At 10,000, I get the ability to skin my rock into 3 different shades of gray or brown.
CAN’T WAIT!
UNLOCKED: Liver eaten by Eagle for 100 consecutive days!
This reminds me of The Forgotten City. Great game
Maybe I’m weird.
Achievements don’t do anything for me.
> *”Oh hey, you killed Glorblox without taking more than five hits. Aren’t you special? Here’s a useless award!”*
I’m probably in the minority in this because I see achievements thrown at me left and right in every game for doing basically nothing.
> *”Opened the game 5 times! Diligent Opener unlocked! Only 78% of players achieved this!”*
It’s a no-effort way to incentive more gameplay, chasing down meaningless and arbitrary achievements to artificially pad the game – rather than, ya know, actual content.
> *”Cynical Comment unlocked! Only 94% of redditors have ever posted a cynical comment! You’re special!”*
Or maybe I’m reading too much into it and it’s a fun little addition that can be ignored.
> *”You’ve felt ambivalence 14 times today! That’s a new record! Keep up the good work!*”
EDIT:
> **ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Negative Nelly!**
> *Receive a negative comment score for an unpopular opinion!*
GUYS this one is still unclaimed. Someone needs to grab this achievement:
> **No E, No Sweat**
> Defend game achievements in 500 words without using the letter “E”!
Wow, special skin for Bouldy! He must be so proud.
Such a sissy puss.
…what?
Man’s hunt for meaning is an allegory for a bored or underutilized mind.
Rockin’ that sense of pride and accomplishment!
Just got my Sisyphus battle pass too
One must imagine Sisyphus is happy.
If achievements actually gave you something other than a number
Banjo kazooie nuts and bolts had a side scrolling mini game that was damn near impossible but it gave you a profile pic at the end so everyone knew you were a time wasting god
I forget… Sisyphus?
Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.
Why did you remove the watermark, coward ?
This is from existentialcomics btw
I’m going through that at the moment with like a dragon. It’s like go here and beat up 200 people.
Ok done woohoo.
NOOOOWWWW beat up 500 people!
GOD DAMN IT.
Good ol’Sisyphus..
basically Getting Over It
This is basically Rock of Ages, which was a fun little game.
This is an amazing demonstration of Camus’ existentialist metaphor about Sisyphus
Rolling like Sisyphus
Pouring like an avalanche
Running down the mountain

I’m playing Hades for the first time. I just realized I wasted sooo many Nectar on that fucking boulder. I didn’t need to give him shit. I feel scammed.

Destiny 2 in a nutshell
You can remove the first three and last three panels from this comic and the joke still works.
This is how it feels to grind destiny rn
I feel like this is way deeper than people realize.
One must imagine Sysiphus grinding.
99 percent of this community are not going to fully grasp what this comic is trying to convey.
After rolling 50 stones he unlocks golden ~~pot~~ rock
He rolled the boulder up the hill.
He rolled the boulder up the hill.
She rolled the boulder up the hill.
He rolled the boulder up the hill.
The boulder fell.
The boulder fell.
The boulder fell.
The boulder fell.
The ship fell.
The boulder fell.
The boulder fell.
Sorry, I’ve been playing too much Returnal.

Like holy fuck people get out of the damn skinner box and just play the fucking games.
At least Sisyphus is having fun.
One must imagine sisyphus to be easily motivated by stickers
I wish achievements/trophies actually gave you in game stuff. I’d even take just a cool fireball sticker lol.
one of the two major banking apps in my country has achievements. Yeah, you heard that right. And people actually do them and collect the ‘stickers’ for them, so I was like ‘wow do you get money or bonuses for it?’, and they say ‘no, it’s just that – an achievement’, and to this day I have no idea why they do it. Also, didn’t instagram implement achievements a few weeks back? I feel too old for this shit
Oh sisyphus you silly boy!
I love comics about sisyphus’s Boulder because they assign meaning to the senseless toil, which is the point of the ordeal as in the contract of Nietzsche. so meta
The best way to cope with being condemned for an eternity of pushing a boulder up a hill is make a game of it. Maybe he can decorate it, or learn how to push the boulder on a different path.
