What Quirks Did You Pick up from a Game?
Having been a gamer for over 20 years, my life has been shaped by various games, and gaming habits have naturally found their way into my everyday routines.
In RDR2, Greeting everyone made me more comfortable greeting strangers in real life.
In every RPG, I suffer from the 'go home before saving the game offline syndrome.' This means that before I save and close the game, I always feel the need to return to a location similar to the character's 'home' or else I feel uneasy.
In Animal Crossing, whenever I need to log off, I always make sure to head straight to my in-game bedroom at home.
When I see skyscrapers in real life, I feel the urge to climb to the top and leap down into the grass, just like I do in Assassin's Creed.
Similarly, Fallout has made me look at things and assess what I’d get if I scrapped it. My neighbor was throwing out an old freezer and when I saw it I couldn’t help but think “that’s probably like 8 steel, 2 rubber, 5 or 6 plastic and some copper and screws.”
There was also a period when I was deeply engrossed in playing Go. During meals, upon seeing the dishes on the table, I took the middle plate and took it to the kitchen. . .
