Sure, here’s a rewritten version:

So, you know that Gabe Newell guy from Valve? Yeah, the same one immersed in video game wizardry. Turns out, he’s got this whole neural chip thing happening. If “Starfish Neuroscience” sounds like a band name, well, it’s actually his new frontier. They’re cooking up a brain-chip that might be more “sci-fi next door” than you think.
Apparently, this whole deal was shared in a blog post—those things people sometimes read. They’re partnering with some big-brained folks at imec. The chip? It’s supposed to be wireless and battery-free. Honestly, that sounds like witchcraft. But the idea is to plop this thing into your brain and have it read and even poke around in your neurons. Kinda spooky, right?
There’s this pic with Mike Armbinder and Gabe looking all serious. It’s funny how brainy they seem. Valve’s folks seem obsessed with tinkering with our gray matter. Might be a gamer thing.
Now, if you’re thinking of Elon Musk and his Neuralink circus, Starfish wants to do things slightly… less invasively? While Musk is like “let’s poke here,” these guys aim to do it all dainty and miniaturized.
Oh, and this chip? It’s like the size of a Tic Tac. 2x4mm? My brain is bigger than that, thank you very much. And brace yourself—tech specs incoming. It’s got low power vibes at 1.1 mW, and about as much voltage action as your average haunted microwave. They call for tech friends into wireless power. You know who you are.
Gabe dropped a casual bomb back in 2023, hinting we’re edging closer to a Matrix-style reality. As if the world wasn’t wild enough.
And before you say, “But what about games?” Mike Ambinder, before he split from Valve, hinted at brain-computer interfaces shaking up gaming. Imagine measuring player reactions mid-game. Creepy or cool? Maybe both.
Shoutout to Brad ‘SadlyItsBradley’ Lynch for catching wind of all this.
It’s a brave new world, or a bizarre one. Take your pick.
