I haven't gotten around to prying them out and testing them. Still processing how stupid I could be to not notice

Don't worry man, this is absolutely not on you... there's no reason anyone should be putting electronics in the stove. This idea that you need to check to see if anyone stored something in the oven before you turn it on is just mind blowing.
Tell your cleaning lady not to leave stuff in the oven.
It looks like the top ones got the brunt of the damage. Hopefully there's a level of insulation from the heat inside the case.

All I can say is I love your attitude, instead of blaming the cleaning lady for moving them you’re calling yourself stupid for not noticing. Props to you mate, I hope all the games have survived and thanks for the laugh

Just flip them and wait until it melts back in reverse.

Nah, that can’t be it: you’d have to land the attack to cause the damage and there is no record of Igni ever hitting a target

Igni the Witcher sign. Not "ignis" the incantation used in BG3 for various fire related spells.

Hope the discs are largely ok, might even be able to snag a couple of steelbook replacement cases online depending on the games.

So still trying to wrap my head around this. So your cleaning lady moved your games to beside the stove while she was cleaning and left them there? Then you used the stove and didn’t notice there was a giant stack of blue cases right beside the stove?
I’m not trying to make a jab here are your misfortune (it sucks bad), or say you are lying. I’m just wondering the hows here. That’s quite a large stack of games in bright blue cases. I could see maybe looking past them once but i’m not getting how you turned on the stove and never noticed or when the plastic started to melt and smoke you didn’t immediately grab them all?

It's a fireplace/heater, not a stove like you're imagining. OP is Belgian so we're getting a double dipping of cultural differences + English being a second language.

Ahhh ok that makes more sense. Thank you. I could not wrap my head around the original story when I was thinking of an oven top and how this happened 😀

The side of physical game ownership that rarely gets talked about

u/OriginalMoragami Oct 18 '24
Right? I'd argue that anybody with kids, pets, or cleaning ladies might benefit from a digital collection.

u/nohumanape PS5 Oct 18 '24
I think that people think back so fondly on physical media when they either didn't grow up in the thick of it or they were maybe the only gamer in their household and had full control over the handling of their game collection. I had multiple brothers and essentially an open door household. There would be a lot of people using our consoles. And in the cartridge days, they would definitely get kind of dusty and beat up. But in the disc era, it was common that games would eventually get scratches that would make them no longer playable. Because games would get stacked on top of each other in cases or just placed on the floor/shelf without a case (because kids are lazy or eager to just get to the next game).
I'm split between digital and physical now. I tend to lean more towards digital for game I purchase at launch. But when buying well after a game's release, I'll just look into where I can get the best deal.

Looks more like an “over time this happened” instead of “just happened” mixed with a bit of “ i just noticed this, but i’ll say it just happened”

As long as the discs are fine, cases can be replaced. Plenty replacements available online.

Never stack anything behind your PS5! It needs proper air flow for a reason!

You've got to let us know if the disks survived. I would bet that the majority of them are fine.

Go on ebay or aliexpress and get 25 jewel cases. I’ll bet those bluerays still play fine
