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 Undertale they told me to wait. I still am;
- Playing exclusively as a greedy action house capitalist in wow (free servers though);
- Winning the actual race in Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now;
- Playing wow with a strict “red is dead” policy no matter the level no matter the place (I was not max level);
- Very often I skip all sort of sidequest because I feel it would be crazy for my character to prioritize whatever that is over the very serious threat tied with the main questline (Oblivion, the witcher…).
