It’s not an achievement, but this is pretty rare
I don’t meet many people like you anymore.
damn, guys, how big were the dinos back then ?
Big enough to screw up the platters on my hard drive when they stomped by!
You had to walk into the computer to catch the bugs.
Golden oldie checking in
'cause we’re dying of old age? :P
Oh hey
21-ers unite!
Soon
Wait for me!!
Ah, not quite as long as I’d thought
Shit, 17 days apart lol. Did you also get a copy of Half-Life 2 for Christmas?
I think I bought the Orange Box? Or HL2 for myself.
You guys were just a few days too late… I remember wanting to stay up to make my account, but I had school the next morning so I did it when I woke up
I was working a double shift on the day it was released so didn’t get it until the day after.
I win! 😝
Had to look it up, you got Steam 4 days after it went live!
I was busy the day they went live.
I remember watching in amusement as my housemate was extremely angry that day and thought “this thing is not going to catch on”.
My roommate was super excited and kept calling me at work to let me know how rough the launch was going with the servers having trouble!
I was a bit skeptical that it would last more than a few years before it would be a subscription model just to use it because of networking and infrastructure costs. So glad it has turned out the way that it has!
I’m just 4 days after you. What’s up, fellow old person?
I only have 16 years, Finally I feel young again!
Slowness to adopt new technologies is a sign of old age 😁
Get off my lawn, damn whipper snappers!
Or that we were children with gameboys
Fellow 22 checking in.
Hello, fellow eldritch being!
I was very anti steam when it first came around and only got an account once CS forced me to to continue to play. My join date is the beginning of 05 so you must have been a super early adopter!
Ha, this is almost my story too. Hadn’t played CS prior though, I got enticed in by CS:S and bought Half Life 2 and Steam just for that.
I started out on CS 1.3 and Day of Defeat, I played source a lot too but then after that lost a lot of interest in it. I tried playing CS: Go for a while but it was never the same as those early days in LAN cafes and on shitty slow internet :D
Funny to see so many other people all starting at the same time.
It’s right around the time steam went live to the world
adjusts glasses and knees pop
Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a 4 digit account?
Old Timers Club!!
And I thought my 17 years were long xD
What about the inverse?
I got Satisfactory before the 1.0 release. I played most of the game before achievements were added. Now the achievement for “reaching the credits” is achieved but “finish the tutorial” is still waiting to be done.
Wow that’s hard to figure out, I went looking for games I had the most achievement completion and tried to find which one had achievements most people had that I didn’t:
- I never scored 6 goals in one game in Rocket League (60.5% of players did)
- I never stabilized Gale’s Orb in Baldur’s Gate 3 (44.8% of players did)
- I never became the champion of Fort Joy Arena in Divinity Original Sin 2 (42.2% of players did)
- I never saved the Printer in Dishonored 2 (31.2% of players did)
Damn…
I’m this many years old on Steam and don’t know how to find my achievements on the mobile app.
If you’ve unlocked the “rare achievements showcase” on your profile, presumably using the desktop app, then it appears on your profile on the mobile app, too.
Behold! Not even getting all that far in They Bleed Pixels is my finest achievement, with only 1.1% of other players managing the same. What you need to do is focus on games that are old and unreasonably bastard hard, and rare medals can be yours.
I believe the games which are openeded and only have whatever goals you set yourself, such as Paradox Map games or Cities Skylines are contenders for rarest achievements as well.
Especially when they have updates and new achievements added as time passes.
For Crusader Kings three as an example, most people can probably found the Dai Viet Empire - But only 0.3% of players has the achievement

