Stolen from myself 6 months ago at https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.zip/post/35616522
I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.
He’s cool. I’d rather install him in a refrigerator or some shit. He can follow me around and serve me beer.
If V didn’t have the chip in their head they’d be dead already
That’s what they want you to think …
Big fridge following me around sounds scary.
They’ll eventually stumble and flatten me.
Or are there fridges on wheels in that game? I haven’t played it.
Well, no. But everything in the game is running a quantum processor. The taxis are some rogue AI … that owes you favors? Weird. But any random trashcan has enough juice to run this stupid chip instead of sticking it in your head. What a terrible idea.
Um … there’s two other random objects with AI. One is a gun that won’t shut up, reminds me of Clippy from M$ Office. The other is a vending machine. There may be more, I haven’t finished the game, due to my issue with not sticking known bad hardware into my cranium. But either of those could run Johnny.
I don’t think they could. The chip isn’t a normal program that any old computer can run.
Biochip Spoiler?
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. Unsuspend your disbelief for a moment. Think about it. … and 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 a “normal” 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 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.”
