At periods when playing a lot of geoguessr I often catch myself looking at license plates and street signs when walking on the street, as if trying to figure out where I am.

Also years after I stopped playing assassin's creed, I still get a mental image of a red outline when I walk too close to a cop.

When I was reaaaaally playing too much Hitman I began to notice large containers that could fit human bodies inside.

I've been playing the videogame, watched the entirety of the anime, and read some of the manga of Made in Abyss, and the other day I got nervous about walking upstairs 😂

When I played Superhot. It's a slow motion shooter where enemies and bullets only move in real time when the player is moving.

I only played it a few minutes at a time, but each time I looked up from my desktop I was surprised that stuff was in motion even though I wasn't.

Very weird effect and it set in each time I played.

I remember they made a VR version of the game, which I was very keen on. And I imagine the VR aspect would've made that effect even stronger.

Back in 2001, I was walking along the street and passed a new BMW and all I could think was △ △ △.

Took me a beat to realise GTA III was fucking with my mind.

Assassin's Creed, I want to, and quickly form a strategy to, climb every building after playing.

When I was in high school I was up way too late playing D&D and dreamt I was the general of an army.

In the shower I was questioning how we'd all get clean in time for school.

Back in the day after a while of playing The Sims I started organizing my free time like in the game e.g. "I'm going to take a shit now and then I'll study a bit" etc... I stopped playing soon after, not sure if it was because of that, it was funny though.

Tomb Raider on OG PlayStation.

I remember walking around after pretty much a solid day of playing and just seeing buildings in terms of which ones Lara / I could climb.

Back during the WoW days (the flying mount expansion), every time I would walk home from Uni I'd think: "This would be a lot faster if I turned into a crow and flew over these houses".

I played a Druid.

For me it was Monster Hunter World. I'd be lying in bed and on my head I was just going through the motions of fighting a monster, complete with the button combinations and all.

Bonus: when I started learning programming I was at an after Party at a friend's place after a night out and was on a few things and when I closed my eyes I would see lines of code and functions etc.

I then went to the toilet after partaking in some ketamin, and I tried to solve/debug the function in my head to release urine from my bladder. Fun times!

When I'm in the middle of solving a tough engineering problem, I'll wake up in the middle of the night in these kinds of stupors. I can't fall asleep because I need to solve some non-existent problem...eventually I wake up just enough to convince myself the problem isn't real and go back to sleep. It's the worst.

Maybe not exactly the same thing, but I have had pretty heavy Minecraft building binges that leave me looking at IRL buildings thinking, "huh, I wonder how I'd build that in Minecraft. Obviously I could put a full block there, but that detail would be sub-block, so maybe I could imply that with a chiseled variant...and that's brick, but it's a dark and weathered red brick, so I guess I'd have to use...maybe terracotta? And dang, that curved archway would be murder to recreate accurately, this building might need to be at 1:1.5 scale to even do it justice..."

Not from a video game exactly, but in the early days of the internet, I had urges to delete things instead of putting them into the trash.

Portal 2. Finished it in a few days and for a day or two afterwards my brain found blank white/beige wall surfaces very attention-grabbing.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I knew I'd been playing too much GTA (would have been around the VC/SA days probably) when I was out driving one day, heard sirens, and looked up in the corner of my windshield to see if I had any stars.

Everyone gangsta till you do this and actually see 4 stars on the windshield
