Although, it may be a “premium” feature, so it’s (still) a bad idea.
Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you’ve played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.
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.

You dont need a chip for that

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 Your memories have all been replaced by caramelldansen and your visual cortex has been ransomwared.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: forbes.com/…/man-sues-bethesda-because-fallout-4-…

Use the implant to watch Eternal Sunshine again and again without spoilers.
Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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 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.

Just give it time. After long enough, each game becomes new again!

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

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? 🤔

Thank you everyone for buying our chip. We have now changed everyone to ad tier subscription.
Thank you for understanding.

Huh, and I worry about forgetting the great memories of the games I played. The duality of man

Why not just buy a new game? There are so many out there.
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week ago
There’s many games out there, but only one Outer Wilds.
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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?
nthavoc@lemmy.today 1 week ago
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.
renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 1 week ago
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.
NONE_dc@lemmy.world 1 week ago
You’re absolutely right about that.

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!!!

gamer: “worst game ever”
gamer: “i just wanna claw my eyes out”

announcer: Well you can now! For only $99.99* you can forget those games you’d really rather not remember

Have you played prey? Removing the chip takes out memories but putting it in gives abilities.
DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 week ago
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.

But the company would also erase lots of other stuff from your mind they don’t agree with. Yikes.

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?
