Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand the rules of the game, its rather simple. My question is how do people manage to play out 3 rounds in less than 5 seconds?
For me, it’s a multi-step mental challenge that would take me like 15 to 20 seconds slowed down to complete.
-
- Pick a word, Rock, Paper, Scissors
-
- Remember how to shape my hand
-
- Punch Rock into my palm a couple times anyways, as apparently Rock is the default before the actual sign is thrown
-
- Remind myself how to arrange my own hand sign when the round is up
-
- Observe the opponent’s sign, which is only presented for about a half of a second
- ?. Oh fuck, I didn’t have enough time to register the opponent’s hand sign
-
- Feel like a fucking idiot and walk away
Seriously, how is this game played so quickly? Is it more suitable for people that know sign language or something?
It probably is categorized as some sort of disability, one which I’m sure the great USA wouldn’t even recognize.
My vision without glasses is extremely nearsighted, like 20/500 nearsighted. And I didn’t get glasses until age 8, which means I didn’t adapt very well to recognizing detailed anatomy such as facial expressions or hand shapes quickly.
Its not that I can’t, I’m just too slow at recognizing such features in motion to be of any everyday expected practical use.
