One thing that's not a game that does affect me is drawing on a tablet though, at times I would try to press my shortcut button for undo to rewind time lol.
THIS IS SO REAL i've been a digital artist for a loooong time and it's hard to adjust to traditional art for this reason. my biggest thing is wanting to zoom in lol

A bit unrelated but after reading a short story where a guy gets a mind swapping machine to swap minds with things when I was like 10 or 11 years old, for the next few years of my life I would ask myself mind swapping questions to literally any media I consumed. It could be a movie or some random historical event or a video game. Literally anything.

I would always ask myself "would you rather be a hobo with a 5% chance of being inherited by a rich guy or be Hitler 2 years before the end of WW2?" kind of questions, and tbh I still kind of do it to this day. Like "would you rather swap minds with a North Korean peasant in 2025 or a guy in 16th centuary England, who is less poor, but you still have to live in the 16th century, and what would you do in each situation?"

Idk why the concept of mind swapping intrigued me so much.

I’ve had the Tetris effect happen to me a few times with more tactical games I played

For Tetris I remember how, at school, I’d start to make out the outlines of Tetris shapes in like the seating arrangements and try to fit them into each other in my mind, and for some other tactical game I remember just walking next to walls a whole lot more (the game, doorkickers, involves a lot of back-to-wall hugging and slight angles and stuff…)

so yha, never had it happen with splatoon, sky or anything else really… except those two…

oh that and rockstar presents table tennis… though that’s just table tennis so I don’t think that counts XD