I thought that and I looked at my showcase and they were all Modern Warfare (the first of the new reboots) campaign achievments around 0.3℅ and it made me embarrassed to post mine.
Seems you just need a major blockbuster where most people only play the multiplayer, which has also mashed all of its sequels into the same launcher and therefore included people who don’t even own said game in the “players who did not achieve this” percentage…
0.4%
Woo fellow (trans?) Stellaris player!
0.2% and still not the rarest achievement in the game!
Rarest
Proudest (Love this game, highly recommend)
Not as low as some other percentages in this thread but I was very proud to beat the last pantheon in Hollow Knight. You have to beat every boss in the game in a row without dying
5.3 feels like a lot for how hard the challenge is, I never did hahaha
Thank you for asking!
My rarest achievement (0.3%) and most of the other rare ones were mainly for winning the Godly difficulty of the Neter campaign on From The Depths with my own creations. Each faction was its own achievement.
My second-rarest (0.4%) and proudest achievement is my tenth dan black belt in Toribash. I’m really close to custom belt but I haven’t played in like 20 years. Oh my god.
Lazy Bastard, Getting On Track, Raining Bullets, TIS-100, and a couple Noita ones
0.2% in CK3.Not as rare as some others, but takes a little while to achieve:
Hahaha I have that one, and got it fair and square.
Still working on Super Go Outside
I also got that one fairly.
Ohh, right. Thanks for reminding me that I can get this one now.
Shadows of Doubt. These achievements are not rare because they are difficult, but because they are tedious. Most of the ones listed here are just repeatedly eating a food item, which costs almost nothing (1200 credits for solving a typical case, 700 for an easy case; 12 credits to buy a Croque Monsieur, the most expensive food in the game.)
Rat Catcher: Solve a murder while your PoV is at the ground, but you can crawl up walls, and also nobody will talk to you. This achievement is rare mostly because this game mode was added a few years after this game peaked in popularity.
Spare No One: KO everyone in town, in a game where you are discouraged from using violence. Finding a katana and knocking out everyone you see on the street is easy enough. The real challenge here is keeping track of everyone. Some NPCs glitch out and get stuck in their houses, never go outside, and never come to work. You’ll have to identify them, find out where they live, and hunt them down. Some NPCs have accented characters in their names, making them difficult to search for on the computers in game, which do not allow you to type such characters.
If you make a case board to keep track of everyone, the case board takes exponentially increasing time to open for each person you pin onto it. By the end, it was taking me about 5 seconds each time I opened it. That was in a custom procedurally generated town of the smallest possible size – it would be worse on any of the stock towns.
Out of the Red: pay off 10,000 to a loan shark in 1,000 credit increments, one payment per day. Raising 10,000 can be done in half a day easily. Paying it off takes for ever. You can’t make payments early. Each one-day wait takes a few minutes, since the game has to simulate every NPC in town. And remember to turn off the procedurally generated murders, because otherwise your loan shark might get killed, and you can’t make payments any more (it happened to me, and I had to load a save.)
I’ve spent a fair bit of time living in Shadows of Doubt. I can corroborate for those who don’t that you are indeed a mad bastard. I’m interested in the IRL circumstances.
This, from Tabletop Simulator.
Somehow I’m among the 6.1% of Stanley Parable players with this one.
And how does a person actually get it?
Supposedly you just get it randomly, or posts on the web say you can modify an config file then use a console command to get it.
the developer kept changing the unlock criteria to deliberately troll the players - while it’s appropriate for the meta commentary of the game, it made sure I’ll never play one of his games again D:

No offense, but that’s just a very dumb reason to miss out on games that you’d otherwise enjoy.
You do realize they’re not like a part of the actual game right? Nobody is making you do this.
I wasn’t that much of a fan of Stanley Parable anyway, that sort of humour is not really my jam 🤷

For that game they are definitely part of its poking fun of videogames and gamers, it has other achis like not playing for 5 years, or playing for the entire duration of a Tuesday.
Nobody is making you do this.
Agreed, nobody is forcing me to play his other games either :) I just don’t like trolls, whether game developers or not 🤷 I’m one of those people who doesn’t separate the art from its artist.
I also got bored of the Stanley Parable, it reeks of a period on the internet that I’d like to be dead history. Granted, if this was babbies first meta-commentary then I understand why it seems so profound to so many people.
My view on this game is that it, much like Chronotrigger, is very bland. It introduced young people to a concept they weren’t familiar with, like time travel or meta-commentary.
If it’s for you, it’s for you. I’ll reserve what I think about people who (for some reason) could not conceptualize what time travel was before Chronotrigger, I will treat the SP the same way.
I am kinda saddened that it’s such a mundane achievement but I’m also baffled because I didn’t even go out of my way to get this one I just played normally
Napoleon Total War. Not sure if I was achievement hunting or not but it sounds fun.
