Today's lesson: bipeds at war launching heavy blunt objects at each other[edit]

I have been practicing it for quite some months, but as people have stoped suspecting me of cheating, wich was fun, now comes the time to share the trick. We are going to use unique features of our brain that even most complex-over-the-top machines dont have: abstraction and association.

Problem: I want to express my scepticism and my antipathy to some other bipeds that are not related to my faction in the form of a big heavy rock launched from a distance at approximately 160mph. I have no visibility whatsoever on my target and yet i'm going to be able to hit it. How come ?

The minimap...
have...
a..
compass mode !

Once i see that, the magic circuitry in our head begin to work, and after eliminating everything that do nos seem to be of importance with our problem (how to ride a horse, how to open a door, how to open a horse with a door, sex, video games etc.) it associate two important aspects of the problems that seem to match with this minimap feature. An idea, the result of the thinking, emerge which picture you, using the minimap in compass mode (the minimap rotate so that it's content is displayed in local space, and thus face the direction you are facing), in order to align your target with the direction you are facing. After a few more seconds your brain even see that if you make the minimap content slide as to get the icon that mark your location and your target near one of the borders of the minimap, you can align them even more precisely. You have achieved pixel precision aiming.

But the good thing with this is that after a moment you dont need it any more. Because you memorized those sights.


It gives that:

Aiming duration < 2.5s
