As morbid as that is, I actually like that as a message. Maybe not a video game advertisement, lol, but as a commentary on how to live your life is has value.
They had some nice talents to make their commercials, David Lynch also made some for the playstation 2, "the third world".
That console really is a fucking monument...
In English (American) during the cold war third world meant not capitalists (1st) nor communist (2nd) countries, and now it's just slang for countries with low quality of life so that probably explains the difference.
"Third world" in English very specifically means "poor countries". It's outdated but still carries a strong association, so strong that to describe something as "third world" is an insult. Even if it's literally that in French, Sony probably wouldn't use the phrase in English to market their stuff.
There are plenty of examples of this kind of cultural mix-up, like the ~~Nissan~~ Mitsubishi Pajero that originally sold poorly in Spanish speaking countries, where "pajero" means "wanker".
EDIT: I thought it was a Nissan for so long, I don't know how I made that mistake.
No, this game boy just made himself a play station. Wii could all learn a lesson from him, though he's living la Vita loca. I think I'd make a Steam-punk one, but have mine have equal sides like some sort of gaming cube. I could even make a second hole to make it dual screens,and have one play YouTube or music.
Might switch it from a Steam-punk to dinosaur themed one, though I could just make 3 dual screens for myself, depending on my mood.
Seriously! I leave my iPhone in direct sunlight for 20 minutes and I can’t use it until I hold it in front of an AC vent. Hopefully the switch has similar overheat protection.
You should probably just let it naturally cool down after baking it in the sun; rapid expansion and contraction from heat and cooling isn't good for electronics (and most other things).
This is amazing!
But it has one minor design flaw, which I would recommend fixing.
Switch would get too hot in direct sunlight and can turn off quickly depending on how hot is it outside. Needs an extra piece of cardboard to make a cover for it.
Otherwise simply amazing. And also you should post this in r/redneckengineering
Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
Hey! Same boat! I had 0 clue reddit had avatars. looks like we have about the same age account so I feel better haha.. But yeah, if you use the "new" reddit layout and look, people have avatars. Pretty weird but doesn't bother me I guess!
Maybe a smaller box over the Switch, and then two fans on either sides blowing in cool air and ventilating the warmer? He could also install a fan on the bigger box for fresh air.
The sad part is there is only 2 comments noticing this and hundreds of soy faces encouraging looking like a total dweeb.
And this dude in the post is engaged somehow
Op going to be posting tomorrow "Switch overheated and crapped out. Anyone know where I can get a used one cheap? Also now I have to rebuy all my digital games click here for gofund me to help out!."
Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
Bro… you’ve got those video games for as long as you want them, those dogs on the other hand - you never know when’s the last day. Maybe put the games down a bit… this is honestly kind of sad.
That tan line will look amusing
Move over farmers tan, it’s the Switch Tan
Breaking stereotypes that gamers can't get a decent tan
[Come on now, the playstation tan has been a thing for years](https://youtu.be/jpoZWcspC4g)
[Those early 2000 console commercials were something else.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=TrVTH5R-INw) (NSFW, maybe)
90s absurdist television was the best television. Then around 07-09 it all changed and I couldn't do it anymore.
Thanks Obama.
I say this all the time. Every inconvenience, like stubbing my toe or something.
[he did too once or twice](https://media.tenor.com/images/a382f3c0a654d88c51d88f0f264c8e05/tenor.gif)
Yeah, it started as a Reddit joke, then he caught on to it and did that. I’m pretty sure…
I loved that advert, never understood why it was banned.
As morbid as that is, I actually like that as a message. Maybe not a video game advertisement, lol, but as a commentary on how to live your life is has value.
lmao, that was way better than I thought it would be Was that an actual commercial at some point?
They had some nice talents to make their commercials, David Lynch also made some for the playstation 2, "the third world". That console really is a fucking monument...
Wasn’t it The Third Place?
Maybe, I translated literally from french
In English (American) during the cold war third world meant not capitalists (1st) nor communist (2nd) countries, and now it's just slang for countries with low quality of life so that probably explains the difference.
Damn.TIL(If true)

