das mich so hinkriegt

is that it's a way of saying, that it "repairs" me, or that it makes me whole again, fulfils me. Not usually used in the context but that sounds like the jist of it.

Ich denke, bei dieser Art Text, gehört die Ungenauigkeit dazu. Der Leser brauch hier nicht viel zu verstehen, er soll durch die schönen Wörter und Redensarten betört werden. Natürlich macht so ein Text dem Übersetzer(der Übersetzerin) besonders viel zu schaffen, denn diese
Ungenauigkeit muss ja irgendwie wiedergegeben werden. Die Droge scheint hier die Sprache selber zu sein.

Andrea Muller hat es oben sehr schön beschrieben: „that the implanted hard disk/chip has managed to switch on some permanent 'I am in love mode' in that person, making them feel permanently in love. Das trifft es meines Erachtens sehr gut. Es soll ja nur ein rein hypothetisches Fantasiebeispiel für etwas „ganz Neues, was Irres“ sein.<br><br>Bei einem solchen „dahingelaberten“ Text mit vielen Einschüben und Nachsätzen wäre die beste Übersetzungsstrategie vermutlich, vor dem Übersetzen den Ausgangstext (zumindest in Gedanken) umzuformulieren. Dann käme ich auf etwa Folgendes:<br>„Die einen sagen: Wir wollen jetzt mal was ganz Neues, was Irres machen: Festplatten anschrauben, die mich so hinkriegen [die mich so einstellen/manipulieren], dass ich immer verliebt bin.“.

oder eher ums Befinden? Gets me fixed, gets me fixed right up?

As much as its possible to know whats meant I feel none of the answers quite get it, something much more vague and colloquial would be safer! Something with "gets" but am not too sure yet...just... that really gets me, or that gets me like that - badly and awkwardly phrased like the original.

"Hinkriegen" would be something like getting it/me "right". "So hinkriegt" might mean something like "just so", "just the way I want to be" or "should be".

that draws me in wäre auch eine Möglichkeit. Glad I dont have to translate this ;-)

Given the context is discussing how an attitude or feeling about something can more or less overtake someone - in the sense of control of actively submitting, I would go with the first suggestion -- "that has such control over me" but perhaps using words that are just a little less strong. Perhaps, "that grips me" or "that encompasses me"

I understand 'hinkriegen' as something much more neutral than in answers suggested below.
Etwas hinkriegen normally means to manage to do something. You would say 'die werden mich schon wieder hinkriegen' if you are sick in hospital and expect that the doctors will cure you.
I think here it just means something like 'so it would set me up that way', and that the implanted hard disk/chip has managed to switch on some permanent 'I am in love mode' in that person, making them feel permanently in love as explained by Thomas.

'Verliebt sein' bezieht sich nicht auf das 'Neue und Irre' – it's not about falling in love with that new idea, but this new invention will rewire my brain and make me feel in love forever (not with it but with women/men/life/whatever). It will manipulate me somehow to feel in love (with whatever I want to be in love).<br><br>To get the gist of it, I think, it's important to watch the video and listen to the guy (as hard as it may be – I certainly didn't understand all of this rambling).

Maybe it's already a translation from another language.
