The requirement for multiplayer and the need for medals suggests you’re externalising the validation of your enjoyment. If you’re not having fun then pixel medals won’t really add to the enjoyment, they just skinner box your reward circuits.
You may also consider fostering a growth orientated mindset where you aren’t holding back your wellbeing with comparisons to others and indicators of performance.
If you require structure for your entertainment consider using management tools, such as productivity and accountability planning and reviews, perhaps through SMART goal setting.
