Kayinworks - I Irrationally Hate RetroAchievements (kayin.moe)

Sharing because Kayin's talk about achievements made me think about why do I even accept them in games at all so I disabled them in Steam (the only way to do this is by disabling the whole overlay =_=) and found that I don't miss them at all.

What's you opinion on RetroAchievements, and achievements in general?

It's a skinner box designed to make you play a game longer than you're enjoying it, simple as that.

Most people like skinner boxes, of course, but I'm glad to see more people are realising what achievements really are.
