Not only was the music unhelpful, it actually confused me as to what was going on.

That looks more like water vapor than smoke...also, yes I deliberately said water vapor to avoid the pun.

Go into it with a grain of salt. It's a gacha game and thus has all the predatory practices you would expect from the genre.
That having been said, it's a very high quality game. I would easily pay $60 for a game that's genshin impact but reasonable.
DarkMagic1516
I wouldn't say 60 bucks more like 20-30, Dialogue is rough around the edges with the game refering to you as she while your the male twin-
Sometimes and it tries to be super dramatic and epic at times but gives you like 6-8 enemies before the massed army invasion is stopped.
Still a fun game tho, I re picked it back up and been sinking in hours of play time.

That battery should visit a therapist if it's been bottling up it's frustrations like that.
DrBabyDanny
It’s not. Thermal runaway creates insanely hot fire that would melt the keyboard/palmrest immediately. Also causes pwr short, so laptop off
TheBlueMuppet
Also itd be much darker i thing. And more fire.

Take it outside! I’d rather get a little burned than have my house burn down.
torisenblack
Or if you're going to sit there like a moron, at least try to eject the battery outside, might save house and maybe even laptop.

I don't think the fans are powerful enough to throw that much out of anything. Doesn't mean it's real though.
InfinitusEquitas
They are, I find the image on screen being stable suspect. Just ramp up the fans to max rpm and they will easily mimic that. Usually with...
A genuine situation you would see some expansion and deforestation.
Ideally toss out a window... Break window if necessary... Those fumes are BAD, and a fire is a high probability.
ABC or BC works. Not sure whats standard for people but I work with this stuff. Dry chemical extinguisher.
Or a fire extinguisher*
yappingboy
Most people don't have a class D extinguisher in their house. It's mostly A or K
I don't think a class D is gonna stop that. You'd need to dump cryogenic fluid on it or something
D is for metal fires, which is what a lithium battery thermal runaway would be
DiscoTurtle87
I dont believe an extinguisher will stop the chemical reactions causing the issue.
I dont believe ANY extinguisher is going to get inside the computer or battery. That was my point.
ATribeofAfricanNatives
How big of an explosion would actually happen?
YoungHeathen
I think it vents in part to avoid exploding.
NaughtButOne
No real "explosion", but imagine a high pressure garden hose, except instead of water, it's fire.
fireaza
So, a firehose?
Imalwaysready
I've read they can take out a whole block if you aren't careful and store your blocks too close to your computer.
A fairly large firecracker maybe? Like one of those illegal ones maybe. Alternatively it will vent out a hole like a flamethrower.
Interesting, thanks!

I doubt it's real, why would it still be on? Looks like vape steam.
LaBix
If it is plugged in, it is likely that was the cause of the thermal runaway, and why it is still working... until the battery pops.

Put it in a non flammable container if possible or yet it far away, or submerge (it's dead anyways if the battery is in a runaway) 1/2

I never comment, do not submerge in water as that will accelerate the fire. Cheap lithium fire suppression is to dump sand on it outside.
