Sure, my argument is that not the modality of the sense matters, but the circumstances of that power. The resolution, the filtering and the agency someone has over that experience.

Smell compared to sight would also cause generally less of a brain overload, since smell is low bandwidth compared to sight. So if future sight as a curse might be worse than future smelling.

Doubling the amount of information you sense just in two moments, now and the most likely future in 3 minutes, might be more bearable with smell.

All the same situation would happen with future sight. My point is just that if you assume that future sight has resolved those questions, situation and paradoxes in a beneficial way, because it is a super power, the future smell would be a super power as well, and not a curse…

If future sight has resolved them is a bad way, then it would be a curse, just as any other future sense.

Just imagine always having to see all possible sights three minutes into the future at the same time. There always is a miniscule chance of all air molecules bunching up in the corner of your room or you falling through the floor…

Are you well? Maybe you should sit down, get out of the sun and possible call your local medical emergency number.

That would be the same with future sight… Which people would argue is a super power…

How is smelling smells three minutes into the future a curse?

I mean if it works similar to other time powers like seeing into the future, that future would be preventable.

Smelling the future and acting to it seems like pretty awesome, and three minutes is pretty long… You have enough time to act and escape you death maybe, if you suddenly don’t smell anything anymore… Or you can make sure that you only eat the best food available… Since tasting food is mostly about smells… You could become an awesome cook… you just have to deal with the five tongue senses…

Nice one :D

H2O is a pretty nice chemical, that makes people drinking it less thristy, and is good for plants and animals as well. Just be careful that you don’t have too much of it, and you are good.

I got a notification about a package that changed the maintainer that looks rather suspicious to me… So i would still be careful…

That user doesn’t seem to be blocked… So there might still be more going on.

I like it as well… The mix between all these different game genres is very interesting. Idea is great, execution is lacking a bit, but it is good that they tried… Just sad that it didn’t work out so well… Hope they try again and improve on the concept.

Like they did with EncroChat?

“We finally succeeded in building the ‘Torment Nexus’, inspired by the book ‘Don’t create the Torment Nexus’.”

No shit? Next thing you say that there are no 3d games, because there are no 3d monitors. And those that say they are 3d as well as VR are just faking it, by using two 2d projections instead of one.

Here you go:

Huh?

On Atomic distros you need to reboot everytime you update the system or install anything into an overlay…

On other systems you can mostly just restart services and programs, as long as they aren’t the kernel, and likely pid 1.

(Arguable kexec can be considered a reboot.)

Cachy is Arch, Bazzite is Fedora.

They constantly cry about ThE wOkE aGeNdA when you can select pronouns that LITERALLY have 0 impact on gaming, but apparently including WoKe content in the actual game is ok if you’re on their side.

I don’t like that those ‘woke’ settings don’t have any impact in historic games. Because that ‘woke-washes’ history.

That was one of my gripes with Hogwarts Legacy. The wizarding world in Victorian times where certainly not egalitarian when it came to race or sexual identity. And if they where, it should be explained why they are so different from the muggle world at that time.

False dichotomy.

Centraur is when the neck of an quadruped animal gets its neck replaced by an human upper body… So the giraffe centaur would have neither a long human stomach, nor a long human neck.

It is reductionism to say that something isn’t a giraffe, if it doesn’t have a long neck part. Shame on you! 😉

Is this some kind of modernized take on the ‘Dining philosophers problem’?

Guy doesn’t need friends to get himself into an deadlock.
