Just another Achievement Hunter. Grew up on Nintendo, became addicted to Achievements on Xbox, followed Bloodborne to Playstation, & now at long last have arrived to Steam.

Let us conquer worlds together!

A Cynical Disclaimer:
I will apologize in advance; my Steam Profile is strictly for writing my guides. As such, I will not be accepting any Friend Requests (though I appreciate the gesture). I am very friendly, but not at all social, & like my privacy.

The "Featured Games" info box on my profile shows my upcoming guides/future projects; this list constantly changes & isn't 100% chronological, but gives you a potential idea of what I am working on & plan to in the near future. I also don't always advertise all the guides I am working on either & typically have way more guides than I should on the go...

I write my guides at the same time as I 100% them for myself. This helps me make the guides more descriptive & accurate, however it can add on quite a lot of time depending on the game. I try to release 12 guides a year, but as stated above, that really depends on the projects I decide to attempt. I am most productive from October to March & slow down a bit with my day jobs fieldwork from April to September.

I have created a Steam Group for Achievement Hunters that is (currently) open to all. If you wanted help on specific Achievements, boosting partners, or just wanted to gush about your favorite games come on by & take a scroll through the Discussions tab! I will also be using this Community Group to post updates on my progress on current guides as well.

Lastly, if you are interested in a little bit of patronage, support my projects & consider buying me a beer. If not, no worries; my guides are & will always be free content.

Yes originally I was trying to make guides on other games that were on my list but I realise it is gonna be not my type so I scrap those projects. I would very much will be enjoying games soon like Lies of P (I recommend that game really) and other metroidvanias that are harder or easy but for now I need the online portion done for Max Payne 3 and I can call it done.

Thanks, Division. Once you get over that "honeymoon phase" of making guides, it does start feeling like work after a while. In your defence though, Division, you did try taking on some pretty demanding games to make guides for. Yakuza, Resident Evil, & especially Max Payne 3 definitely are not "quick & easy" 100%s & then to try to do a guide during the process makes a long game even longer. All very good games that would make for good guides, but I would classify them as "long guides" which are 80-160+ hours to make. Very easy to burn yourself out.

Which is why I try to have multiple games/guides on the go so I can bounce around & try to not let it get stale... but that comes with its on problems as you can go from one game/guide to... a lot on the go. I have four guides on the go just from this year, & probably another nine other guides in the back log that I started/got distracted/couldn't finish/& got shelved for later.
