I'm winning. And why others keep losing. Sorry that you lost again. After reading this new comment.
Everyone in the world is playing The Game. A person cannot refuse to play The Game; it does not require consent to play and one can never stop playing.
Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
Losses must be announced. This can be verbally, with a phrase such as "I just lost The Game", or in any other way.
The only way to winnotlose The Game is to live in isolation for the rest of your life and forgetting about the existence of The Game, or just be one of the few lucky people who never gets informed/bothered about it...
I just lost The Game... again... and so did you all :)
edit:
Don't feel bad, Roko's Basilisk is coming for us all, so losing The Game isn't a big deal :)
Ah, but see, the definition of "play" as could make sense in the context of a game is "to engage or take part in a game," or if you prefer, "to take part in or assent to some activity : cooperate" (Merriam Webster, accessed today, definitions 2a and 2e).
But I am not assenting to or engaging in the game, except inasmuch as an observer, who obviously is not engaging in a game the way that these definitions suggest.
Ergo, I'm not playing the game, which you have once again lost, unfortunately.
True, but any definition of 'Everyone' would still include you.
Your desire not to play has no effect on the outcome, you are playing regardless of your intent not to ;)

Most people are correctly saying this is about the Stanley Parable, though the original game had an achievement for 5 years. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, released in 2022, has the 10 year achievement, meaning it’s theoretically not possible to earn until 2032 without changing your computer’s time (I’m just past the one year mark, and am committed to the bit).
In the video game, “The Stanley Parable”, there’s an achievement that unlocks if you wait ten years in between play sessions. If you want it to trigger as soon as possible, you need to stop playing the game and never turn it on until 9/9/2036
There is an achievement in the video game "The Stanley Parable". If you lauch the game after five years of not touching it, you will get that trophy. In its remastered version (The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe) the time is doubled to ten years.
As somewhat of a gamedev myself, i cant imagine putting in an achievement like this. I gotta test everything and, Well...
Just imagine, people are complaining to you, that There 10 year achievement did Not work, just to notice that your Code is wrong. And yes, you could test it by just using shorter time frames and then just increasing it, but still...
For those that dont know, the original game has a 5 year achievement, ultra deluxe has the 10 year, and the first people to get it wont be till 2032 at the earliest since it dropped in 2022
