Red Dead Online is almost always my go to Fishing Game with friends. It just does the fishing aspect really well. Bonus points when the camp is setup near a river or pond

Most of my time in Elden Ring has been 1) ogling at the landscapes going "Holy shit this is metal", and 2) bravely running away.
Bravely running away is the quintessential FromSoft experience. The ultimate flex on enemies is to not even bother attacking them and just rolling to dodge occasionally while you grab items and run past them to the next checkpoint.
What? How else i'm supposed to play it?
Battlefield One
I don't play it anymore, but when I did with a friend, I broke the healer mechanic.
I always stayed with my friend and our team, and instead of a weapon I was carrying a syringe.
In a Match I ressurected up to 70 people, making us pretty much an undying army.
I would always top the leader Board in any game Mode.
A couple months in I saw copycats, but nobody came close to my insanity.
The next Iterations of the game sucked for me because they nerfed the mechanic extremely.
I think I've seen a video showcasing this tactic. Dude with a Syringe just running around, picking up his teammates as soon as they downed. It was great :D
If I can get it working, I will absolutely use debug mode on pokemon fan games because it saves me time not to have to do things like going back for healing my party, grinding to a certain level defeating bosses I'm not supposed to using cheated in legendaries, etcetera.
Definitely not developer intended, nor am I sure this would count for an intended answer to the question. Otherwise, I cannot think of any other answers to this question.
I don't think this is super uncommon but in harder difficulties of Terraria, I just play the game as a fishing game. I pretty much exclusively fish for the first few hours of the game and gear up solely through fishing. Then I repeat for the 2nd half of the game as well. I'm also setting up huts in every biome location to do fishing quests.
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.
Whenever I played The Ship back in the day or always seemed it was mostly murder and no deduction other than "did my target change outfits"?
Good game though. Very fun.
I used to only do something called "surfing" in the Counter-Strike: Source days.
There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.
Source best game.
I still have KSF Clan server list in my bookmarks for easy access. When theres nothing to play, just play surf.
Also, shoutout to momentum mod, a standalone game with surf, bhop, defrag, rocket jump, sticky jump and more in one single game. Coming out soon ™️
TF2 Had surf maps too, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time on those. Got super good at it too.
you might enjoy the game Haste, it has a demo on steam
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 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.
big yellow skips
A trash container? I'm neither Bri'ish, or 'Murican, so I have no idea 😂
Dumpster apparently
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.
I don't think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.
With the new belt reading mechanics, I'm trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.
Oil is where Factorio becomes factoriohno
The updated fluid mechanics are a lot more forgiving and basically have infinite throughput. It's still a whole new layer of complexity but doesn't have nearly as many confusing limitations as it used to.
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 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. It won't be fast, but it won't clog and it will produce what you need, slowly. You can use storage tanks as a buffer for your lube, light oil, and petroleum. Heavy oil isn't used as a direct input for any assembler recipe.
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.
According to my father, who is an absolute Epic Wizard level computer programmer consultant, Factorio teaches you the basics of computer programming.
Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west. I just roam around and by accident find the missions I’m supposed to do. I also exploit all the enemies, there is a hard lock on where they can walk, so I just stand 10 meter out of the zone and start hitting big enemies for 5 minutes without taking damage.
I will blame Skyrim for this behaviour
I think I did that a few times in ZD when I first played. You likening it to Skyrim for that makes sense. The classic "if I stand on this rock, the giant can't launch me into space"
