Voted no, but my actual answer is yes, as I compensated for the one December day I missed on my main with a visit on my mobile alt.

There were some extensive power outages this year, so that's probably where I missed some days.

Via the Monthly Loyalist badges. Honestly surprised they don't have a badge specifically for the full year

Pretty sure I did, but there were some days I only visited with my mobile account and some days I only visited with my main account, so I don't think I got the True Loyalist badge as a result.

I'm pretty sure they started giving out monthly badges in February of last year, so any January loyalist badges would be from this year, and you wouldn't really get True Loyalist for this year until the end of January.

It seems like the majority of us are having an issue with the January badge. Mine shows me getting it 11 months ago, but it's the only one that doesn't seem to have it's progress at 100%.

The monthly badges were added in February of last year, so everyone should only have 1x January badge (from 2020), with the second one coming next month.

This is correct.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Wait it says the True Loyalist trophy was handed out 4 weeks ago. So it was counting from December 2019 through November 2020? I missed some days in December last year, so that would explain why I don't have it.

this account (laptop) started last July, so 2x Loyalists for everything Aug-Dec, 1x Loyalists Jan-Jul

main account (PC) 2x Loyalists everything except October which apparently missed out somewhere in 2019

either way both accounts 100% 2020, and noted of course this account's October Loyalist x2 means I did 100% 2019 between them

I've visited GameFAQs every day for probably 4 years or more, but I missed the first February-July Loyalist badges somehow. I only just noticed that it didn't start in August 2019, which I guess matches up with my Faithful count being only 60.

No idea why it wasn't counting me those days, but oh well!

But I just assumed No because it's not like, a sanctified religion and last I checked 366 days in a row is a heckin long af streak for literally any mundane behavior

So probability leans toward no

Depends on the achievements in the game
Achievements can be good to make you feel like you experienced the game in it's fullest. Stuff life collect every item, beat every mission, get a good rank in every mission, experiences most easter eggs etc are great.
There are so many games that I feel like I would have missed a lot of the game if I didn't care about the achievements
A good example of a good achievement would be Celeste's 1UP - it requires you to beat the first level by collecting all strawberries and not standing still on the ground for more than half a second
It's doable, it's fun, I totally would never have done it if it wasn't a achievement

But there are games with shitty achievements and they can fuck off
Beat every stage with S+++++ Rank, beat every chapter without dying (and in a game like Super Meat Boy, this is insanely impossible), get level 9999 by grinding for days and so on. Those can fuck off

But back on topic-
GameFAQs trophies (badges) are different. Getting them doesn't let you "experience GameFAQs to it's fullest"
First problem - You can earn more than one trophy. So there is no "100%ing GameFAQs". Even if you get one of every achievement, there is always more to chase. And that's dumb, because there is no end for this. I don't care about achievements if I don't feel like I will be able to complete them

Second Problem - Some stuff are super hard to get like "Contributor of the Month" or "Won FAQ of the Month"
Third Problem - You don't have control over most of them. You can visit GameFAQs each day...but you can't speed it up.
Fourth Problem - There are missable achievements. You can never "100% GameFAQs" if you missed one. I can never be in the top 50 of the Best Year in Gaming Contest

So this is why I care about video games achievements but GameFAQs badges can go fuck off

And yes I am aware this post is Luster's level of dumb. what can I do

Hmmm, that's actually a very good argument for them. I can agree with that sentiment at least.
