Microsoft Wants to Back Up Your Brain

Gizmodo: "Imagine being able to store every second of your life on a computer and then calling up digital snapshots of individual moments with a quick search. If Gordon Bell, the head of Microsoft's Media Presence Research Group has his way, this technology could become a reality. The idea behind MyLifeBits or "surrogate memory" as Bell has dubbed it, is that people should be concerned with living life, not "maintaining our memory systems.""

Remember: Never beta a Microsoft product, unless you want to be constantly slow and crash a lot.

It sounds like sh!t. Who wants to remember every mistake? Could people download your brain and use it as evidence with a court order, like a sopena? I've committed a minor offense 9 years ago and I don't want it on a computer anywhere!

It would be funny if it actually happens. Imagine you back up your whole life on a computer and then like your mom or whatever comes over to your house and watches a video of u jacking off, that would be funny.

But if you think about it, it would be good for crimes or something like that. They could just download the entire life of someone to a hardrive and find out what crimes that person has commited.

I was thinking the same thing, but other than that, I'm down for this.

Everyday as I sit in class listening to my various professors drone on about their respective subject I think "wouldn't it be cool if it was like the matrix where I could just download this course into my head".

I would just go off to school sit in a chair for a minute or two, get up and go "Ohh I know Differential Equations. And how to bake a killer pie!"
Yea that would be wonderful, just wonderful.

One BSOD and your ass is grass!!

Memory dump... did you remember to make a recovery disk? No? Sorry my friend you just voided your brain's warranty. Goodbye.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
