not like you need VR for that lmao, if i've binged a game for too long i'll wake up the next morning wondering where my inventory is for a few seconds, before remembering that reality exists
All I will say is those aren't just isolated stories. Even I've been guilty of thinking staying in the headset is genuinely more comfortable than waking up to reality.
Reminds me of the book Beyond the Veil of Stars. People travel between worlds by putting their minds into alien species, some of which are quite foreign (e.g. a rodent with multiple bodies), and folks get pretty messed up.
