Playing anything after playing assassin’s creed for a month: why the fUCK can’t I climb this
assassin’s creed was the first video game I ever played, and I finished the first game in a weekend more or less without pause. then I went to work on Monday and, being totally unfamiliar with the Tetris effect, was extremely taken aback by the immediate impulse to reach my teller station by vaulting over the counter. I mean, I didn’t even question it at first. I made it maybe two long purposeful steps forward before my brain caught up and I spent the rest of the day doubting my own actions.
One time I played so much Bioshock at the weekend that on my walk to uni the next day I saw a vaguely rectangular bit of trash out the corner of my eye and automatically thought “better pick up that first aid kit”
When fallout 4 came out, I played so much of it that when I saw a pile of wood near my house, I tried to scrap it and was perplexed as to why it wasn’t selectable.
after playing the sims i mistakenly thought i was alive and had feelings
#bullshit nobody feels alive after playing the sims
I binged Breath of the Wild for like a week at my parents’ house, and when I came home and looked out of my apartment window, I saw a tower lit up in orange, and immediately thought “oh shit i forgot one. gotta go climb it.”
I can’t even remember what game I was binge-playing at the time, but I went out to my front yard on a super foggy day and deadass stood there for a good minute waiting for the rest of the world to render
After too much Overwatch I really wanted to hit a fire extinguisher I saw.
there’s nothing quite like being confused when you can’t slip past someone invisibly after a month solid of crysis
