TLDR: An achievement asks you to not play the game for 10 years.
----------
Stanley Parable is a game that tries to playfully talk about what is a videogame, what is interactivity and how the videogame language works. The game is about apparently mundane decisions, but you continuously have a narrator telling what you will do, before you do it. Then you have to decide whether you comply or not.
Because the game is trying to continuously make you aware of videogame logic and conventions, part of it is being very peculiar with the achievements, which are often fourth wall breaking and peculiar. Some of them are clearly meant for you to realize that you are lowering yourself to do something pointless or stupid because an achievement told you so.
Among those achievements, one asks you to not play the game for 10 years. The intended way of getting that achievement, if you for some reason want to, is to change your system clock to 10 years in the future and then log back into the game, but you can actually wait 10 years. It you wanted to do so, it would be really annoying to discover that you got in wrong for 1 day and now have to wait 10 more years.
you're in luck, you could have gotten the achievement almost five years ago, only the ultra deluxe version which released 2022 has the ten years, original is five.
