It destroys more than just vidya, it fricks up anything electronic.
It doesn't happen that often, last big one happened way back in 1859. It made telegraph systems around the world unusable.

the chance of a gamma ray burst being located in our galaxy and directly pointed at us is so slim all the water on earth would have boiled off by then. yellowstone however is a regular event which will destroy the us when it happens, it's a matter of when of course

*destroys your vidya machine*
sun is based
Classic
Why hasn't a solar flare wiped out all electronics on earth before? Me thinks you Black folk are worried about a literal boogeyman.

How close wouldmst thus "coronal mass ejection" need to come to me to fry all of my electronics?
You can just build a giant faraday cage around your house, problem solved.
she will WHAT on my comp?
shid and fard
>Born too early for my PC to be powered by a Dyson sphere
Dyson Sphere is purely fictional. It will never be real
homie the fricking Oort cloud is a literal fricking dyson sphere
homieh you can't even LOOK at the fricker, how you gonna put a energy-sucking harness 'round the motherfricker?
Just wear sunglasses.
you do it night, dumbass

Nothing's gonna happen. Sorry doomposters but your shit life isn't going to change at all by it
Not if I destroy it first.
My computer is in a Faraday cage. Nice try sun.
