Can you imagine lag in real life? The only experience I ever had like
that was the result of inhailing the vapors of a certain herb. My
brain reset every thirty seconds for about two hours. Like lag in the
game, it was something one could work around. Unlike in the game, I
found it rather pleasant.

I had an amnesiac during a surgery. That is not the same thing. I
really don't remember much at all. Nothing of the surgery itself.

Wouldn't it suck if people driving old cars suffered from lag? New
cars would flash by in lurching images as we who had old cars would
try to figure out where the danger might be. The road would be like
POP with an old machine. Almost impossible to navigate.
