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.
That is a pretty bad description of the Tetris effect. Also incredibly misleading. The very short description from Wikipedia reads:
The Tetris effect occurs when someone dedicates vast amounts of time, effort and concentration on an activity which thereby alters their thoughts, experiences, dreams, and so on.
Really? "Urge to do moves/actions from it in real life" is the same as thinking or dreaming about it?
From my experience with the Tetris effect, not one occurrence fits his description, but I experience the Tetris effect in most weeks in my life. That's why it feels like such a disconnected description for me.
I agree they're not 1:1 but imo you can't feel the "actions in real life" part without being heavily incepted by a video game's loops, like in your thoughts and dreams.
But I get it a lot less because I don't game as much these days
