Jargon:

  • "1K" - Complete the base gamerscore in a game, typically 1000 points, thus 1K. Sometimes used to refer to a completion in general.
  • "TA" - True Achievements, either the score type or the website
  • "Knobs" - Unobtainable achievements - achievements that have never been unlockable
  • "Discos" - Discontinued achievements - achievements that are no longer unlockable, probably due to online server shutdowns
  • "Bean Dive" - Yearly challenge on True Achievements aiming to earn at least one achievement in every game in your backlog, coined by it's creator, Beanpotter
