Is it ethical to turn rats into gamers?

It was tested on humans first

I think it might be _unethical_ to not spread the joy of playing Doom for the first time? Though, I’m not entirely sure there’s been enough research done about the effects of violent video games in rat gamer populations.

We've been putting rats in skinner boxes for a lot longer than we've been subjecting human gamers to them. I'd be more worried about the health effects of all that sugar water.

10 microliter doses though. Pretty teeny tiny. But it is a valid concern.

It's more like locking humans up in the matrix. Note lines like "preventing it from leaving the apparatus" in the build guide. Would an ordinary gamer be restricted from exiting such a contraption?

I mean-- how do you think they made gaming mice? :)

Gamers: no, hot-tub streamers: yes
