gollark: Anyway, I myself only have 380.29670000000004 achievement points™, because some of them are quite hard and browser horrors mean I occasionally lose my data.
gollark: The comments system has some identifier thing going on for allowing you to edit/delete stuff, and obviously I reserve the right to spy on the logs at any time.
gollark: IndexedDB locally.
gollark: There aren't that many interesting achievements which I can think of I can add without overly intrusive measures.
