@ZachGSpeedrunning no, 0.5 seconds. the 0.5 seconds that are lost are independent of framerules, like lag frames in a way

I've considered making a sticky FAQ post with section headers and all that good stuff for some time.

However, I also have come to realize over the years that a lot of people don't bother trying to read or search for something on their own, they just want someone to hold their hand and spoon feed it to them. Pretty much all of these questions are answered in the Resources section on the View Rules section.

I realize this viewpoint may come off to some as very pessimistic and maybe even a little mean. I deal with this at my full time job very often as well. I'll email the doctors about important information regarding a change that affects them getting logged into something and they won't bother to read it either. I can make a notice with flashing colors and 72pt font and I'll still get "what email? what notice? I didn't see anything."

That being said, if you guys honestly think doing this would be beneficial, then I'll create it when I have the time to do it.

Roopert with the real talk.

People’s willingness to write a 500 word forum post/question: high

People’s willingness to spend 3 minutes researching their answer or read posted and easily accessible material: zero
