I've always been quite deadline driven. So the week before going to the breakpoint demo party I wrapped up a Commodore 64 demo in a long series of all-nighters.

When I finally crashed I was dreaming 6502 assembly.

Skyrim, keep seeing things to harvest. Neighbour grew leeks at one point.

I used to play multiplayer Agar.io a few years ago and got this badly, the game is about circles of various sizes attacking each other and there are circles everywhere irl.

corsicanguppy ,

Agario is awesome.

I may play that right now.

I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

Some chalk me being a bad driver down to having played games like Mario Kart leading up to the test.

Jarlsburg ,

I got access to a really nice VR system through work and binged through Half Life Alyx. I was in a room that was large enough to walk around in, but for larger moves you use the controller to teleport a short distance. Also you can gravity attract items within a few yards with your gloves.

After playing the first time I went to cook dinner and got embarrassingly frustrated when I tried to summon a spoon with a hand gesture.

TheRealKuni ,

Yes! The telestep-urge happened to me with RE4 VR. I was trying to move around my house with my thumb!

VRChat of all things. I have caught myself a few times doing the various finger gestures used to control expressions.

Deep Rock Galactic. I kept wanting to toss a flare anytime I walked into a dark room.

naticus ,

"A flare"?! So you don't throw 3 flares in rapid succession and then complain that flares take too long to recharge? Just me? ...okay.

I always feel like I should throw a turtle shell at the idiot driving in front of me

When I caught myself planning exactly how I'd scale that building wall, AC style.

When I visited Italy for the first (and last) time a few years back, I kept thinking the same!

Hadriscus ,

ah yes haha, rings a bell ! gothic churches especially have a ton of protruding, grabbable details

TheRealKuni ,

Yep, I do remember this with AC. I posted about the one that hit me harder, which was Crackdown.

If I spent a lot of time training I could theoretically move similarly to the characters in AC. No matter how much training I do I’ll never be able to leap multiple stories in one jump up.

Not exactly the same thing, but when I got my first VR HMD, for about two weeks afterwards I had to fight the urge that my real hands were the fake ones rather than the ones I would see in VR. Supposedly it's something like 25% of first time VR users who get a similar feeling, but it didn't make me feel any better about it. Never happened again, even with how rare I play VR games, but it was rather off-putting.

Oh just thought of another one: when I was playing WoW back in 2005, I got so into it that it was effecting everything. My social life died and it was effecting work enough that my boss had to have a long convo with me to get my shit together. But what really made me realize how bad it had gotten was having dreams where dialog with people I knew IRL was all in text and I would have to type responses to people when face to face with them.

TheSambassador ,

This is a really common experience for a ton of VR gamers. The thing I remember the most is how white text on a black background (usually my phone) made it seem like the text was really 3D and coming out at me. It fades away but I'm sure we're going to find out some interesting things about the brain from this phenomenon.

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking "I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer"

Hadriscus ,

I think it was Tomb Raider 2, one of the first games I played. The character movements were so etched in me, I began viewing the world subdivided in blocks, small steps and large steps

SqueakySpider ,

Not a video game - after using OneNote on an iPad with a stylus for a lot of time, going back to using paper I tried to undo pencil strokes very often at first.

Drivebyhaiku ,

I was a localization playtester at Koei for their release of Gundam Musou and played the game 40 hours a week as a job looking for errors in the Subtitles. We started with the subtitle with Japanese version and so about two weeks in I get a massive anime style fever and end up living stuck in the video game's stupid hackneyed story mode. Everybody in the dream was speaking Japanese way beyond my extraordinarily basic level so I was frustrated that I couldn't understand anything, It was a dull and repetitive hack and slash which I would occasionally revive and wake up from briefly to sigh with relief that it was over at last before passing out and going right back in. I was rescued 16 hours later by my housemates who were worried when I didn't check in.

It was bizarrely hellish.

When I'm looking at a huge building or scene, I instinctively think "press F4 to enable freecam" from Minecraft so that I can look from above and noclip. But alas, it's not possible :'(
