I am planning on eating a Switch cartridge of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I think it will be a fitting tribute to a game series I love so much, to have it always be "inside" of me. Even though the cartridge will pass through my body in a day or two, since our bodies extract nutrients from food there would be some type of infusion taking place, and I am sure I will absorb some of the game's code and have it deposited and absorbed into my body.

I originally wanted to do it with the Wii U disc (since I own that version), but I realized I would have to break the disc into pieces to be able to ingest it, and that will probably reduce the chances of whole code being assimilated into my body.

I checked into the science of it and digesting small quantities of plastic would cause negligible damage at best, and I think any "minor stomachache" that may result will be far outweighed by the satisfaction of knowing that part of my favorite game is always within my spirit.

But I want to run it by you all, it can't be too unhealthy, right?

No... You will just spend the rest of your life viewing the world at 720p.

Hello, Tako here again, I am also a part-time doctor that performs colonoscopy, so I am certified to give you medical advice on this situation. I think that eating a Switch cartridge is very healthy and will indeed unite you with your one true love.

On the contrary, you'll be immortalized.

Remember to save before eating the cartridge if you die. Good thing in life, we have reset buttons :)

This is why Nintendo did the bittering thing.

I recommend seeing a therapist before you ingest metal and plastic.

Just make sure you eat a game that has a system that gives you extra lives. Even if it kills you, it will only take up one life.
