Question about the new Recent Achievements section. What's the SMALLEST number of achievements that it could let you scroll back through that you'd be happy with? Right now it's at 50, which seems like massive overkill.

      @Celestalon is there an option for "they can vanish as soon as i click the next one"

        @RidiculousHat Yeah, just hit 10 for that.

      (This is the sort of semi-mundane thing that nobody ever talks about, but comes up all the time in game dev. You want the menu to load quickly; loading extra stuff takes time. 50 is obviously overkill, but what's the right number that balances performance and satisfaction?)

        @Celestalon any dev, not just game dev :) The meeting I've been on because a pick list loads way too slow, but preloading it takes way too long....

          @jcandance Oh yeah, for sure, same thing from back in my app dev days.

        @Celestalon How about max(unclaimed achievements, 10)?

          @Hi_Dr_Nick Considered that, would also have to put a cap on that, but I'm not sure if you really gain anything from that? More will still load as you claim them.
