Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

Biochip
The chip needs a brain onto which it can imprint its stored engrams. Its not a normal chip and it’s specifically made to interact with a human brain in experimental ways. At best it would just do nothing if plugged into a fridge, like installing drivers for hardware you don’t have.

There is literally an AI vending machine. How is that different from a fridge? And that being the case, how can you say it can’t run this chip? Ya just can’t. Because there’s a huge plot hole there … Think of the fun if we installed Johnny in that stupid talking gun.

The chip specifically interacts with human brains on a biological level. It’s not an AI.

Hehe. Friend, you seem to know a lot about this imaginary tech. But you don’t. My rules are just as good as yours. If I say it Johnny can run on a trashcan, its just as true as your theory. And more fun.

I mean, sure, if the writers wanted to put the chip in something else they could write different lore about what it does, granted. In the same spirit of “How do you kill a vampire? However you want.”
