Add another one to the "losing an eye" bandwagon.
But I'm with Dgc1808, and I'd trade my taste before anything else.

Smell Id loose before taste (even if taste also dependent on smell).

I enjoy food to much to never again have to experiance taste.

Smell is one of those things that I "think" I could live a normalish life without.



Loss of hearing means you can't hear, at all. You'd have to learn to sign, read lips or communicate via writing. Any games with sound dependent gameplay is a no go for you.

Sight in one eye means you can't drive, have decent depth perception... that's about it. ... oh and use VR... oh noes.



Hmm, pie.

I don't wanna learn sign language and not being able to have a phone call ever again. Sight loss please



This isn't even difficult. Half blind or fully deaf?

Not even half blind because theirs overlap so really you still have 70% of your vision.

This really isn't that hard of a choice.

I know, I tried telling my friends the same.  I'm just polling my forums so I can prove them wrong

Eh, do you really wanna be 'that guy'? Like, you took the argument so seriously, you polled people on the internet to make a point?

Lived my whole life with sight in just one eye, honestly it's grand, your brain adjusts and you learn to compensate for certain things, like... when someone lobs you a ball you learn how to perfectly... duck out of the way, rather than try and fail to catch it :D

Also video games are great with just 1 eye because everything is on a flat panel with just an illusion of depth :) my world is the same as what you see on your monitor basically.

That said.... I am very very careful obviously to mind my remaining eye... the thought of it being damaged in a accident of any kind is a huge worry to me.

 

 

@OP should I technically vote for losing hearing? because if I lost sight in one eye... I would be fresh out of eyes.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I agree that eating without taste would be extremely boring, and that losing the smell would avoid you to notice certain smells (entering a bathromm after it's being used... >.<), but to me smell is important as I have a gas kitchen and that's the only sense that could tell me if there's something wrong.

This is a bit obviously lol.
Losing sight in one eye would hardly affect you, it would just ruin you're sight at judging depth you can go on living a perfectly normal life.
