Input Delay v.24

I decided to make handy dandy GIFs, like I did last year, to make the issue obvious to those with working eyeballs.
NO DELAY:
In WoC free skate, I'm just doing left stick cuts back and forth. It looks normal. It feels normal. I don't even have elite edges on.
DELAY:
I am doing the same left stick cuts in the same session. "Why is your guy stopping and turning the wrong way?" you might ask. Because this is how it manifests.
Sometimes, if I reset play, it will stop. But then just begin again. Usually, the first few minutes of loading the game work before there's some slight hitch in the frame rate. Then it's shot.
Now, this doesn't communicate how heavy (fat man lag) it feels. My right stick barely works. My sprint takes an extra second. It feels like packet loss on perfect hardware/connection. Online? Good lord. Forget about it. With the physics and delay, I might as well be in the Upside Down.
I could write a novel, but I already did last year. I just wanted this incontrovertible video evidence in here.

Input delay causes me to put my controller down and turn off my brand new Playstation 5.
