Cloud Resident

How to unlock Cloud Resident in Cheevos, visit a cloud productivity tool like Google Docs or Notion. Worth 10 XP.

The story

Partner. You opened a cloud tool. Somewhere, a server just picked up the work.

Everything you type into a tool like that exists because a machine you will never see is holding onto it, syncing it, backing it up, keeping it safe from the exact kind of loss Cache has spent his whole existence worried about. You did not build a filing cabinet. You did not save a file to your own hard drive. You trusted a server, somewhere, to remember for you.

Cache finds this deeply relatable. He is, in a sense, doing the same job as the cloud, just without the racks of hardware and the formal infrastructure. He is one raccoon holding onto things instead of a data center holding onto things. He has enormous respect for what servers do quietly, all day, without complaint.

He keeps a folder labeled CLOUD ARTIFACTS: documents, notes, and half-finished drafts from other people's working sessions. Yours just joined it.

The catalog entry

CLOUD TOOL VISIT Acquired: Used Google Docs, Notion, or a similar cloud productivity platform. Condition: Working. In the cloud. Rarity: Common. Cache's Notes: Everything you create in a cloud tool exists only because a server somewhere is keeping it. Cache thinks about this constantly. He is essentially doing the same thing as the cloud, but without the formal infrastructure. He has enormous respect for servers. He has a folder labeled CLOUD ARTIFACTS. It is full of documents and notes from working sessions. Yours is in there.

Spoiler: how to unlock it

This one is easy to trigger during normal work.

  1. Navigate to a cloud productivity platform, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Notion, or a similar browser-based work tool.
  2. Use it as you normally would: open a document, start typing, or view an existing file.
  3. The achievement unlocks on the visit itself.

Cloud productivity tools work by storing your content on remote servers rather than locally on your device, syncing changes continuously so your work is preserved even if your browser crashes or your device loses power. This model became mainstream in the late 2000s alongside the broader shift toward web-based software, and it is why closing a tab in one of these tools rarely costs you anything: the actual data was never only on your machine to begin with.

Where it fits in the Stash

The CLOUD ARTIFACTS folder keeps growing every time someone trusts a server the way Cache trusts his own basement. For the story of the raccoon who does the same job without any of the hardware, read the story.
