Maybe you see a plant you have to collect in game or a rock wall that looks different. What items have you caught out of the corner of your eye that you realized was just your brain so focused on looking for things in a game that you saw it IRL and made you double take?

When I first played Skyrim, I spent so long just wandering around, harvest every mountain flower I found, that every time I saw a bush with flowers, I felt the urge to harvest them because obviously that's just what you do when you see something that can be harvested. The dopamine hit from resource gathering is very real.

Hahaha, yeah I remember going out in nature back then and the game invaded my reality. I felt the need to harvest plants, but managed to control myself.
