Kayinworks - I Irrationally Hate RetroAchievements (kayin.moe)

Sharing because Kayin's talk about achievements made me think about why do I even accept them in games at all so I disabled them in Steam (the only way to do this is by disabling the whole overlay =_=) and found that I don't miss them at all.

What's you opinion on RetroAchievements, and achievements in general?

I've hated achievements since I brought home my XBox360. At least steam allows us to disable the overlay so we have some way of hiding the notification. People still on console are SOL.
