Oh, honey, you wanna know about them Steam hidden achievements, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t rocket science. It’s like findin’ a needle in a haystack, but once ya know the trick, it’s as easy as pie.
Now, first thing ya gotta know is, these achievements, they’re like secrets, see? The folks who made the game, they don’t want just anybody knowin’ ’em. They want it to be a surprise, a little somethin’ special for the folks who really dig into the game. So if you want to show hidden achievements, you need to find a way.
But, this old lady knows a thing or two. You see that “Options” button? You click it. Then there is this thing called “accessibility”. It sounds complicated but it is simple. Just find this “always show hidden achivements“, and give it a good ol’ tick. Like puttin’ a checkmark on your grocery list. Bam! You’re in. But sometimes, the game makers, they’re sneaky. They really don’t want ya seein’ these secrets. And Steam, well, they ain’t gonna force ’em to show ya.
There’s another way, though, but it is a bit complex. Something about “Global Achievements”. You gotta click on “View all achievements”. Yeah, it’s like goin’ down a rabbit hole. You’ll see a whole bunch of numbers and stuff. Don’t let that scare ya. Just look around, and you’ll find those hidden ones. But it is a long list. And it’s kinda like readin’ the phone book, if ya remember those. But it is there.
And I heard some folks talkin’, sayin’ ya can just start Steam with somethin’ called “-vgui”. Now, I don’t know what that is, sounds like a spell to me. But if you’re into that kinda thing, maybe give it a try. It might work, it might not. Who knows? It’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig at the county fair. Might be fun, might be a mess.
Some other folks also say if you hide your profile, like going invisible, it messes things up. I guess it make you don’t own the game at all. So, if you’re showin’ off your achievements, don’t go hidin’ yourself. It is like tryin’ to win a pie-eatin’ contest with your hands tied behind your back. Just ain’t gonna work.
These game makers, they can mark some achievements as hidden, ya know? Like buryin’ treasure. They choose which ones to hide, but Steam, that’s the platform, right? It’s like the general store of games. They let ya unhide ’em through somethin’ called the “global” somethin’ or other. Sounds fancy, but it just means everyone’s stuff all mixed together. It just proves that it is not only the game maker’s thing.
And get this, sometimes, when ya look at these global achievement things, they even tell ya how to get ’em! Ain’t that somethin’? It’s like findin’ a recipe in your grandma’s old cookbook. But if they don’t tell ya, you can always look ’em up by name on the internet. There are these websites, like the one called “trueachievements,” where folks share these secrets. It’s like a big ol’ recipe swap, but for games.
- Click “Options”
- Go to “accessibility”
- Tick “always show hidden achivements”
They have this new thing, “Mark Private.” Sounds mysterious, right? But all it does is make it look like you don’t even own the game. Poof! It’s gone from your profile, like it never existed. And it won’t show up in your recently played games either. It’s like hidin’ your favorite candy from your grandkids. They won’t find it if they don’t know it’s there.
So, there ya have it. Steam hidden achievements ain’t so hidden after all. Just gotta poke around a bit, like lookin’ for your lost glasses. And if all else fails, just ask someone. There’s always some young whippersnapper who knows about these things. They can tell you how to show hidden achievements. They are like a walking, talking computer manual. Just remember to be nice to ’em, and maybe they’ll help ya out. They might even share some of their own secrets with ya. And that’s the best way to learn, ain’t it? From each other.
Now, this whole thing is based on what I heard and what I seen. I ain’t no expert, mind ya. Just a regular person tryin’ to figure out these newfangled things. It’s like tryin’ to learn how to use one of them smart phones. Takes a while, but once ya get the hang of it, it ain’t so bad. And who knows, maybe you’ll even start to like it. Maybe you’ll find some hidden achievements of your own. And won’t that be somethin’?
