OMG FINALLY!!! Thank you to the tenish people I privately messaged and gave me some tips/tricks. What did it for me was getting insanely lucky with the speedrun that WhyNot360 linked me that showed how to get rid of a Lava Slug at the beginning to only have three to worry about. I then got even more lucky and knocked two more out by the time they had 21 so I only have to worry about a single Lava Slug.

To help with anyone having trouble with this, here are a few tips:
- The lava slugs have two spawn points, in front of the door and the entryway of the stage. It helps to do laps in a circle, hitting the computers in between while knocking them away at their spawn points.
- Try timing the battering ram when the slugs are lined up with the lava lake instead of in the middle of the arena. A whacked slug that bumps into a computer still counts as a computer for them and not you.
- When given the choice between a cluster of computers and whacking slugs, prioritize the slugs. You can always swing back and grab them, but getting too many will cause more to drop, and the drop point can very easily be on top of another slug, so it's best to clear the field first.
- Take it easy. Turning too hard and too frantically can cause you to shoot right past a cluster of computers, and require you to make a second loop. Don't freak out, and with practice, you'll consistently get clusters of 5 easily.

This achievement is not very fun

What worked for me was prioritizing getting monitorss over getting slugs. Obviously ram slugs out of the way if they're in your path, but this is a race against time and your wincon is getting 60 monitorss. The best way to ensure that they don't hit 30 is getting to 60 before they hit 30. Beyond that, circle the arena and be aggressive about getting monitors. A lot of this is luck-based too, as I've had runs of this die to monitors falling on the slugs too much.

Be sure to move the camera right and left to get a better look on the lava monsters. That helped me a lot!

In this speedrun, he completes it with the slugs only collecting 13 computers: https://youtu.be/tVIchQ5GP_4?si=-BXKC5Cat6OVtcmj&t=1535

Won at 29 computers. Some of the tips above work, specially prioritizing on getting the slugs and moving the camera to get a better view on where they are. They tend to spawn less often the more you get them it seems

Why does every game on retro achievements need to have some difficulty achievement that isn't Fun?
