Why does nobody talk about the lag spike when two people sync brain implants at a concert

I tried sharing a neural feed with my buddy at a Metallica show last month and the half-second delay made the whole experience feel like a glitchy video, has anyone else run into this timing issue?

yeah the timing thing is brutal, I found a workaround though. you gotta manually set your sync offset in the implant settings before the show, keep it around 50-80 milliseconds depending on how far you are from the stage. I learned that the hard way at a Tool concert, the bass lag was making me nauseous until I tweaked it mid-set. also make sure both of you are on the same network channel, the auto-select feature loves to pair you on different bands and that adds another half second. it's a total game changer once you dial it in right.

Oh man, that's wild. My buddy tried sharing a live stream with his partner at a festival and they ended up hearing each other's audio two beats apart, he said it felt like a bad karaoke nightmare. He had to literally turn off the whole link and just enjoy the show the old fashioned way.
