Fighting My Inner Completionism

I've had this love/hate relationship with achievements in video games since their inception almost 2 decades ago. Getting an achievement and hearing that little "ba-dunk" chime on my 360 is straight heroin in my veins. However the hate comes from the near-compulsive behavior to ruin my own fun due to the pursuit of achievements. Some instances where the achievement is quite literally impossible to get, no issues. I accept that I can't get the multiplayer achievements when servers are shut down or the likelihood of me getting it is low due to a #skillissue. The achievements that bug the shit out of me the most are the ones you get from just playing the game. The most egregious example? Skyrim. I initially got Skyrim on the XBOX 360 and have since gotten all the achievements. Then I got a PC and got Skyrim there. The PC died, I got an XBONE, and then got Special Edition for it. I got a PC again and then special edition was free since I already owned the original Skyrim on Steam. In all…
