And in the realm of things I’d be too terrified to do for myself… I give you do-it-yourself-implants.
Zoe Quinn is an indie developer who makes experimental games like Depression Quest. She’s also very fond of an almost specific kind of body modification — the kind that might turn her into a real-world cyborg. Along with having implanted a magnet in her left ring finger that allows her to feel magnetic fields and wires as well as pick up select metal objects; Kotaku reports that Quinn is now the proud owner of an NTAG216 chip implant (also in her left hand).
And yes… She did it herself…
The chip allows Quinn to do whatever she programs it to, including unlocking her phone and transferring data to it. She even plans to write some apps for it in the future. But! In the meantime, she’s done something else that’s pretty cool. She’s using it to pass around Steam codes for the cyberpunk role-playing game, Deus Ex.
You can see the video she made about the implant above… Just be warned that about 4 minutes in she does show you how she did it. Don’t worry, she’ll warn you before getting into the painful part.
Just a note: My opening sentence isn’t judging Quinn for her self-done modification. It’s me saying I’m too chicken to do anything like that. I’d be horribly afraid I’d botch it.
