  The fact that the one dude picked out from the crowd said &quot;1 is up&quot; is vile

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlGQrtoJ5vQ&amp;t=120">2:00</a> Another small topic that gets repeated from time to time is what is reactable. It always goes like &quot;human reaction time is 250ms, so this 15-frame move can be easily blocked&quot;, then somebody points out hardware input lag, then the difference between visual/audio cue reaction time, then the animation startup clarity, then the concept of mental stack, and I&apos;m like haven&apos;t we figured this out already?

  This whole discourse kind of reminds me of when I started getting into the NFL back during covid.<br><br>There are terms and phrases that the viewer is expected to understand to engage with the sport on even the broadest level, terms and phrases that have had their meanings understood for decades (touchdown, first-third downs etc). I as a new viewer couldn&apos;t have had the expectation that even these basic terms should be changed to cater to my frame of reference (football) just because I&apos;m new to the sport.<br><br>I&apos;m more of a TK player so the numpad input convo doesn&apos;t really apply but people act as though they&apos;re being demanded to learn the playbook of West Coast offence or Cover 3 defensive coverages just to watch the game (as a equivalent).<br><br>Obviously the more you engage with the sport (or game in this scenario) the better your experience but, why is it that FG&apos;s are always expected to make sweeping changes (with even how tech is shared) to cater to people who claim to want to learn the game they&apos;re playing but expect to be taught in the way they like?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlGQrtoJ5vQ&amp;t=1176">19:36</a> this is just insane to me. if someone is tapped in enough to be looking at FGC discourse on social media, or posting on a forum, in the time they spent doing that they could just learn the notation themselves. i just cannot empathize

  Brian being like &quot;thats how language evolves&quot; to explain why numpad people should stop doing that, and then somehow to argue the same point says &quot;this isnt how arcade players in the 90s in baltimore used to talk&quot;

  I think an important context missed in all this is NL just likes to put his chat in their place lol<br><br>Also I find it funny in my notes to myself nobody else reads, I predominately play street fighter, I keep such a mess of different shorthands. I&apos;ll use &quot;st. HP, qcb MK, 22HP and 4HK&quot; in the same notepad for just which comes to mind first
