A Reddit user known as “uncleseeth” has completed a 20-year quest to collect every physical North American Xbox 360 release, amassing 1,353 games and turning a casual achievements rivalry with friends into a lifelong pursuit. His painstaking hunt, revived after a family hiatus and culminating with a final gift, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, now shifts focus from acquisition to playing and completing achievements across the entire library.
It’s been a shorthand for “achievement” for a long time. In fact, there’s an achievement in Fable 2 that’s called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)
Some do, some don’t. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements “RCheevos” (in large part, admittedly, because “RA” could be confused for “RetroArch”). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say “achievement”.

Aaaaand red ring of death.
xD
That would be me, if I had money :(
Me looking at a NAS in my closet: “Oh hey! Me too!”
Damn, you can fit all 1353 discs in there? Wild
.iso format, same thing.
Just in time for disc rot to set in
I seriously hope they made 1:1 backups of everything.
There’s probably a decent 1g1r archive online by now.
Literally word for word the exact comment I came to make
Just upvote.
I’d back it up and put the covers up as some decorative piece, but yeah the actual disks are probably on their last legs in one way or another lol
It really depends so much on disc type. I have CDs burned in the 90s that still work, and DVDs that delaminated two years later. Just depends.
My PlayStation games still work fine.
back them up and upload them!!!
They’re all on archive.org, can use jdownloader2 to grab them all quickly

Who needs that when you’ve got Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2?
DOA beach volleyball was basically made for wanking. the game itself was… barely a game
I remember one review commenting on how the controls were mapped to only need one hand.
Ignoring Onichanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers??
Not playing Rumble Roses?
Damn, even the shovelware?
That statement better not include sneak king.
Is that the burger king game
One of the 3.
Big Bumpin’ & Pocketbike Racer are the other two, and the racing game is better than it has any right to be.
Huh. I kind of thought it would be bigger, ngl.
I take it that “cheevo” is what people are calling achievements now.
It’s been a shorthand for “achievement” for a long time. In fact, there’s an achievement in Fable 2 that’s called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)
From the name, I’m assuming unlocking it involves some sort of sex act.
I prefer when games own up to it, like how looking at the porny posters in Metal Gear Solid 2 HD unlocks “Snake Beater”
hahah that cheeto name is brilliant
Some do, some don’t. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements “RCheevos” (in large part, admittedly, because “RA” could be confused for “RetroArch”). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say “achievement”.
R-chievement would be a more fitting name
You can’t just come in with the hard R-word!
Time for my 40 minute apology video. BRB, filming.
It sounds more fun if you read it in an Aussie accent
I would imagine that there are way more 360 discs out there in America
Wow!
Congratulations to them on their enormous collection of largely valueless media that degrades beyond usefulness with age
Whats even more stupid is that in less than 100 years he’ll be dead anyway making the whole endeavour absolutely futile.
What a fool.
Indeed. Why even live if you’re gonna die anyway.
