Silly Habits

[Tonberry]

What are some silly habits you have?
It can be anything, not necessarily related to video games, but not something "serious"! Only silly, innocuous habits allowed!

I'll start:
I almost always watch youtube videos at 480p because I feel like I waste CPU usage if I go higher.

If I drive under a freeway interchange near here, I have to see what time it is when I pass under the point where they meet. If I don't, the car will blow up. Who decided this, I don't know.

 

[NemissaFotia]

There's a long debunked rumour that holding down+B right as the Pokeball hits a Pokemon will guarantee a catch.

Still do it.

Mate i'm fucking OCD. I'm basically a bundle of silly habits in human form.

 

[Glimbo]

If a game has auto-saves and manual-saves, I never trust the auto-save.
Also double saving when I'm ready to quit the game just in case.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Never knew that watching a video on low quality would be silly, I'll always watch most of the videos in 360p because I like how quick it loads the video

I have a habit of clapping my hands for no reason at random.

I like to skate with specific music playing whilst talking to myself, makes me feel like a coming-of-age protagonist.

I always say "good night" to the two figures of Princes Peach, loli figure, geisha figure and bulbasaurus toy.

Do the same with my plushies, gotta make sure just incase they come alive one day.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

I talk in my sleep and I mean most of sleeping hours, that and I am a very heavy sleeper Thunder or earthquakes don't wake me.
I been continually won the "worse person to sleep award", in communal spaces like training camps

Pick my nose or graze my teeth

 

[Kamako]

I have a selection of stock words, phrases and lyrics that I will just blurt out without consideration of context or circumstances.

Before going out, I check if I have everything I need WAAAY too many times. Minimum 4 times. Same goes for my alarm clock before going to bed. I also have a very specific step-by-step way of doing it.

 

[Gorse]

Whenever I play a video game with manual saving, I save the game like 5 times in a row before turning it off, just in case. JUST IN CASE

 

[Ian Naxieas]

I echo a lot of these, but my specific one is one I just noticed. When browsing lists of something, I'll start at the top and go down about 1/4th of the list normally, then go to the bottom of the list and finish it by reading the remaining 3/4ths from the bottom up. I know I never used to do this, what the hell made me do it in the first place, let alone make it a habit?

 

[bosefff]

until a year ago i never beat any games, i would get to the end and then abandon it. i think i just didn't like the thought of the game ending. now i have to go back through lots of games to beat the final moments (乛-乛)

 

[PSVitaForever]

As other people said above, I always save at least two times in a row, just to be sure
I also keep the volume of my pc at 15% by default.
I don't think I am OCD, but I'm glad I'm not alone in doing all these silly things!

In my region, we rapidly pressed A and B alternately.
Even if the whole world condemns me, I will believe until the end.

I, too, have the same syndrome.... I often find myself checking to see if I have closed the front door properly?

Yes, i save 5 times in a row, and i rotate saves between slots if i am allowed to, or make new ones(i have been burned by Sierra far too many times).

 

[Strategist's icon Strategist Strategist]

Game save and Save State every hour or so. Not doing so has bit me in the ass so many times in the past.

I'd say posting on this forum has become a silly habit of mine. I also always quadruple check my phone and possessions before I leave a place. But that is hardly a silly habit, that is just good common sense.

Yeah, I do that as well.
