Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

In Rust you can host your own server, and if you do that on your own local network with nobody else connected, then you have a very large world, with only like a couple of things that can kill you, and you can have a very fun, laid-back, relaxing, you know, builder, simulator, survival thing.
And also Skyrim. I have been trying to complete every single side quest and every single add-on side quest that I can, while basically not advancing the game at all. My current game is easily 40 hours in, and I only recently defeated the first dragon that you can kill as part of the main quest.

The only thing with Rust is you need to pay for your own server on top of paying for the game. I want to play it, I want to try it because I like survival crafting games; but I’ve also seen and heard all the horror stories about Rust players, so I really wouldn’t want to just jump into any server

Many computers have enough spare compute power to run the server in addition to the game all on the same system.
I know I’m coming from a position of privilege because I was playing it on a 5950X with 64 gigs of RAM and a 3090, but even so, like it barely even broke a sweat.

Many games that have multiplayer and singleplayer options run singleplayer by hosting a server and then joining it.

And then you’ve got the new Battlefield 6 which requires you to wait your turn to connect to their remote server so you can pay the Singleplayer campaign.
