One way I often diverge from “rules as written” is with GMing techniques. If I run a #TTRPG from 1982, I don’t magically forget about floating clues, fail forward, fiction first, and anything else I’ve learned that isn’t explicitly written in that 1982 rulebook. In that sense, I house-rule a lot!
I usually run a #TTRPG as-written and occasionally tweak a couple minor things later (although some may not consider them “minor” in some cases). I sometimes add rules (e.g. a custom subsystem for one adventure). That’s it… except RQG. Oh my gods, RQG needs so much house ruling to work.

No, white guy in the giant shiny pickup truck who’s honking because the cars in front are waiting for it to be safe to turn left. I’m not shaking my head at them, I’m shaking my head at you.
My sympathies to the woodpecker I just saw being yelled at by his girlfriend for 5 minutes straight until he left the nest in a hurry.
