And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

I'm not gonna pretend like I didn't contribute to this whole digital vs physical game collecting by buying a ton of games digitally, but ironically enough doing that may have preserved the laser on my PS4/PS5/XSX so now I'm just re-buying games physically second-hand so Uno reverse, bitch.
