    That light / button experience has actually happened to me in real life. I was playing my midi keyboard into my computer for days with a high buffer size, so there was a small delay between me pressing the keys and sound coming out of my computer. I got so used to it that when I lowered my buffer size and the delay got shorter, it literally felt like the sound was coming out before I even touched the keys. Insanely trippy feeling

    “The taller you are the further back in the past you live” So I’m in the future
  • @ImBoredToo
    I bet this is what causes those moments in video games where you swear you pressed the button in time but the game didn't register it. You actually press it too late because we lag IRL
  • @sofripp7947
    Fuck sake. We have lag in the real world now?
  • @1EAS1World
    It's amazing that his videos are still great even 11 years in the future.
  • @VTheSlumpGod
    Recommended 11 years later is crazy. And it still holds up. These videos really are timeless
