This is a very mild violation, but I like to play these puzzles: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
…except that I create a custom difficulty level which is quite a step below the easiest difficulty and then I almost rather speedrun the puzzles.

The Rectangles puzzle at 5x5 size has been my crack for the past months and I’m at about 13 seconds now (using my phone as input).

I mean, it’s very casual speedrunning. No one cares about my time, so I actually never timed myself before just now. But yeah, I just like the different challenge of thinking fast rather than complex.

I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

About half the time I play Cyberpunk 2077 as a first-person RPG. The other half of the time I just play it as a city/driving-simulator.

Watch Dogs 2. I’ve barely touched the story and just mess around.

omarfw,

I love invading people’s games and then never hacking them. It doesn’t tell them you’ve invaded so you can just mess with them covertly and pretend to be an NPC.

Mindustry It goes from a tower defense game to a logistics game for me Forget enemies, How can I haul the most amount of shit down data pipelines without letting a single container hold items for too long? My worlds are just a absolute mess of conveyor belts going everywhere, transport drones coming and going, items being produced, used, machined and consumed everywhere And the only purpose is to give me more endpoints to grow it

Elevator7009,

I gave Mindustry a shot and faded out at the tower defense bit of the tutorial. I do like !automationgames even though tower defense is not my thing, so I’m wondering: how do you manage to forget enemies and just make it a logistics game?

AceFuzzLord,

Not AkatsukiLevi, but probably just finish the enemy waves/bases as fast as possible, followed by tearing everything down and rebuilding for maximum efficiency since you can always leave and come back without ever having to worry about enemies after clearing a level*.

*assuming there isn’t a feature where enemies can respawn and retake levels that I haven’t reached far enough to find exists

AkatsukiLevi,
@AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, custom game. Edit a existing map to have 0 waves and you’re Gucci In campaign tho, I have found there’s a few commands you can use to instantly conquer a map. It’s cheating, but it let’s me focus on what I want

JakobFel, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?
@JakobFel@retrolemmy.com avatar

Dying Light’s movement is phenomenal, a must play IMO due to its awesome parkour movement systten.

Minecraft. You think that there’s no way to play Minecraft “wrong”, right up until you accidentally fall into the 4-block wide valley that I’ve cut through the entire map or walk into the liminal space that I’ve mined out just above bedrock. Fuck cutesy cottages and Minecraft in minecraft- let’s just build superstructures that disappear beyond the draw distance of the map. Fuck creative mode- let’s do it while we’re facing down mobs day and night. Fuck explosives- do that shit with a pick like a goddamn man. You haven’t really seen confused rage until your child discovers hundreds of unexplained and unexplainable brutalist towers extending into the distance like the gravestones of alien gods when they thought you were building a farm over the next hill.

. . . I gotta tour one of your worlds someday

Shit like this I have only seen in a Manga once, forgot the name, but basically bunch of robots that humanity made were let loose without humans(they died) and they kept building giant megastructures for no reason without stopping It’s just absolutely surreal and I just love it

JigglySackles,

Sounds like Blame! which is one of my favorite graphic novels

There’s a great level of detail mod that can keep distant structures and terrain loaded in. I think it’s called Distant Horizons. That and a render performance improvement are the only mods that I play with, makes such a big difference.

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

Almost all of them. Including the game of life.

battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.

Any of The Forest games become basically a zipline simulator once that is unlocked.

As in, clear fell the forest so we can build ziplines everywhere.

I guess risk of rain 2.

I’ve fought the boss before but never any of the new ones. I don’t touch lunar items I just get to the last teleporter and loop around again and again. I rarely end the game I just play until I get bored and then close the game.

Still got like 400 something hours in the game on steam and on PS4 that I don’t even know

I played stealth games like Hitman like a mass murderer.

I also play the “infiltrator” class in Mass Effect without tactical cloak. I mean it’s a mix of soldier and engineer, why should it be focused on stealth ?

AceFuzzLord,

Absolutely a fun way to play Hitman. Definitely makes the game so much more fun, especially if you are playing on a crowded map and are trying to take out every single person possible without dying on harder difficulties.

We don’t need stealth where we’re going!

DrSteveBrule,

My cousin and I spent a summer messing around in hitman blood money when we were younger. There’s a level that takes place in a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. We managed to kill every single npc undetected with the snare wire and dump theoe bodies into the sewer to leave no evidence. After each level, the game generates a newspaper article to describe the events and it basically said everyone in the neighborhood just vanished.

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

forrgott,

Hmm. Nope.

That’s what Streets of SimCity was for!

QuadratureSurfer,
@QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world avatar

Well unless you did sunday driving… And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.

MNByChoice,

Oh, yeah! Get a car, find a quite park, turn on the radio and chill.

Agrivar,

Every time I log into that game I like to pick a car from my garage, smoke a fatty (in RL), and then drive all slow and chill from my apartment to the golf course. Pretend like I’m afraid of getting pulled over! Then I play a quick 9 holes. Generally, after that, I’m done with GTA for another month or so.

Elevator7009,

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.

Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?

If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.

gamermanh,

Sorta? Multiple that make you watch your speed, for sure

Driver’s law mechanics in a mission/mode of GTA would be amazing, wanted level system from 2 included (with a way to clear your on-foot wanted, of course)

CheeseNoodle,

People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain’t funny anymore and they wouldn’t do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Fucking driver! WTF is solemn‽
