This could've probably gone in the Other Cheevos, but I don't necessarily want to limit it.

What's the gaming achievement you're most proud of? Whether it's the one you're putting on your Steam profile showcase or just something you did to impress yourself, I'm inviting you to brag about it.

Personally, I'm unduly pleased with the time I full-perfected the not terribly difficult Flash rhythm game Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3.

My most glorious moment in competitive video games was in the card game designed like a fighting game, Yomi.


My main in Yomi is Midori, a man who is also a dragon. Midori is a stance change grappler. He's not the best grappler in Yomi, and grapplers (outside of the best one, Troq, a bull who is also a man) are already pretty disadvantaged. Especially against a horrible creature named Bal-Bas-Beta, a robot who is also a Dhalsim.

The amount of time I spent labbing against Bal-Bas-Beta as Midori has put the digital client of Yomi into the rank of second-most played game on Steam for me, at 318 hours. I played in the tiny competitive scene for Yomi for a few months, generally putting up zero wins but having a good time. There was a match where I managed to win a game in a first-to-three set, and my opponent very wisely counter-picked into BBB.

Based on the historical match-up data, I had a 30% chance in general to win this game in this matchup.
Based on my OWN tournament data, I had basically zero chance to win this game.

Reader: I played a perfect game. The robot did not touch me once. I never let him get to long range, I never lost an exchange, I walked into and out of that game with the same amount of health. I managed to flawlessly defeat the anti-grappler with the middlest grappler in the game.

My opponent pivoted to their main and ended up taking the set back from me. But I landed an unthinkable victory for all of my Yomi grappler brethren by slaying the monster through sheer force of will.

SCGMD3 is one of the flash games of all time.

I play a little poker, for small money. I'm not great yet, but any final table is always the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. Got this screenshot lying around from last April, when I was on an insane heater.
