Responded to 100% vs all achievements discussion

GreatWyrmGold: Nitpicking? Maybe. Trying to figure out how to fix this problem without obliterating other editors' hard (if inaccurate) work? Definitely.

 The "eternal student" was a thing when I went to college ("uni" for our UK friends) because tuition was nominal at most state affiliated universities.  The optimal path if your parents weren't giving your money was to get a job as a Resident Advisor in one of the dormitories where most first year students lived as that would cover your room and board.  Most school have responded to this by instituting some sort of cap on the number of courses and years you could take before they would force you to graduate.  The dedicated eternal student would then apply to graduate school. {{unsigned ip|2600:1700:b39:3010:70ea:4d8d:1888:b6b8|18:17, 3 October 2025 (UTC)}}

	Maybe this is a nitpick, but I don't like how this explanation conflates 100% speedruns and getting all achievements. What "100%" means varies from game to game, but it's generally unrelated to external "achievement" trackers. It's quite common for achievements to be awarded for things the community considers irrelevant to finishing the game, such as failing under particularly silly circumstances or winning the game while deliberately avoiding certain mechanics; there might even be achievements which are incompatible and must be achieved in separate runs! "100%" != "all achievements," usually.

		+	:I wouldn’t call that a nitpick at all. In fact, I think it’s a good point that a 100% run and an all achievements run would likely be very different for a university. While you could say that completion of a university only necessitates academic achievements, there’s definitely a lot more that you COULD do at a university. Clubs, sports, events, etc. That optional content wouldn’t be optional if the speedrun was truly all-achievements. I’ve added a paragraph about the implications of a speedrun that requires EVERYTHING possible to achieve at the university.
