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?
