This is really embarrassing, but I played so much battlefield 3 once that I felt the urge to reflexively "spot" some people walking in the distance (IRL 💀) to see whether they were friend or foe.

I didn't have a keyboard, so there's nothing I could even do about it, but the fact that I felt the urge really made me pause.

Kids used to spam hadouken and kamehameha to each other back then. Not sure what kids these days do though.

Not games, but I was Naruto running back in that show's heyday.

WR:SR made me appreciate industrial areas and utility vehicles (road or rail).

Civ V: USA has cultural domination in my country. Sometimes I see a building and think that this could be a wonder.

Witcher 3: "It looks like rain.", when it's very obviously raining very much already. Not everyone gets this.

CDDA: I sometimes value clothing by the volume of its pockets (I haven't put spaghetti in any bag yet though...). After binging, I sometimes get unconsciously afraid of people, like drunkards in the night shouting and being loud.

Assassin's Creed: Suspicious haystacks...

Half life alyx had me flicking my wrist to try and gravity glove small items I needed. I remember having a late night sesh of HL Alyx and in a sleep deprived state trying it multiple times and not understanding why it wasn't working.

I've attempted to quicksave a couple of times before parallel parking my truck.

I just considered that like an hour ago. Car’s parked next to building, trash truck blocking me in. So I thought “I could go this way instead” where “this way” is a little slope, then turn onto the sidewalk for 50 feet then get to the road.

I'm so happy to learn that other people also change lanes at a stop light to try to complete a row.

It hasn't once cleared the line 😠

Played so much Assassin's Creed, I too wanted to jump off the top of a building.

That's what 25 years in IT did for me.

I laughed, but then cried in yaml.

My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)

Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.

And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.

The Long Dark. Hearing crows in the distance gives me the urge to go check to see if there’s any useful loot.

Descent had me reacting to the cashier door at fast food places

It's not quite emulating the game's moves and such

But some years back I played so much SMT IV on the 3DS (which is a quite striking-looking game with the stereoscopic effects on. Characters are anime art but everything has depth and it looks real neat) that whenever I'd look at a plan wall, I'd see patterns moving back and forth as though they were objects in the game's stereoscopic effect.

It's been a good while since I was actively gaming but when I was a very active player in a certain game called "unturned" I achieved a point where I could VERY vividly imagine different scenarios and simulate them for pretty long. It was a pretty interesting experience because I don't have that strong of a visual imagery. I'm pretty sure that I have experienced the tetris effect to be it either with this or other games but I can't recall any examples.

(Damn just noticed that I say "pretty" a lot.)

intensely_human ,

Pretty much

TheBananaKing ,

Long, long ago, when HL2DM was a thing, I was jogging hone from work, past the edge of a park.

A kid kicked a football towards the fence just ahead of me, and I started sprinting... and then realised that no, this isn't the perfect gravgun kill, stop it.
