It's going to sound weird, but i can't wait to be solidly knocked out of the top 300 on #RetroAchievements So, firstly, why top 300? Well, the top 300 are celebrated in the monthly E-Magazines. So it is quite a coveted space to be, but it is also where, I feel, it gets "competitive" and I just don't have it in me to compete. It's been nice standing on the parapet, looking out, but my choices if I were to remain in this position are not appealing. I could play harder, faster, stronger eating into time I just don't have, or I could mop up some quick and easy wins, blitzing high value quick games. Or I could go for the beats, over the mastery. But whilst I am still here, I feel this weird pressure to be in the rat race. Perhaps because I thought getting here was a pipe dream. Evidently, I am just trying to cling to some kind of "glory". I stand by what I often say. I am not a good gamer, I am just stubborn and you'd be amazed at how far that can get you sometimes.

    So, I have figured a rather foolhardy long term goal. I am going to work my way through a bunch of different consoles from my youth, and aim for 50 #RetroAchievements masteries for each console. Currently looking at: N64 SNES NES Gameboy Gameboy Color Gameboy Advance Sega Genesis PlayStation 1 I crunched the numbers and across those systems i have already done 201. So that would be another 199 games in total. I am already halfway there! That should keep me busy for a while and I am sure I will find even more weird things to experience!
