#RetroAchievements are great, one of the coolest developments in the #emulation world. They add a rad new dimension to old games, a new dopamine rush when you see that popup appear...
And... I'm disabling RetroAchievements :(
They just don't work well on #RetroHandhelds where you can't guarantee a network connection because RAs require being online when an achievement is gained, there's no offline mode.
And I've just missed a couple of later game ones because I dropped off without realising.
