So there is this mental phenomenon where if you play enough Tetris, when not playing Tetris your brain still tries to make everything Tetris.

It's called The Tetris Effect.

Ever since my one - and first - successful resin pour, my brain keeps trying to figure out how to create a negative space mould of a thing, so I can cast it in resin.

It's equal parts cool and annoying

@Faintdreams i've experienced this quite a lot. i'm a skilled tetris versus player and there's been times in my life when i've played enough to have the literal tetris effect, where it's sort of playing in the background of my mind subconsciously. i've also had it for other games, like when i spent a couple weeks addicted to shapez 1. recently i think i had it a little bit for Noita. someone had a post here recently about getting it for reverse engineering / decompilation. it's fascinating.
