Play for a whole tuesday my arse. Help please.

[Abaddon]

I've had a lot of fun playing this game, specially the minecraft/portal ending. But just like any other game I want to get every single achievement, which I've done except for which expects me to play for A WHOLE TUESDAY.

That's what I call a retarded achievement, like the unachieveable one, or the don't-play-for-five-years crap, and as such I'd like to know what's the best way to do this without having to waste 24 hours of electricity for no reason.

So does anyone know a way to complete this achievement without having to leave my computer running for a whole day? Thanks in advance.

Just look the million threads on the subject before this one.

I already did and all they say is either do it legit or tweak the BIOS clock. I already stated I wouldn't do it the legit way because it's retarded, and of course I won't tweak the BIOS settings to get this crap.

I might do it on a virtual machine if there were no other options but since you can unlock the unachievable achievement using a command and the "don't play for 5 years" achievement changing the computer clock I bet there's a way to do it that nobody has found yet.

It's a pity because the game is epic, but this little achievement alone has bothered me so much it went down in my library from "Awesome games" to "Good games". MIght sound stupid but these details are very important to me.

I can't do the jump achievment. It's doesn't work because I assigned the spacebar to a command before making the jump. Have you a solution ?

[Abaddon]

Just a couple of them that work across Source-engine games:
1. You can open the console and enter the following command:

bind space +jump

2. You can delete the configuration file to reset the controls to their defaults, it's located in <install path>\Steam\steamapps\common\The Stanley Parable\thestanleyparable\cfg
(<install path> is the folder where you installed steam). Delete "config.cfg" and it should work.

Either of those should help you

Okay okay, let's set things clear:

There's a fine line between clever use of the system resources and modifying games. I don't modify games to get achievements (that's pointless for me and it doesn't look very legal either).

What I seek as an achievement hunter is a clever way to do it in an unexpected way that's easier than it looks by itself. For example, there's this achievement where you literally have to stop playing for 5 straight years before playing the game again. There's also that one where doing a random thing in the game grants you a random chance (not even 100%!) to unlock it. Those 2 achievements were designed by monkeys on steroids, no offense.

An achievement is a reward for feats of strength, deeds that deserve to be remembered, or simply for your patience (see that achievement about clicking a door 5 times), and asking people to do some really stupid thing (seriously devs, WTF were you thinking?) that deserves no recognition at all.

All I want is a way to do it without having to let the computer run for a whole damn day for no reason, but I will never use cheating programs.

Y'all do realize that the entire purpose of Stanley achievements like that one is relentless mockery of the kind of person who would jump through absurd hoops just to satisfy their compulsive need to do whatever silly thing they can get an achievement for doing, even though achievements are ultimately meaningless, right? :P

I hope you have realized by now that this was the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ POINT OF THE JOKE! The Stanley Parable is a satire of games, and their stories/achievements! IT'S NOT LIKE OTHER GAMES AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY!

Achievements are no joke. Track them, find them, kill get them.
