I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There seems to be one or two Sims channels on YouTube where the people running the channel have little or no interest in playing the game and instead just build and furnish houses/shops.
I thought The Sims started out as an architecture/interior design game and the social/life simulation stuff we all know it for came later.
I’ve seen it said in several places; this was the most credible-looking spot I could find on the first page of my search.
It’s actually really fun to do interior design and architecture with it.
I’m half convinced the folks who mod in new furniture and decor are already architects…
