Although, it may be a “premium” feature, so it’s (still) a bad idea.
I can see this going absolutely side ways when your mind tries to cope with where 1000+ hours of your life went. Also you’d probably get 1000+ hours of ads beamed into your brain to make up for that gap of time, unless you pay for the “Memory+” or “Memory Max” tier, with just slightly less ads. Would be cool to experience a game for the first time again, but I would just read a book or share gaming “war stories” with my imaginary buddies.
Reminder that chips heat up
But the company would also erase lots of other stuff from your mind they don’t agree with. Yikes.
Other harmful side-effects aside, how much a game impacted you is significantly affected by the context of your life. Experiencing the same game at a different time in your life might not be as meaningful.
You’re absolutely right about that.
If this ever happens, your brain will constantly be raped by Trump, Musk, Zuck, Altman, and all the North Korean hackers. Enjoy.
But what if I install Linux on the chip? 🤔
Have you played prey? Removing the chip takes out memories but putting it in gives abilities.
Just give it time. After long enough, each game becomes new again!
This is the only right answer.
What could go wrong? Well just watch Black mirror
You could be more efficient and implement the memory of having watched it.
“I know Kung-fu”
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.
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.
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?
You don’t want your cherished memories (and darkest secrets) being automatically uploaded to facebook? What’s wrong with you?
Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you’ve played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.
“Don’t worry about the sun, it’s meant to be there.”
You dont need a chip for that
This isn’t monkeypaw
Nice try Spez-boy.
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 Your memories have all been replaced by caramelldansen and your visual cortex has been ransomwared.
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.
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/
Understood, but there are other memories I’d much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.
