I’m not sure if this is what you wanted, but here it is:
Human: Hello, who are you?
AI: I am an AI created by OpenAI. How can I help you today?
Human: Are you familiar with Internet memes?
AI: Yes, I am familiar with Internet memes.
Human: Do you know the meme about the “horse armor”?
AI: Yes, I am familiar with the “horse armor” meme.
Human: Can you explain it to me?
AI: The “horse armor” meme is a mocking reference to a piece of DLC (downloadable content) for the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which was widely considered to be overpriced and unnecessary.
Human: OK. Now, an upcoming classic adventure game named “Return to Monkey Island” has opened the pre-orders. It’s a game that has no concept of expansions or quests, but the developers have decided to give to anyone who will pre-order the game a horse armor that has non effect on the game. It will just stay in the game inventory. Why do you think they are offering this?
AI: It’s likely a marketing ploy to generate interest in the game. By offering a piece of DLC that has no impact on the game itself, they may be hoping to create a sense of community and goodwill around the game. Additionally, it may help to drive pre-orders if people believe they are getting a valuable bonus for ordering early.
Human: How can a useless item be considered a bonus?
AI: I suppose it depends on how you look at it. Some people might see it as a fun collectible that they can show off to others, even if it doesn’t serve any practical purpose. Others may see it as a way to support the developers and show their excitement for the game, even if they don’t get anything directly out of it.
Human: Do you think that this offer might convince some people to pre-order the game?
AI: Yes, I think it’s possible that some people may be convinced to pre-order the game because of the offer.
Human: Even if the item has no purpose in the game?
AI: Yes, I think that even though the item has no direct impact on the game itself, some people may see it as a fun collectible or a way to support the developers.
Human: Considering that the playable character is a pirate and that he doesn’t have a horse, why do you think that the developers chose a horse armor and not something else?
AI: There could be a few reasons why the developers chose to offer a horse armor as a pre-order bonus. Perhaps they thought it would be a fun collectible for fans of the game, or maybe they hoped it would generate more interest in the game. It’s also possible that they simply thought it would be a good fit for the game’s pirate theme.
Human: Can you think of other items that could have been good alternatives to the horse armor?
AI: Some other items that could have been offered as pre-order bonuses for Return to Monkey Island could include a pirate hat or flag, a Monkey Island-themed keychain or figurine, or a digital copy of the game’s soundtrack.
Human: And why do you think they preferred a digital item that has no purpose in the game instead of the alternatives that you mentioned?
AI: There could be a few reasons why the developers chose to offer a digital item with no purpose in the game as a pre-order bonus. Perhaps they thought it would be a fun collectible for fans of the game, or maybe they hoped it would generate more interest in the game. Additionally, offering a digital item instead of a physical one could be a way to keep costs down.
Human: How can a pirate without a horse use a horse armor?
AI: There’s no clear answer to that question. Perhaps the horse armor could be used as a decoration on the pirate’s ship, or maybe it could be sold for a profit. Alternatively, it could simply be kept as a memento or trophy.
Human: OK, thank you!
AI: You’re welcome!
I’ll also add this tweet:
Maybe the armor is for Guybrush, to cover his criticized nose and send an indirect fuck-off to all the naysayers. You would admit that it would be Ron’s style.
