I Really Want To Throw Some Ideas On Testing Limits Of Superpowers Scenes. In Range From Scientific Scrutiny

I really want to throw some ideas on testing limits of superpowers scenes. In range from scientific scrutiny with plots and testing, to analogue of daring game of "You know nothing about this, watch me beating you at X" which accelerates at each step

Cyberpunk butches!

YES YES YES YES YES

I can't use mine for most of activities because it's very loud and distracts me, but I take it to shower, so I'm not stuck there for 1.5 hours

I was reminded today that not everyone knows about one of my favorite ADHD/time blindness helpers.

behold! the magic of the egg timer:

pros:

quick and easy to set (no long setup, no typing, just a twist)

mechanical (no batteries required)

remaining time visible

comes in fun shapes and sizes (add your favorite to this post!!)

cons:

can be loud

can't be attached to your wrist

can only be set to up to 59 minutes

pocket dimension's functions

I realised that writing whole mechanics is problematic, so I just write what happens on surface level .

Angeline can:

Pull in and pull out objects in/out of pocket dimension, including people

Teleport

Preserve momentum when moving across pocket dimension

Find shelter for prolonged period of time in pocket dimension

Win time by putting people in pocket dimension, as it slows down physiological processes and it's practically impossible to die inside pocket dimension

Confuse people that are not aware of time perception distortions in pockef dimension (minutes feel like days, days might feel like an hour. Without anchoring to real clock it's impossible to judge time inside pocket dimension)

Her weaknesses regarding pocket dimension:

Spatial blindness. If you're inside pocket dimension you can't tell how exactly it's space corresponds to main world, unless you memorise it or derive that understanding from your own cues

Disorientation. Anything that might cause spatial disorientation will cause troubles with pocket dimension. From alcohol and psychic attacks to those weird vestibular illusions (quite a rabbit hole I should say)

Momentum preservation. Both strength and curse. Pocket dimension has no friction, so preserving momentum might give strategic difficulties

time blindess

No collision protection. No actual experiment on human collision was done, so it's unknown what might happen with person, including Angeline. Objects that are stuck inside other objects due to pocket dimension teleportation tend to be torn in pieces that are flying pff with high speed (think of source engine object collision, but on atomic level)

Angeline can't leave or enter pocket dimension if she's unconscious

Lack of connection. No internet, cellular communications, radio waves or other means of communication can reach pocket dimension or out of it.

Characters that can oppose Angeline (in terms of superpower, not actual combat):

Michael, as someone who knows how pocket dimension works and Angeline's personal limits

Valerie. Attention control allows her to determine where Angeline is about to go within moments. Also attention control might predict possible object that would be brought in this world.

Sonya. Her radar sense and agility go toe-to-toe with Angeline's speedof teleportation, allowing her to catch her before Angeline can strike.

I want to rewatch Груз 200 (Cargo 200) but I think I'm not ready for that emotional toll again.

Also this movies ost is stuck in my head forever

I mean... Antonina!
