Critical Flaw Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 29th, 2024
A savvy spec would notice that the first decimal place, supposed to be tenths of a second, changes way too fast. It's the first thing I noticed. It also really doesn't help when the performers keep referring to tenths and hundredths of a second as milliseconds. I don't know what kind of grade-school dropouts magicians are used to performing for, but I think most reasonably educated people would notice that milliseconds are the one thing this *doesn't* have. Again, it's something I noticed right off the bat, and I'm not exactly a math wiz.

A shame too, because this could easily have been addressed by moving the current decimal digits one place over to the right then adding legit deciseconds, which would actually serve as a further convincer. Yeah yeah, I know, "I've performed this 100 million times over the last 3,000 years and NOBODY has ever noticed," except I'd guess that enough people have indeed noticed but have kept their mouths shut out of politeness. If the creators addressed this one critical though easily-fixed flaw it would be worth twice the asking price, but this is just lazy and like too many effects these days relies on specs not being very bright or perceptive. It's just not 100% well-thought-out. I like to know I'm covered when I perform an effect, and this doesn't offer full coverage.
