Not exactly the same thing, but when I got my first VR HMD, for about two weeks afterwards I had to fight the urge that my real hands were the fake ones rather than the ones I would see in VR. Supposedly it's something like 25% of first time VR users who get a similar feeling, but it didn't make me feel any better about it. Never happened again, even with how rare I play VR games, but it was rather off-putting.

Oh just thought of another one: when I was playing WoW back in 2005, I got so into it that it was effecting everything. My social life died and it was effecting work enough that my boss had to have a long convo with me to get my shit together. But what really made me realize how bad it had gotten was having dreams where dialog with people I knew IRL was all in text and I would have to type responses to people when face to face with them.

That's what 25 years in IT did for me.

"A flare"?! So you don't throw 3 flares in rapid succession and then complain that flares take too long to recharge? Just me? ...okay.

Let me guess, you work at a rope factory?

When the only choices are parkour or menus? Yes.

This was from 2 years ago by the looks of it (found a Reddit post of this from 2y ago, can't see the date on mobile though). It just was coincidental there was another one literally today too in the early morning hours.

Also a tornado warning will never last that long (over 15 hours), it's generally 15 to 30 min and very location specific. It may be longer if there's a long chain of storms all showing signs of active circulation on the way through, but anything over an hour is pretty rare, even in tornado alley.

For reference, they literally just broke VPNs for many people and corporations are now having to roll back updates for their staff

800-53 Rev 5 is such a pain in the ass to implement fully but holy shit is it much needed. Bad actors out there everywhere and if followed to the letter, those controls will save you almost every step of the way. "Almost" because there will always be a new method to infiltrate an organization or agency, but the damage control built into these controls should lessen the impact regardless.
