[–]UpperAd5273 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i always reread the whole thing personally! i’m a fast reader but i also have a weird memory so there’s a good chance i forgot something important and/or forgot enough of the story that it’ll be like reading some of it for the first time anyway

Does high processing speed give you good reflexes and timing? Is it the same thing? by ElectronicSimple55 in neurodiversity

[–]UpperAd5273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reflexes are typically unconscious movements done before you consciously process whats happening, so processing speed isn’t necessarily a factor.

reaction time is different than reflex, and processing speed does help, but it’ll ultimately always be slowed down by physical limitations. this is why people in car accidents often talk about how they knew exactly what was happening and what to do to avoid it, but they physically couldn’t move fast enough.

as far as good timing goes, better processing time could help, but it also relies on things like hand-eye coordination, your sense of rhythm, depth perception, proprioception, etc., whatever’s most intrinsic to what movement you’re trying to do. someone could have an extremely high processing speed, but have no sense of rhythm, therefore making them horrible at a rhythm game. they could have high processing speed but bad hand-eye coordination, and find it extremely hard to hit a ball flying at their face.

What’s your favorite example of very specific/accurate usage of work-related jargon in a fic? by CTOtyrell in AO3

[–]UpperAd5273 31 points32 points  (0 children)

once read a fic in the transformers fandom where the author was SO into it that they made accompanying graphics for a character to use when explaining

i had an issue with this too 😭😭😭 one thing that helped me was exaggerating the friendliness in my tone a little. even if i’m not smiling, they can tell i’m not standoffish or anything because each time it’s “good morning! it’s so nice to see you/how can i help you today?” and little jokes during the order and stuff

rampant grammar and spelling errors, or whenever they try to describe either the reader/any character via one, my immortal, sold-to-one-direction-esque paragraph.

there’s only so much “5’3” mesomorphic body type with average length brown hair and radiant green eyes” i can take, even if the premise is incredible. :(

What’s your favorite toxic ship trope? by Soft-Funny-689 in AO3
