I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time.

Although, it may be a "premium" feature, so it's (still) a bad idea.
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?
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 Your memories have all been replaced by caramelldansen and your visual cortex has been ransomwared.
That is very Eternal Sunshine of you...
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/
Use the implant to watch Eternal Sunshine again and again without spoilers.
Understood, but there are other memories I'd much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.
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.
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.
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"
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
Thank you everyone for buying our chip. We have now changed everyone to ad tier subscription.
Thank you for understanding.
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? 🤔
Who dropped all this monkey paw in the shower?
Why not just buy a new game? There are so many out there.
There's many games out there, but only one Outer Wilds.
Sometimes games cause such a strong emotional reaction for me that I genuinely cannot recreate the same feeling. Same with books and movies. I end up feeling nostalgic for when I first discovered it.
Sure a new game might be really good and immersive in a similar way, but it'll never be the same, y'know?
Huh, and I worry about forgetting the great memories of the games I played. The duality of man
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.
gamer: "worst game ever"
gamer: "i just wanna claw my eyes out"
gamer: "man, that game was so bad, i wish i could forget it."
announcer: Well you can now! For only $99.99* you can forget those games you'd really rather not remember
gamers (in unison, on triple-split screen): worth it!!!
*(per game, plus $15 a month per game--forever)
I'd be down, anything to relive those first play throughs of SEX with HITLER, SEX with HITLER 2, SEX with HITLER: 2069, and SEX with HITLER: WW2.
I loath your mere existence of being aware of such fine works-of-art while everyone fed me with the info of how his experiment of baking cookies(inaudible screams) went bad in a gas chamber!!!
! Btw, is VR available for these ?
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.
Classic blue pill. Hello cypher.
Have you played prey? Removing the chip takes out memories but putting it in gives abilities.
Nobody is installing anything in my brain, no matter the supposed benefits.
Just make sure you get the sound and vision subscriptions or your screwed.
Please upgrade to Monthly Premium for just $19.99 a month to disable the agonizing neurological pain.
Or our deluxe plan to turn off constant ads for just 39.99.. otherwise we'd like to speak to you about your cars extended warranty.
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Haven't read the book it's based on but i really enjoyed the movie
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.
But the company would also erase lots of other stuff from your mind they don’t agree with. Yikes.
