This is something that doesn’t really make much of a difference, but if you’re not worried about screen burn then you may as well do this. When the console has been idle for a certain amount of time, it goes black, only to come back when a key is pressed. To prevent this, use these…

This isn’t exactly how I felt last night, but it’s pretty close: I have to be honest, I walked away in the middle of the debate. I was just getting too mad.
