Your medal stories

Posted by Andrey20 - September 21st, 2024


I suddenly wondered how you became medals hunters??? If you have something to tell me, you can write your stories about medals here, it will be interesting for me to read.

Well, it just happened. First I only wanted medals for certain games I found were worth it but then I started to try to get as many medals as possible and that is basically where I am today.

Thanks to JME, for sharing your story about the medals. Your gaming skills are above mine :)

Poor decision making, for the most part. ;)

A good friend brought up Newgrounds and more or less pushed me into registering here, so medals I had earned would show to them. Leading to me making an account and re-playing games I had already finished. Then I came across a user's list of medal games that were worth the time investment. (That was so far back, I think I actually still used Google search back then.) At some point, aforementioned friend quit medal collecting and I kept going, discovering a (now defunct) 3rd party tracking site for medal score, user levels, etc. which got me interested in exploring how far I could get.

Fast forward to a few years back when I stopped logging into NG entirely, because I had stopped caring about medals (mostly because there was no quality control anymore for which games could get medals). I had less and less time for games in general, so I didn't want to spend that time by chasing medals.
While I had always had an interest in art and animation as well, NG became associated with all those crappy medal games I had sunk way too much time into. A mix of the bitter taste of having "wasted" that much time and never wanting to experience "medal-FOMO" again kept me away for... "around a decade" I'd say.

What brought me back to NG in July(?) of 2023 was actually the NSFW content that "certain users" love to bitch and moan about. After a while, I decided to stay with this community again and help it out where I saw good opportunities to do so. (Which is a nice way of saying: "How can y'all be so bad at things that 'I' am able to help you...?" ;p )

Thank you Yatsufusa!!! You told me a lot ;)
