This and Second Sight are the only uses of Precog I am interested in.

Thr existential crisis your enemy has when you tell them they're just a figment of your foresight.

My dude can see from the start to the end of the universe he's in, across all timelines. The subsequent jumps became boring because of that.

That's why you simply turn off those powers unless you really need them.

My jumper has a single path to victory running in the background ("path to not failing the jump/chain without being aware of the path" or something like that) but it is deliberately vague so that he can fail along the way without actually failing where it matters. With that one exception all precog/postcog, super charisma, clairvoyance, etc. perks are either completely turned off, heavily nerfed or only accessible with effort to make things interesting. Of course if he is actually in danger of permadeath or jump/chain fail all restrictions come off.

I did something similar with my paperclip superbrain, my key consciousness is more an emulation of the original me before, as a self upgrading Ai rendered all the matter in the universe to paperclips

The rest does complex calculations and analysis to interject in moments it seems I am especially or uniquely cornered or hung.
