What's your opinion on getting video game achievements with the help of a guide? (lemm.ee)

Specially the ones where you have to find stuff.

I usually attempt and manage to get them without looking up any info, but other times I miss something and I don't want to go thru the tedious process of re-combing whole sections of the levels, or even starting over, just to find some stupid note that I overlooked. Yet, I want the achievement, so I end up looking a guide and I feel like I haven't truly earned the achievent.

Yes, I know that playing a videogame shouldn't become a task and that I simply should play it the way I enjoy it the most, but I want too see what others think.

Usually I tend to want to try things myself until I get extremely frustrated. I enjoy games more when I have to figure it all out myself. But at some point, when I've achieved most of the main game and I'm on to the extra stuff, I tend to look some stuff up. Some extra content like sidequests or achievements are just silly and don't really bring me any joy to solve, so I make them a bit easier by looking up parts of it.

I don't care how anyone else plays the games though. They should play a game however they like
