You usually have to place your console near a TV, or some other kind of monitor, so no, I don't remember the placement of the console being insignificant.

My friend who is a megaslob tends to leave his consoles (PS3, PS4, 360, Dreamcast) and laptop laying around his room wherever is convenient, including carpeting covered in dog hair and couch coated in dirty clothes and they always run fine wherever they're sitting. It infuriates me because, ironically, my laptops and consoles have always overheated if I simply forgot to sweep and dust thoroughly for a few days.

They used to make consoles you could kick it down the street and it'd still play good as new. Nowadays your console has to sit aboard a bed of egyptian cotton towels in a room with good vibes. You have to make it dinner and tuck it in at night or it blows up. You have to kiss it.

Depends, Daisy is a garbage tier princess and deserves to be thrown out with the loving trash, Peach is unremarkable and easily ignored since she exists solely as a Macguffin and not as an actual member of royalty for 30+ years, where as Rosilina is probably the only real princess among them. There's also Zelda but she switches between queen and princess depending on the game and is therefore a fair weather princess and is very unreliable. However they all owe their existence to Disney, and even the shittiest of poo poo Disney Princesses outshine even the brightest Videogame one.

When they put Dreamcasts into those enclosed booths in game stores, they would have to replace them every few months (sometimes weeks). They literally got cooked.

I got a 360 3 years after it came out and it still red ringed after a couple months and would scratch disks if you tilted it while running.

Pookum posted:would scratch disks if you tilted it while running. what a mystery! clearly your console is faulty! I got my 360 for Christmas '07. Always kept it laid flat in a dust-free, well ventilated area because I'm not an idiot. Thing still runs quiet as a mouse. I got my wii the year before that. I was once playing metroid prime with a wired controller while it was standing upright and my roommate tripped over the cord. the entire system tumbled off the three-foot table onto a hard floor and busted the gamecube port panels. It wasn't phased. i just picked it up and put it back and continued playing lol Reminds me of an only tangentially related story about indestructible Nintendo products: my friend had a controller that would short his gamecube and shut it off whenever you plug it in. The system wouldn't start with it plugged in either. it was really bizarre, especially considering it was an official gc controller and not some mad catz poo poo. so we decided to beat the poo poo out of it by throwing it at the solid brick walls of our dorm hall and swing it around by the cord to knock it around the hard floors. we were at it for at least 15 or 20 minutes or so before we finally broke it and even then we only got a small triangular chip out of it. we eventually gave up
