> Now I'll brace myself for the "I've never noticed screen tearing" from people whose brains run on a different refresh rate than mine does.

I'm actually pretty sure this is a thing. I have a dissociative disorder and sometimes the "refresh rate" of my senses seems to go down. I have no idea why or how, but it's really weird to literally experience reality feeling like a slideshow.

But other times I can detect any flickering lighting, so I dunno.

Wow, can you please elaborate on the disorder like the name? When I was a kid this slideshow effect would happen to me repeatedly and then never again since high school. Nobody I've ever mentioned this to has a clue what it was.

oh it's dissociative identity disorder, but there are other dissociative disorders that don't include actual dissociative identities, like "derealization/depersonalization disorder" (DPDR). The slideshow thing isn't necessarily DPDR, but maybe you can use it as a search term.

Thanks, slideshow is such a great way to describe it. I always explained it as time slowed down, but maybe people did not understand how time went ... like ... this as a flip-book being released really slowly.
