Anyone else here have any of these habits?
I have all of those habits.
There are some items in games that I've literally never even used throughout the playthrough. In KOTOR 1, for example, I spent the entire game collecting the various stimpack buffs and didn't use a single one until the fight with Malak, out of fear that I'd desperately need them at some point in the game and not have any available.
I do the same thing with "special" weapons in shooters. High damage, low clip size guns with hard to find ammo spend the majority of their existence in my backpack.

All of 'em, pretty much. In Skyrim the game was prone to freezing or glitching out for a lot of the time I played. So every minute I went without saving was another minute I'd have to redo. I remember losing hours at a time many times over.
Reloading constantly makes sense, too. If you have your gun as full as it gets, that's more shots you can get off at the next enemy before you have to reload. Otherwise you run the risk of getting one or two shots off and basically being a sitting duck until your reload is done.
But those aren't even weird. One friend of mine took ages to get through single quests in Skyrim because he felt so compelled to strip and position every female enemy that he killed (unless it was a draugr or something). And I mean position as in, drag them through the dungeon to that bed that was off to the side in the beginning so that you can prop them up face down 'n' ass up or whatever else he wanted to do. I think I sent him on a mission once that I knew was full of females. It was just a single dungeon thing, if I recall, and when he finally finished it he told me it took him three hours.
That's weird.

I played on Hard mostly so I had to use stims for everything more badass than a gizka.
I do everything on that list but the jumping, because it's just ridiculous.

Your friend is a psychopath. haermm
Yeah, I worry about that some times.
But then I realize he's just been a virgin for 23 years, and I figure he's probably okay. At least he will be as soon as he gets some ass. I hope. Hah. I don't need to be that guy on the news in ten years goin' "Well ya know he always seemed pretty normal to me!"

Do not refer to me as such.
