Although, it may be a “premium” feature, so it’s (still) a bad idea.
Understood, but there are other memories I’d much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.
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.
Reminder that chips heat up
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?

Who dropped all this monkey paw in the shower?
Removed by mod
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.”
This isn’t monkeypaw
Nice try Spez-boy.
You dont need a chip for that
Why not just buy a new game? There are so many out there.
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?
I’m broke
But you have money for this chip?
Nah, maybe I’ll present myself as a test subject so that it’s ME who gets paid for fucking my brain.
You probably already did this and they took all your money and then wiped your memory of doing it and of having money and that’s why you’re broke in the first place
Maybe, or maybe I’m just a latin american living the latin american ✨experience✨
There’s many games out there, but only one Outer Wilds.
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Haven’t read the book it’s based on but i really enjoyed the movie
That is very Eternal Sunshine of you…

Use the implant to watch Eternal Sunshine again and again without spoilers.
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.
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.
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.