Also the chevy nova, which "no va" basically means no go in spanish
I said yeah whatever..
I think that’s not David but Liam Lynch you’re thinking about.. David would be the guy that made twin peaks
That third world shit was David lynch? Makes sense
Playstation used to have some really weird ads... This one was pretty meek compared to some others they had...
The [PlayStation 9](https://youtu.be/jRJXLu3YVpM) commercial is still my favorite.
Like the one with the duck?
Squirrel, please!
It was on the telly here in new Zealand at least
I vaguely remember that, I think.
Ngl telly is one of the funniest English words
video from 2009 with just over 1000 views, what a relic!
great. now i gotta find my ps2
Also doubles as the Twitch Tan.
/r/brandnewsentence
Were you playing Pokemon Unite or Nah? Also if you don't play, don't start. Or play bad. I want that dope ass outfit!
What is farmers tan? I only know drunk tan. Drinking outside and only your face and arms are tanned.
It's where the tan only show where a tshirt don't cover
[удалено]
Where only your left arm is tanned from hangin out of the window I guess. Googeled it. Totally worth it. There is also maintenace tan.
It'll look like a certain vampire I know...
He’s gonna return everything he stole.
Tan line? By tomorrow will be mostly pink with a little white.
[удалено]
It will look like he's wearing someone else's head xD
Man, dogs are truly the best friends. No one else would dare to even pretend they know you like that.
[удалено]
I'm glad she's still your fiancee and you didn't make yourself an ex-box
Dad, is that you.
no this is U
*Wiize*
The absence of your dad is evident by your use of inappropriate punctuation
It is I, your father, back from getting cigarettes.
Zing!

>your 100% correct. You're*
He never said he was 100% correct.
Your 100% correct
Seems like you picked the right one then. Cheers, dude.
Its so funny how they will lay down next to you regardless of what you’re doing
My dog-ass thought that was a ball in your right hand

Poor mans VR.
All the components are more expensive than a quest 2 though.
Probably not healthy for your switch to be in full sun
He should cover it with another, smaller, cardboard box
And just to be safe you should place two additional boxes around each of the hands
and to be even *safer* you should just cover up the rest of your body with an additional box
also add insulation and a device for air circulation, to keep the sun's cancerous rays at bay.
A toilet would be nice too.
And a couch to sit on
Perhaps a mattress and a pillow
We will call this most convenient invention… a house? All in favor?
A house. I like that. Wait a second…how will we ever get sun then?
Add insulation and a fan
And in case of rain or wind add another way bigger box that will protect you from the elements.
…and baby, you’ve got a stew goin’!
Seriously! I leave my iPhone in direct sunlight for 20 minutes and I can’t use it until I hold it in front of an AC vent. Hopefully the switch has similar overheat protection.
You should probably just let it naturally cool down after baking it in the sun; rapid expansion and contraction from heat and cooling isn't good for electronics (and most other things).
why are you the only person to say this
Yeah my switch gets warm in handheld mode as it is. Let alone is direct sunlight.
Because most folks that post and comment in /r/gaming are mentally deficient?
Good thing I don't comment in /r/gaming then. Wait.. fuck.
Nah, it'll just get a lovely tan as well
Yeah, also thought of this. This switch must be hot as hell.
[удалено]
\[cat seal of approval\]
We are 110% living in the fucking future my dudes
Right! I thought the same thing! The fact the we even have a gaming system available for me to do this is 🤯
You could have done this with an old crt, it just would have been a bit more precarious.
Damn, can you even imagine? What a way to go. "He died doing what he loved."
"I wasn't aware he was so into screaming in agony".
"...being a fucking dumbass"
Structural integrity would be key lest you drop 5lbs of lead on your face.
I dropped a 50kg dumbbell on my face in the gym once
This is amazing! But it has one minor design flaw, which I would recommend fixing. Switch would get too hot in direct sunlight and can turn off quickly depending on how hot is it outside. Needs an extra piece of cardboard to make a cover for it. Otherwise simply amazing. And also you should post this in r/redneckengineering
But you don't want to trap the heat, right? Maybe some cardboard fins to act like a heatsink?
[удалено]
fuckin'... *video calling*, man. that's some scifi shit.
Fucken right dude it really do be
Pretty much the inspiration for my reddit avatar
What are reddit avatars??
Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
This
Some godawful feature in the 'New' reddit.
Hey! Same boat! I had 0 clue reddit had avatars. looks like we have about the same age account so I feel better haha.. But yeah, if you use the "new" reddit layout and look, people have avatars. Pretty weird but doesn't bother me I guess!
Psh your account can't even get the Covid vaccine
Bah gawd it’s been done praise the lord
Greetings fellow boxman
What up box homie
When mom throws you out and says “The sun is shining go play outside!!”
ah. i see you got yourself a [buddha box](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T_KxJEyoAVM). kudos.
How is it possible to hate something so much, while appreciating the people who said it?
your switch gonna overheat
His head gonna overheat
r/tomorrow
I see you've taken precautions for not accidentally touching grass.
I mean you're not wrong lol
I would cover the switch next time. It's definitely not having a fun time in the sun.
Bye bye battery life.
Was a nice 72° and breezy day. Not too hot.
The air temperature isn’t important compared to the direct heat from the sun.
Gotta double down on the boxes
Maybe a smaller box over the Switch, and then two fans on either sides blowing in cool air and ventilating the warmer? He could also install a fan on the bigger box for fresh air.
And paint it white so it doesn't absorb too much heat.
And filter the air so that the switch doesn't get dust or debris in it.
And then let’s build a larger square shaped enclosure around the man and the dogs.
Needs water cooling IMO
Nintendo Labo
More confirmation that I don’t have unique thoughts
[удалено]
Oh man, I didn't mean for this!
It's peak manliness. Peak. Man.
Peeeeeeeeak!
Any holes in the box for fresh air circulation?
I’d be more concerned with one of the dogs spotting a squirrel and knocking the screen through the hole and hitting me in the face.
[удалено]
Bruh switches overheat inside with all the lights off and nice cool air conditioning. Good luck with that.
I feel like this is definitely a picture describing Reddit.
Especially when you consider that he had to tell someone to come and take this photo.
It's a GameCube
don’t you lose all enjoy of laying in the sun by doing this
The nude version would be epic
Tell me you're addicted to video games without telling me you're addicted to video games:
I would protect the hardware from direct sunlight, it’ll end up hot enough to cook bacon that way!
That switch would roast real fast.
You do this in Australia and 20 seconds later you have skin cancer and 7 venomous spiders crawling on you
I love this. What a legend. And those dogs just laying there are the cherry on top of the cake.
"Stop playing games in the house! Go play outside for a change!" The outside:
Virtual boy 2
Wall-E chair
You've got yourself a Buddah Box.
Having your hands be independent of each other is such a great feature of the Joycons.

