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 used to look at my real-life hands and admire the perfect finger tracking.

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

I did this on a book a few weeks ago and I've never felt so dumb.

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.

I've never wanted an e-reader before, but I didn't know that was a feature.

I've always said a good book makes you read the dictionary. But this would make it so much easier.

[–] LongRedCoat@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I also read some things in the languages I'm trying to learn, and this feature is essential for translating words I don't know yet.

Plus, the backlight (adjusted for warmth so as not to keep me up) lets me read in bed with the light off and I don't have to get up to turn it off when I'm done.

I was very pro only real books for a while, and still am a fan of a real book, but the quality of life features of e-readers eventually sold me. Especially because night is one of the few times I can read.

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.

Same boat, sibling, same boat...

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

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I sometimes find myself slightly frustrated that I can't hang up in real life.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

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.

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...

[–] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

When I first got VR, I played Skyrim on PS4. One morning, I woke up to pee and held my hands by my sides as if using an invisible controller to aim my movement and kind of glided across the floor. Realized what I was doing by the time I got to the door.

Wait until this isn't funny anymore

Happened to me once, lol
