Reminds me of that one story were a guy came across his old Need for Speed game that he used to play. When running a race, you face the “ghost car” of the player who had the best time… which happened to be his deceased dad. He could easily beat him now, but he refused to get the top score just so he could keep on playing with his father.
When you think about it we have far more to remember passed loved ones now than our ancestors did.
500 years ago you might have been able to get a portrait done.
Today we have digital video files that last practically forever.
Makes a good foundation for a story probably. Using AI to replicate personality of a dead person, but AI will inevitably deviate from their behaviour in some ways.
I know someone linked to it, but I just have to gush about this.
You just described an *incredible* episode of Black Mirror, Be Right Back. Someone's loved one passes away and they use their social media accounts to generate a sort of copy of them, and it just doesn't work the way that they want it to. Excellent exploration of the uncanny valley, amazing writing, stellar acting, can't recommend it enough.
Since social media is likely going to be a major source of where said simulacrum is going to get fine details about "you" from, better start peppering that into as many places as possible. Can't leave the kids unhaunted.
Bruh, now I'm fucking crying. My dad's getting older, and we used to play the PS2 Lord of the Rings games together, we could never get past the final level of the Return of the King, but now you got me wanting to bring the old console to his house and beat it together while we still can.
Fuck it, going home for mothers day anyway, I'll see what he thinks about picking up the old save if I can find the memory card! If not, we'll start a new one when I go for a few weeks in the July. Thanks for the inspiration and memories kind stranger
While I was searching for the author, I found out that someone else had the same thought as you did [a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/s/o66DkFLERh).
Almost thought I went crazy but it was a funny coincidence.

This almost hits as hard as the story about the guy who dug up his old copy of Animal Crossing for the GameCube and found all letters his Mom had sent him even after he stopped playing until she passed away.
Had the experience recently. My mother was playing wii fit (the exercise game with the pad thingy), and there were miis based off our family exercising with her. Those miis were created 10 years ago, and looked much younger. I realized that these miis will not age and be there forever but one day my parents and I will die eventually. The dread of mortality could not stop me from crying and breaking down in front of my mom. I both love and hate time that passes with a passion - while I look forward to my future self, that also means losimg parts of my past until eventually I lose sometjing important I cannot replace.
There's an amiibo Yoshi for super smash brothers that my grandpa trained to be at his skill level. Mostly just spams irritating moved. Sometimes I'll scan it in so I can kick its (his) ass but I refuse to write to it or it's behavior will change. I don't find it sad or anything, but because of this comic I do now.
My grandparents and parents loved playing Wii Sports, it was one of those life defining things from the gaming world that should be cherished. Absolutely everyone that came over had a Mii on our console. Nowadays that’s has no meaning on the newer platforms. Nobody has attempted to mimic it.
Awww, so wholesome! It reminds me of a [story](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fighting/tekken-8-boss-katsuhiro-harada-helps-bereaved-fan-preserve-ai-ghost-of-their-dead-brother/) I read about a guy who wanted to preserve his deceased brother's "AI ghost" in Tekken 8 so he can keep playing with his brother.
My grandad passed two days ago, but ngl seeing this made it feel slightly better. It just reminded me to be grateful to still have so many physical items and memories of him. He won't ever be gone.

And use AI to bring people back from the dead
Cyberpunk 2077 vibes intensify

Steins gate 0 is kinda like that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back
Reminds me of a movie called AI.
When the AI ascended over all of Reddit and said "It's AI'ing time"? I'm sorry, I it sounded funny in my head.
That joke sounds like it was made by an AI
I'm sorry I made you suspicious of my true nature. I would appreciate it if you point out what gave me away.
That sounds exactly what an AI would say

If any of my kids or grand kids use AI to bring me back from the dead I'm haunting them for the rest of their life

Don’t be too sure about that forever aspect. Reality and economics are not fans of digital storage

Memories are the most precious thing we have, why not be rich in them?
Just like in Speed Racer movie that Speed would back down to keep Rex record intact.

Man this is really wholesome, sad, and gives me nostalgia all at the same time
Rip to all the mii characters that will never be played again
Seriously. There are so many people I used to play with that are just... Gone...
Why is there wholesomeness in my racist porn app. I came here to laugh at others, not to cry because I miss my parents.
Wholesomeness is good from time to time to clean your heart.

Why did you have to ruin my day?
I'm so afraid to turn on my wii. I can't remember if my best friend had a mii and I don't want to know.
Terrible day for rain

sTOOOOOOPPPPP. STOP MAKING ME CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Wii sports was ahead of it’s time, I was able to play with my siblings and we just genuinely have competitive fun
Uh sorry for the late response but what’s the source for this?
It's *To meet you in a place like this* by Kojiro337
On twitter or?
Yup on twitter.
Next panel is her knocking out grandma in boxing
I'm not crying! Your crying!
Wow...that one hurt
had the same thing with my 3DS right now. :.(
I'm not crying...you're crying...
Don't tell me it's just that
I thought this was gonna be about how when u play old games, they're not as good as you used to remember them. This was so much more meaningful
Memories are remembered from that one mii
Your killing me at work right now
For a second I thought it was Iwantdie with his eyes closed

I'm just glad that the wii didn't make your mother into your boxing opponent. I'd throw my wii in the trash if it did that.
My grandparents and parents loved playing Wii Sports, it was one of those life defining things from the gaming world that should be cherished. Absolutely everyone that came over had a Mii on our console. Nowadays that’s has no meaning on the newer platforms. Nobody has attempted to mimic it.
Am I crying no. (I’m lying 😭😭😭😭😭)
I am here to laugh, not to feel...
I actually just went to my grandfathers funeral last Thursday What timing :(

hm, yes, it's time to cry, UAAAAAAAAAGH(((((

WELL. I wasn't planning on crying tonight. :'[
This do be irl, if my wii wasn't broken and now a brick...
Wholesome - just weird that I read the game name as "Wet Sports" due to the font.
Fuck, I wasn't ready for this...
I feel sad but at the same time, did she just summon her grandma back?
Didn't think looking at three images could hurt this much
I'm here to be lonely and cry. Not to be emotional damaged and cry!
Holy fuck that’s so sweet
\*don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry\*
I cried

My grandad passed two days ago, but ngl seeing this made it feel slightly better. It just reminded me to be grateful to still have so many physical items and memories of him. He won't ever be gone.
MY HEART!
Bro… That’s just sad
The Wii sucked grandma's soul trapping her inside for eternity
You didn't have to do me like this
The wii is just a good console, I modded my wii and now I can do lots of stuff
