Not sure how to title this better 😅

Are there any games that you tend to play contrary to how they are intended?

What prompted this question was playing Project Zomboid; but I am all comfortable and snug in my home base that it doesn’t feel like playing a zombie survival game anymore. I feel like I am just playing The Sims with a character that mimics my introverted ass. I never leave the house and just spend all day reading, watching videos, learning new crafts, and just staying alive. I have no need to scavenge since I am loaded up with tons of armor, guns, ammo, food, a source of water, a generator and acess to a near limitless supply of fuel from an underground fuel tank generated in the basement.

How 'bout y’all? Do you prefer Surf to actual Counter-Strike? Have an unconventional way of playing Pokemon? I wanna know! 😃

    the “big list of randomizers” actually does not allow randomizers that are prone to softlocks

    that wouldn’t be a randomizer, it would just be random lol

    I’m not sure where that common misconception of randomizers softlocking came from, it would be considered a bug

      I’ve seen plenty of Dark Souls randomizer runs that have to be restarted before leaving the asylum at the start because it didn’t spawn the key needed to leave. But that also was quite some time ago when these things were fairly new.

        Also remember that randomizers often have a lot of settings to customize, and sometimes they’ll have an option to disable the logic checks, so the players might’ve been doing this to themselves lol.

        I know the Zelda, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, and Deus Ex randomizers are very robust against softlocks.
