When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?
When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school.
What's yours?

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.
Can confirm, kicked several objects and people while in VR, still unsure how many were real
My friend didn’t quite grasp the “keep moving slowly” concept. So whenever she thought she needed to, she would bolt.
This was usually fine, but at one point she was near the back of my couch and bolted forward, right through the virtual wall and flipped over my couch!
She was startled but fine, and I couldn’t stop laughing.
