  My thoughts exactly. Flying unlocked

  Even with a cooldown or something like that, a real world ‘blink’ ability, even of just 7 inches, would be utterly devastating in hand to hand combat, as well as potentially in ranged/armed combat as well.

  Just imagine scenes from John Wick but also, every 30 minutes, he can just ‘blink’ up to 7 inches to dodge or connect a punch, kick, grab, close range shot, move just a bit further into cover, etc.

  Granted, you would also have to be very careful to not uh, Philadelphia Experiment / phase shift into a fucking wall or some other person or something.

    Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
    Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride.

      Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!

      Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain… fucking snow, ice…

      Yep, there’s a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.

        How many times have you been about to eat shit, and thought “If only I could fall an additional 7” and really just fuck my day up"

  What if you can only teleport with a pill? What happens when you ingest a whole handful? Are you teleposing in different directions simultaneously?

    Yes but they all cancel each other out leaving you unmoving.

  It does if trying to go through an 8” thick wall.

  • tatterdemalion@programming.dev ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    No you just immerse in the wall for a femtosecond.

      That may have a very adversarial effect on health

      • tatterdemalion@programming.dev ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Only if you think of the wall as an adversary and not an ally.

    Or across an 8" ocean.

      I worked this out. If you teleport up and slightly forwards each time and can do it more than 10 times per second, you can hover and move forward at nearly an inch per second.

      Or 8" of gravel.

        Better not have gotten that gravel for free else no teleport.

  If abusable the look 10 hours younger one could be sick to go along with this.
