That doesn't matter. I'v gone into notepad, and looked at my dismemberments. I looked at it, said 4. I went farther down, it still had those same 4. If I went up, I'd have 2 of them, and a farther down, would have another 2.
If I went and watched it, and paused than shift space, I'd get 4 dismemberments all at once. You can only tell in-game notepad isn't good for everything
