Maybe it's that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it's the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog....
When I got Level 50 Skill Rank in Halo 3. Easily my most favorite console game still to this day. I played so much Halo 3 on my main account I maxed the EXP out so I was a 5 Star General by no time. It was a coveted rank back in the day, wanted by boosters and feared in social lobbies (back when skill ranks were shown in pre-game lobbies right on your gamertag nameplate).
Halo 3 may be gone but I saved the Bungie.net web pages and have my past gameplay recordings. I still destroy lobbies in Halo MCC. Once you reach that level of skill it sticks with you forever translating across other fps's. Once a Halo 3 General always a Halo 3 General.
I remember those, one of the few times in my gaming lifetime I was willing to help and join random parties of randoms was to get those Vidmaster challenges done with them.
Never too old and if anyone says it is just ignore them, not their life to dictate. I will never understand why anyone would give up what they find fun because someone else finds it silly or 'not socially acceptable'. Its just them trying to press their own opinions of whats acceptable like its a fact.
I'll never stop gaming, if someone didn't like that to the point they judge me or try and tell me to stop its not a person I'd care to be friends with or talk to anyways. I'm not that old but when I was younger I got berated all the time for gaming, very glad I ignored all that nonsense and kept doing what I enjoyed. I've got a good career path out of it and friends I met online through gaming who now live close by.
I think this is a feedback loop for reddit's death spiral. They'll just start blocking/banning NSFW posts or make a new 'policy' thus killing off even more subs. Which in return more people will leave who didn't care about the API changes. Then those who remain will find another loophole and continue the protest which reddit fires back restricting even more and it continues until reddit has lost the majority of its core userbase.
Maybe I am wrong but I am assuming most advertisers don't want to advertise with NSFW stuff everywhere. I feel reddit who is money hungry and refuses to listen to the community will just continue to tighten the grip as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men.
I suspect that will be the next wave too. Then whenever reddit gets closer and closer to going public I have a feeling they have more steps in place they will start to change/shut down more subs that don't 'align' with a clean image they want advertisers and shareholders to see. The place will become more and more dry as everything becomes about pleasing those who pay them rather than the community.
I could be wrong but with how they ignored and responded to the recent protest (whether people agree with the protest or not) they clearly are hell bent on their way or the highway.
Oh man this was the worst. Even game subs like Call of Duty the mods would not allow anyone to talk about Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) so they just auto-modded every single thread about it. These same mods pretty much run every CoD sub so they were all unfortunately power-tripped the same way. If a community is upset about something they should be able to speak their mind, not hide it all because it might look bad for a company.

Honestly its about time. They no longer have to be held back by the older system that most likely held back some tech for games that had to work on the new and old system at the same time.
@Monodeath I'm taking a break this season. Usually when nothing the BP interests me I only play a few times that season. Definitely no grind for me this season.
What's achievement in videogames are you most proud of?
