Correct and as a cap you’d figure I’d be all over that. But on the contrary—I’m more of a “let me use this as a junk draw to catch the achievements I will 100% forget about.” Which I also feel is a very cap way of going about it.

I have one. It is left untended and serves only as a repository for all the things I’ve done. I check it once or twice a year maybe if I remember it.
