wait do you want to play it or just get achievements?

does SAM still work in 2023? that used to be how those addicts such as yourself got through the day with games that had no-longer-achievable achievements... they just gave themselves with Steam Achievement Manager... even exclusives and pre-order ones.

do you get access to contracts from your steam friends with this self hosted server, or how does this work?

The way it works is that, if you and your friend have established a connection on Contracts mode and your Friend has just created a Contract, you should be able to see it either under the Friend created or something.

maybe refresh it, if it doesn´t pop up

that's how it worked on the original game but official servers are gone :(, with the private server you need to join the discord to get access to more contracts, if you buddy one of the people who made the contract then play it you can get the achievement, or you can set Contracts to FALSE and then in the appsettings.json enter your friends ID and it will think the contract is made by your friend and get you the achievement.

Didn´t it have to be TRUE to work with friend aswell?

No, i mean you can set it to true and actually play a friends contract, that does work, but if you don't have any friends or just want the achievement you can set it to false and just enter anyone on your buddy list's ID into it and then just play the Moc contract

So it does or doesn't work these days? I just assumed games post-2012 it wasn't useful...

Thankfully I have never suffered from this disease, in fact I wish there was a way those of us who could not possibly care any less, could permanently remove achievements from every game even future games we haven't purchased yet, just remove that ability from our steam accounts and libraries - so 100% or 1% completion games, they'd all show up like old games - just don't have any.

I don't need the game to make a bullet-point list to tell me what I did or didn't do, if I had fun, I can tell by elapsed playtime!

Never understood it. If killing a guy with a toilet in HL2 is funny, it's always funny, not just the one time you get a little pop-up congratulating you for doing so. It's not like they're unique in any way; hundreds of thousands get the same achievement, most of the time they're just handed out like candy, for progressing normally through the game, not a completing a grueling and complex series of in-game tasks.

Maybe it's a 5-yr old lizard brain mentality thing, it's Candy Crush going SWEET! and it gives you a little ASMR chill or something? (Maybe it's just form of addiction?)

Anyway so glad I don't have this illness. Condolences to those that do, it sounds terrible. Glad this game has a solution that works!

Entirely self hosted, to play other player made contracts join the discord and you can download the contracts in a json file format.
