I don’t mean Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom style “this game kind of asks to be broken and have its puzzles circumvented as a feature” stories, but more stuff like:

  • playing GTA while obeying all the traffic rules

  • playing Fortnite as a pacifist like in that one John Green youtube series on Hank Green’s gaming channel

  • a group inventing its own rules within a multiplayer game

  • driving around the race track backwards

  • collecting all the cabbages in skyrim and storing them in your house and having that be the only goal you care about

  • playing single player games as multiplayer ones

  • playing games that aren’t in a language you speak, and trying to understand it and its story and mechanics

  • playing a game with a wacky or unintended controls setup

  • self-assigning extra goals, like achievement hunting in ye olden days before achievements/trophies in the modern sense were a thing

And anything else along those lines.

Or your own personal speedrunning stories, too, especially if they’re funny, even though speedrunning has become its own big meta-game thing at this point, so most speedrunning is speedrunning done correctly/as intended in a way. Have any of you done speedrunning “incorrectly” somehow?

    In WoW I had a character that was only about fishing. I did some leveling, but at one point I just went places and fished. I had a friend escort me to higher level places to do the Nat Pagle quest.

    Once I was in a place way above my level and saw a guy fishing. I stood next to him and casted my lure and he was baffeled that I was high level enough to fish there.

    Eventually, though, I did not feel like paying monthly fees for a fishing game so I quit.
