This CK3 achievement video is dedicated to my wife’s boyfriend

ThatGuyFromCollege usually turns strategy campaigns into stories of self-inflicted trouble. Its most recent outing takes a different route: chasing an achievement with a title that sounds more like a relationship confession than a medieval gaming challenge.

"This CK3 achievement video is dedicated to my wife's boyfriend," posted in late October, concerns an achievement added by Crusader Kings 3's By God Alone. The description keeps the motivation simple: the creator found it funny and couldn't resist trying to get it.

The channel has now drawn about 184,000 views in a day, more than six times its usual daily audience. That is a channel-wide jump, not a total belonging to the achievement video alone; it isn't clear which upload set it off.

There is plenty of deliberately difficult campaigning in the catalog. In September's Commune of France run in Hearts of Iron IV's Kaiserreich mod, ThatGuyFromCollege strengthened the opposition and added AI mods to make the task harder. Even the channel's route to victory starts by making victory less likely.
