A Reddit user known as “uncleseeth” has completed a 20-year quest to collect every physical North American Xbox 360 release, amassing 1,353 games and turning a casual achievements rivalry with friends into a lifelong pursuit. His painstaking hunt, revived after a family hiatus and culminating with a final gift, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, now shifts focus from acquisition to playing and completing achievements across the entire library.
I take it that “cheevo” is what people are calling achievements now.
RetroAchievements does call theirs Cheevos in many places, even some folder names, ans possibly in the code too.
It’s been a shorthand for “achievement” for a long time. In fact, there’s an achievement in Fable 2 that’s called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)
From the name, I’m assuming unlocking it involves some sort of sex act.
I prefer when games own up to it, like how looking at the porny posters in Metal Gear Solid 2 HD unlocks “Snake Beater”
hahah that cheeto name is brilliant
Some do, some don’t. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements “RCheevos” (in large part, admittedly, because “RA” could be confused for “RetroArch”). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say “achievement”.
R-chievement would be a more fitting name
You can’t just come in with the hard R-word!
Time for my 40 minute apology video. BRB, filming.
