For me I think Pokemon Nuzlocke is quite fun, although I’ve only watched on Youtube.

    I’m on a streak where I only go fishing whenever the game supports that. Far Cry? Time to learn the mechanics. Minecraft? How about building a restaurant at the ocean and then bringing in the food. Some obscure casual game? You know it baby.

    Lots of games are a lot more fun if you roleplay them. Forget your meta knowledge, what would the character do? This adds a lot to strategy games as it adds challenge and puts you in interesting situations.

    Playing without savescumming is also a good challenge in a bug free game. I try to only savescum for bugs/missclicks.

    For MMOs - play through to the endgame with randoms only, no guild/org etc.

    Sometimes on easier soduku puzzles I complete one number at a time starting from 1 through to 9.

    fun might not be the right word, but I’ve been playing New Vegas and trying to throw out every piece of trash I can find. if adding an item to my inventory would cause karma loss, I use grab and move it over next to a trash can. I also separate the different kinds of trash, and in McCarran and Vikki and Vance I cleaned up the bar/restaurant areas by stacking plates and cups, and disposed of all cigarettes into ash trays. its… exhausting, really.

    I love playing Skyrim with certain challenges. For example:

    • Survival Master Difficulty with disabled compass and map. It makes the Skyrim wilderness a much more ruthless and immersive place. Or trying unusual character playstyles:
    • Get Lydia (or any other Follower) as quick as possible and play Healer only (Multiple Follower Mod recommended
    • Play a hand to hand combatant. Good options to make it viable are a Khajiit for the claw damage, getting vampirism for extra hand to hand damage and getting the pugilists gloves. Extremely powerfull, especially if you you choose to play a lvl1-only character.
    • playing without any equipment and items (maybe get some unenchanted clothes, so you don’t run around naked). Your best bets are probably a mage build, maybe Bretons with atronach stone for magic defense.

    In the original Borderlands, you can jump on to the heads of NPCs and other Player Characters.

    Once you are on top of someones head, you’ll sort of keep bouncing up and down, you can’t really “stand” on their head.

    We used to keep a stopwatch and see how long one of us could bounce for, before falling off. It’s been so long I don’t even recall our best record.

    However, it was one of the dumbest and funnest things we ever got up to in Borderlands.

      My friends and I did this too lol

      In 2, we’d also try to jump on each other’s heads without them noticing

      This is a limitation of the unreal engine, so you can do it any unreal game. Have fun bouncing

      (Currently I do this in drg while others are in menus)

    Play moonring and fully dedicate yourself to one god. No stat buffs from the other 4, no abilities from the other 4, no sinning against your current god.

    This one also gives you the bonus challenge of which god you pick, cause wolf moon is way easier than sanguine moon, etc.

    In FTL - Faster Than Light, on hard difficulty, take the stealth cruiser layout C (the one with no shields and no cloak). Kill the flagship without shield and cloak systems. Anything else that isn’t cheating is allowed. What defense strategies will you come up with?

    Last time I played Mario 64 on 3D All Stars I tried a “stay out of the basement” run, to see if I could collect enough stars to beat the game with only touching the basement levels to get the metal cap and do the required Bowser level for progression. I ended up picking up another game at the time before I finished it, but I’ve been looking for something to play this week after beating Tears of the Kingdom, so maybe I’ll go pick up where I left off while waiting for the Mario RPG remake!

    I replay the “Metroid-vania” Castlevanias every few years (SotN, GBA/DS games), and one of my goals is always maximum map completion… obviously not required for actually beating the games, but I only consider the game completed if I get all the rooms on my map.

    More specifically for SotN, I also gotta get the Crissaegrim + Medusa Shield otherwise am I even playing the game properly?

    Some of the others I try to get all the doodads: cards, souls, glyphs, whatever. Some are a bit more annoying than others, so sometimes I’ll skip out on the really annoying ones if I don’t get it done before filling in the map.
