    LPT: instead of throwing your playstation away after each game, try turning it off and on again to choose a new game.

              Good to know. I’ll put it in for a few minutes once it’s out the dishwasher. The dishwasher never quite fully dries my PS5, I usually have to put it in the tumble dryer afterwards with the silverware.

      …i just want to point out that you havent needed to power off a videogame console to change games since the original playstation in 1997 (or whenever that was, my memory of the Before Times is hazy)

        Even better! More reason not to throw it away in this environmentally conscious age.

        It’s not about money - I get them free from the local weekly charity giveaways - it’s about the environment. Did you know that PlayStations contain more plastic than half a toothbrush? And manufacturing ten of them uses more energy than five perforated toilet rolls?

        Every time you throw away a PS5, another penguin dies.
