Games:

The Stanley Parable - I had previously used the system clock cheat to get the Go Outside achievement. I have since used SAR to reset all achievements for this game.

Borderlands 3 - All achievements were marked as invalid on multiple trackers due to several dozen being granted in a matter of seconds. I was unsure of the cause, so I used SAR to remove all achievements for this game. I have since found out that the cause of this is the fact that the developers awarded bugged achievements retroactively, and the simultaneous achievements were working as intended.

After doing a more thorough review of my profile on other trackers, it appears that two other games have also been flagged.

Danganronpa V3, and Hitman 2.

From the timestamps, it appears that both games had achievements unlocked within seconds of one another, and even out of order in a few cases. Both have been fully reset using SAR.

For Hitman 2, the discrepancy is possibly due to the fact that I was using an internet disconnection method to re-play one-shot elusive targets. This potentially put Steam into offline mode, then the achievement data was sent back when the connection was reestablished. That doesn't explain all the irregularities, but it's the only explanation I can think of.

Regarding Danganronpa V3, I believe that SAM or Cheat Engine was used. I personally did not play that series, but a roommate did. Since the games did not support Family Sharing at the time, he used my Steam account to play that game on my PC, so I have no way of knowing what was used to complete the game.

But at this point I live alone, my account has 2FA, and I've learned my lesson about PC/acct sharing (long story short, the achievement stats were the least of my problems).

There were also three achievement-enabled games that were wrongly listed as unowned by my Steam account. This was most likely a crawler error and not a cheater flag, but in any case I did re-sync the games to resolve the issue.

Minor update, my Discord tag has changed. My new tag is: Stavro#0001

I would also like to note that the achievements from Deserving Life were repeatedly disappearing from my steamhunters.com profile and the game was showing as unowned, so I removed the game from my Steam account entirely to avoid further conflicts. That was a ~30 minute free game that I only completed to get a SteamVR item, so it's not like deleting the game was a meaningful loss.
