- We don’t reach the 500 mark because everyone’s too busy playing and writing IF games!
-
You know the mammoth cave’s look and layout by heart just by playing Adventure. By extension, you would also not get lost in such major places as the World Fair of Chicago, your own apartment, and Festeron.
-
You start doing unmotivated actions just because. In particular, you might start walking in funny ways just to see if the NPC’s reactions are implemented.

Your IF collection fills two 8gb DVDs.

You believe a higher, all-knowing, all-powerful entity guides your every move, taking you closer and closer to the end of your story, leading you to the dreaded “The End” screen and hoping for really, really funny AMUSING notes.

Addendum to 191: if you believe in reincarnation, you have the bonus of knowing you can be ressurected in a puff of orange smoke up to three times.
-
You have the irresistible urge to look inside mailboxes. Particularly other people’s.
I totally have this, but that’s mostly from playing too much Fallout: New Vegas.
- You find pop-up dialog boxes with yes/no buttons (the ones that’ve been around since Windows 3.1) far too fancy schmancy for their purpose.
- You expect proper grammar in a chat room? Wtf is that?
Very funny. I almost wet myself.
- You use the second person in odd contexts (“Get the toast.” “You can’t see any such thing.”)
you feel all lonely because no one else plays them
- When in a terminal, you type “l” instead of “ls” to see what it’s in the current directory, and “x file” instead of “ls -l file” to get information on a file . Then you end up creating “l” and “x” aliases for “ls” and “ls -l”. (Not joking.)
- When you similarly create a “go to” alias for “cd”.
Wouldn’t that be a sign that you’d programmed too much BASIC?
- You have no need for a compass - your inner compass is working just fine.
- The ability to count goes right out of the window.
What happened to… oh i see what you did there.
-
You try to hug someone, but end up kissing them instead.
-
You’re able to carry 50 items of varying size, weight, and fragility without breaking or crushing any of them.
-
When you meet someone you like, you try rubbing them, just to see if they’re a fully implemented NPC.
- You don’t see any distinction between asking someone about something and telling them about it.
Unless you have a pile of 69,105 leaves.
I have one of those in my backyard.
- You think to yourself “There is no reply” when someone is oblivious to/ignoring you. Or to help yourself do the same to someone.
