Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.
I like playing games that incentivise stealth as Michael Bay films. Give me rocket launchers and c4. Yeah I don't have the high score for the level but I will kill literally every single non-vital NPC.

I was part of some exploration guilds in World of Warcraft with the aim to explore every inch of the Azeroth, get beyond every instance border and just climb hard terrain even if there was an easier way up.

I'm starting a run of Project Zomboid without zombies

For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.

Ooooh but this makes some sense though, it just becomes a post apocalyptic world then

Turned off the aggro on the patrolling demons in Murdered: Soul Suspect, because an otherwise peaceful detective adventure - where you play as a ghost investigating your own murder - really didn't need the random stressful action sequences

️Premise of that game is making me ask: have you played Ghost Trick before?

Factorio is fun for me until oil comes up.
I have managed to play further with the black market mod. I can make whatever item I want, sell enough of it and buy the things I want or need instead of making them myself.
Other mods add more powerful machines that make items much faster. I like to do manually stuff with one machine only, then swap to something else with the same machine and repeat the process.

Who amongst us hasn't played GTA at least once while trying to drive around and follow all the traffic laws for absolutely no reason at all
There's a wonderful contrarian-but-is-it-really-considering-it's-making-the-lawful-choice delight in trying to follow the rules in a game about breaking rules.
No-commentary video of someone just driving in GTA trying to follow the rules of the road. I'm usually really not a video person, but just watching this feels nice somehow.

I used to only do something called "surfing" in the Counter-Strike: Source days.
There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.

The original crackdown, the only movable object that was completely indestructible were the big yellow skips (don't know what Americans call them).
Would play in coop with one character fixed in a spot to stop them despawning and see how many I could gather from around the map and bring back. You could only carry them in your arms preventing you from driving and climbing the taller buildings, forcing you into unconventional routes through the city, often while being shot. Think I got about 20 as my record before having to sign off.

Did she make music? Holy shit - if you have a link I’ve been trying to figure out what happened to her for years. She’s genuinely a major inspiration for my painting and art.
Took some digging and I was incorrect. I was thinking of another modder.
Kukielle went from Skyrim mods to music:

With the update, even if you don't have the DLC, fluids have been rebalanced. You just have to place a pump every 200-250 tiles and everything flows.
For oil specifically, you don't need anything but petroleum liquid until what used to be late game. So just build a few (like a dozen) refineries and make sure that there's actually oil coming in.
Once you actually need lubricant, and light oil, set up chemical plants to turn heavy oil into lube and light oil, and light oil into petroleum gas. It won't be fast, but it won't clog and it will produce what you need, slowly.
I consider myself a Factorio apprentice, as I have yet to actually set up a proper train system. I'm slowly learning circuit logic, but can get to Gelba without getting stuck.
Don't stress optimization, brute force works as well.

There was a game called tribes that combined the surfing/skiing movement with combat before the counterstrike mod levels came out, it was pretty fun the sequel tribes 2 was pretty popular for a minute when it came out too. But the skill ceiling on some of those cs surf maps was wild.

The only flaw with that game is that there is no sequel

Exactly... I'm enjoying it very much so far.

The Ship. It's normally supposed to be a social deduction game, but some friends and I all get together in a private server and basically just play deathmatch. It's hilarious because most of fhe weapons are really hard to kill with and you still have to be sneaky because if you get caught, you go to jail (which is also full of shanks). It always leads to some great chaos, especially with more people.

TF2 Had surf maps too, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time on those. Got super good at it too.

Oil is where Factorio becomes factoriohno