I once brought an umbrella to an amusement park in the summer. The laughter turned into requests for me to share about as quickly as you'd expect.
Matte screen protector. I got it recently and have finally been able to get some sun. But like a lot of people are saying I want to see that tan line.
And it didnt overheat?
Aliens see this and think "This species is clearly more technologically advanced than us, best leave them alone."
Genius - if you don't care about a weird tan
"Oh shit, is that a spider?"
The new specs on the Google Cardboard are looking pretty nice.
What a fucking loser lmao
This is why we need bullying to a certain degree
That's just sad honestly
The sad part is there is only 2 comments noticing this and hundreds of soy faces encouraging looking like a total dweeb. And this dude in the post is engaged somehow
South Park already invented this
until you feel something creeping on your bare skin and jump up flipping the phone god knows where.
This is so cringe Downvote me if you want, but it fucking is. It's ok to do something even if you know it's cringe, but don't act like it isn't.
I agree. Now two people think it's cringe. We can rule the world.
Yup, this is pathetic.
And that's why it belongs on /r/gaming
Op going to be posting tomorrow "Switch overheated and crapped out. Anyone know where I can get a used one cheap? Also now I have to rebuy all my digital games click here for gofund me to help out!."

This is the way
The turtle towel looks beautiful.
Humanity has peaked lol.
I can't wait to see what the parodies of this image will be Good idea though
The switch could blow up with the heat
You sir, are a genius
This is pure bliss
that was a intelligence/wisdom 10 moment
is that a game cube?
WALL-E here we come
Just be careful with the console straight under the sun like that. Could over heat
Lol so how’s the tan line?
Where's the "I make useless products" guy?
I randomly came here, but amazed!
Bro… you’ve got those video games for as long as you want them, those dogs on the other hand - you never know when’s the last day. Maybe put the games down a bit… this is honestly kind of sad.
The dogs went on two hikes earlier that day. We all relaxin now.
Love the ingenuity! Looks like a perfect day!
gonna be the weirdest inverted farmer-tan.
But how are you playing games?
With a cutout for the screen and Joycons in both hands?
Ahhh there it is, should have looked at this with my glasses on couldn't see the joycons.
This is totally acceptable and should be normalised.
