    I’ve occasionally been doing the reverse in a way. When playing on my Steam Deck my brain wants me to blow away the Steam menu after I’m done with it. No idea why my brain is trying to get me to do that

    When I first got vr. I had taken it off after a few days of play and pointed at the stairs trying to tp up them.

      I read on e-readers a lot and I’ve been known to long press a word on the page of a real book to get a definition. Yeah… Muscle memory is a hell of a thing.

    Man I had this after drawing a lot in procreate, then drawing on pen and paper again I tried to two-finger tap the sheet of paper to undo.

    I’ve never done this exactly, but I have always used hand gestures (even way before I saw my first touchscreen) to move and manipulate images, text, maps, math equations, etc. in my mind. It’s very helpful, but I’m pretty sure people think me insane.

    Told this before in other places, and loosely speaking, it’s kind of timely.

    20 or so years ago, re-playing the original Half-Life (thus “timely” because of the recent updates and 25th anniversary of it), I had a relative sat behind me watching me play.

    They asked me a question about something or other, and I immediately turned around to answer them.

    In game.

    I still remember where I was in the game and the milliseconds of confusion, realisation and feeling of stupidity.

    That game was, is, pretty engrossing to be fair.

    I’ve gotten so used to pausing podcasts that I have tried to pause people who are rambling on the phone

    Okay but this sort of inclination actually happens if you spend quite a long time in VR… No, I have not recently tried to pull my phone to me. Not recently…
