When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school.
What’s yours?

Especially slightly angled walls!
When I played Superhot. It’s a slow motion shooter where enemies and bullets only move in real time when the player is moving.
I only played it a few minutes at a time, but each time I looked up from my desktop I was surprised that stuff was in motion even though I wasn’t.
Very weird effect and it set in each time I played.
I got access to a really nice VR system through work and binged through Half Life Alyx. I was in a room that was large enough to walk around in, but for larger moves you use the controller to teleport a short distance. Also you can gravity attract items within a few yards with your gloves.
After playing the first time I went to cook dinner and got embarrassingly frustrated when I tried to summon a spoon with a hand gesture.
I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.

That is a pretty bad description of the Tetris effect. Also incredibly misleading. The very short description from Wikipedia reads:
The Tetris effect occurs when someone dedicates vast amounts of time, effort and concentration on an activity which thereby alters their thoughts, experiences, dreams, and so on.
