This is really embarrassing, but I played so much battlefield 3 once that I felt the urge to reflexively “spot” some people walking in the distance (IRL 💀) to see whether they were friend or foe.
I didn’t have a keyboard, so there’s nothing I could even do about it, but the fact that I felt the urge really made me pause.
I agree they’re not 1:1 but imo you can’t feel the “actions in real life” part without being heavily incepted by a video game’s loops, like in your thoughts and dreams.

It’s never happened to you? It’s not like the thought actually makes it very far. It might just get like a momentary impulse, like “keep right side clear” or “hope I get a line.”
But even those are too complex. It’s more abstract and pre conscious/verbal (at least for me).
