    Had a flashback to that shitty PC I had as a kid where if you punched the side around the power supply, the pc would reboot.

        Because its a naughty computer in need if punishment.

        Probably gaming related, keyboards and mice can only take so much rage before you need to go one up.

        Have you not vented frustration on a peripheral/controller or in red blind rage turned the console/PC off?

          It just makes me think of certain old crappy Sony TV production monitors that would stop working in color but if you hit them in the right place they’d work again for a little while. Sony sold the parts to fix them for more than a new monitor so a lot of stations just put them places where it didn’t matter if they were black and white instead of color.
