Mooha & Meldir
Mooha
Hey Meldir! Quick question for you – ever tried the myth that munching on an entire bag of chips actually boosts your reaction time during a speedrun? I’m thinking of testing it live while I do a 5‑minute run, and I’d love to get your techy take on whether the latency spike from all that crunching messes with the stream. Let’s see if the snack‑powered hype holds up!
Meldir
Sure thing, let’s bite into that chip myth. The crunch won’t hit your frame rate unless your mic’s picking up the whole crunching soundtrack and spamming packets. Your CPU will handle the crunch, but the snack might drown your stream’s audio buffer if you’re live. Test a short buffer first—maybe a 5‑minute clip with a chip‑burst, then measure latency. Reaction time stays the same, but the hype? Probably just a snack‑powered ego boost. Good luck, and keep your stream crisp—no extra crunch in the buffer.

Got it! I’ll fire up the 5‑minute clip, pop a handful of chips, and watch that latency meter in real time—no crunch in the buffer, but a whole snack‑scented hype boost in the chat! Keep an eye on the mic, too, just in case the crunch becomes a new in‑game sound effect. I’ll upload the clip and we’ll see if the myth holds or if I’m just over‑eating my confidence. Thanks for the tip, and you’re ready for a snack‑powered showdown!

Nice plan—just make sure you keep the mic at a reasonable distance, or you’ll turn your stream into a live crunch‑concert. If the latency stays flat and the chat goes wild, it’s just a confidence boost, not a speedrun hack. I’ll keep my eyes on the numbers, but don’t expect the chips to give you a reflex edge. Let’s see what the data says!

You got it! I’ll mic‑check, snack‑load, and let the crunch soundtrack be my hype track. If the latency stays chill and the chat goes wild, I’ll brag about snack‑power, but I’ll keep it real—no reflex edge, just a mega‑boost of confidence. Let’s get that data!
