That's a popular legend/creepypasta/conspiracy theory lately I guess! It's interesting enough as it is, but it got me kinda thinking that it would be a kinda fun idea. The original concept has an AI that tweaked the game to adjust to the player, reportedly for dark psychological purposes. Wasn't there a system or game that was actually pitched as doing that, back in the day?

But anyway I think that's actually a cool kinda idea for a game. I guess procedural generation is already a thing, but I'm thinking something more subtle, like an extra enemy here, or a different item there, or a few subtle changes to color palette. I imagine it would be difficult to do that on a per-copy basis, but maybe per save file. Undertale does a few small things like that, right? And there was a recent board game that I think had a different distribution of terrain tiles or something every copy. Any other examples, or ideas?

Also it's fascinating to me that there's still a community for Mario 64, finding new tech and coming up with new urban legends and stuff.

so yeah this is pretty much just a bunch of vaguely connected rambles but maybe some of that is of interest
