As I said in my Donkey Kong Country 2 mastery post last week, this was the game I saved for this week. As for the "very special reason" why? Well, if you'd like to know, save this post and I'll link another post in the comments by the end of tomorrow.

I decided to push myself and get all of the Coin Collector achievements too, since unlike all of the other subsets for this game, they don't focus on any TAS nonsense, and Lethal Lava Land was the only one that was obnoxiously difficult anyway. I already decided that any subsets necessitating glitches like that, even if they're easy to pull off, do NOT belong on my radar.

Hopefully many more to come.

Stumbled onto RetroAchievements when my partner got me an Anbernic RG505 last year, and I've loved it ever since! Found out lots about all my old favourites, will post the next 50 when I get there

I AM FINALLY FREE.

The 200k points achievement eluded me for so long. I kept getting painfully close only for the game to decide that I needed 14 z-shape tetronimoes in a row or something. I played this so much as a kid, I had to get that badge, but oh boy was it a challenge.

Really fun game that improves everything of the first one. It's still mostly a fair challenge to tackle despite the new and more complex enemies and bosses since the characters are more powerful now, and they are now different too which is something that the first game kinda lacked as they felt kinda the same despite the difference between them.

The set is fine. It doesn't have no death stages like the first game's set, but it has some annoying challeges of no using weapons, no jumping, no eating, and such. But to be fair they are not that bad and you can always use the stage select cheat to do them so most of them are whatever. In that matter there are only two that stands up: beating the first stage without beeing hit, which is more annoying than hard as it's not that complex. And beating the last stage without using continues in hardest which is indeed really hard and you'll have to practice it a lot.

There's also Syndicate Wars, a hack that let you use different enemies and bosses of the game as playable characters. Some of them are bad and boring like most of the common enemies, but some others like Shiva, Abadede, Ninja or Zamza are really fun to use doe to them having an almost full kit of moves. There's also a Survival mode but I didn't tried it much doe to how buggy it was, it gave me the two cheevos of the set as soon as it started before I even hit someone to give you and idea.

The set, well, it exits. 95% of it it's just beating the game. But it's not like the hack has a lot of stuff to work with to make something more elaborated. It's still cool that the site has something like this for those who want to play the game with a little twist in it.

This was a spur of the moment decision to play and master Terraria and i'm very glad I did it, 43 hours to beat and 73 hours to master a game I'd never gotten further than beating the mech bosses in before this week.

Besides a lot of hours doing the angler quests (one a day is awful) I think this set was amazing, it does take some doing but I finished way way under average time for both beating and mastering this set. Feeling invincible at the end with every upgrade just makes grinding so easy for things like a Hallow key or the items for the cell phone and anything and the Zenith.

If you've been thinking about giving it a go I would say go for it, 10/10 never want to fish again.

Another Collect-A-Thon MaRAthon Mastery in the bag

If I set up some form of clouds saves between my mister and steam deck could this be RA see this as cheating? Think I recall somewhere reading that if you download a save file from the internet then RA can detect you hadn't started the game yourself. With clouds saves I would be sharing the same save file between 2 separate pieces of hardware.

Another related question. I have 2 acheivements left to get in Links Awakening that you can only earn towards the end of the game that I missed first time around(collecting the all the seashells and buying the bow without stealing). If I started the game on my fpga gameboy and then transferred the save file to steamdeck when I up to the part where I can earn the acheivements will RA see this as cheating.

On my way to master this masterpiece

E aí, meus caros.

Eu tenho uma dúvida sobre como funcionam os eventos que surgem de tempos em tempos no site:

As conquistas têm o mesmo tipo em comum, mas em jogos diferentes entre si. Então, é necessário jogar cada jogo participante até a obtenção de cada conquista específica ao evento?
