Although, it may be a “premium” feature, so it’s (still) a bad idea.
Just give it time. After long enough, each game becomes new again!
um no. im not sure chip in head will be a thing I would be willing to do where it gets to in my lifetime but if there was a replace game memories with like skill training maybe.
A futuristic brain implant sounds cool until you think about all the downsides
A futuristic brain implant won’t allow you to think of the downsides, so don’t worry about that.
What could go wrong? Well just watch Black mirror
That’s gonna be my version of old people saying “I don’t do computers” now. There’s no goddamn way I’m putting a chip in my brain.
You don’t want your cherished memories (and darkest secrets) being automatically uploaded to facebook? What’s wrong with you?
It’s wild that 15 years ago I’d sign up in a heartbeat, the entire world order would have to change dramatically for me to go for it today
I would only if it wass FOSS and self hosted. NO FUCKING WAY IM INSTALLING A MICROAOFT CHIP IN MY HEAD.
What about a Muskachip?
I too will let a company put hardware running rented software into my brain. They say you can’t take away my pride, but pride is a emotion on sale for 19.99.
Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you’ve played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.
You dont need a chip for that
“Don’t worry about the sun, it’s meant to be there.”
This isn’t monkeypaw
Wish granted. It’s a neuralink and has like 30 back doors. Your memories have all been replaced by caramelldansen and your visual cortex has been ransomwared.
I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I’d played before with a twist.
Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing
Understood, but there are other memories I’d much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.
That is very Eternal Sunshine of you…
Use the implant to watch Eternal Sunshine again and again without spoilers.
That movie would have been a lot less interesting, I feel.
Haha, probably. Unless you are this guy: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/12/27/man-sues-bethesda-because-fallout-4-is-too-addictive/
If such a technology existed, the government and shady companies would do all sorts of awful things with it.
- FBI makes political opponent sign a contract to never ever eat cereals anymore.
- FBI uses chip to erase political opponent’s memory of signing the contract.
- Next morning, political opponent chomp chomps.
- Afternoon, straight to jail!
Terrifying.
Or let’s say there’s a political/economic disaster caused by the greed and stupidity of…
What disaster? Things have always been like this and our king is a great man. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, or you’ll find yourself in the gulag in no time.
Not just terrifying. This is straight up nightmare fuel.
Who dropped all this monkey paw in the shower?
Thank you everyone for buying our chip. We have now changed everyone to ad tier subscription.
Thank you for understanding.
