#or you *did* put it on a table but the laptop was just shittily designed

if your computer FRIES running anything then it's a problem with your computer. A properly working computer will NEVER get damaged from running a program (unless said program is a virus that overrites built-in protections, and there have been one or two instances of games doing that because they were so incompetently made). A computer WILL ALWAYS safely shut down if things start to go to shit, and ideally it will never even reach that point. That's why we have features like thermal throttling. If anything burns/melts/stops working, that's because your computer got pushed to a degree it never should have. It would've had to have extremely poor or broken power management and/or cooling.

A GAME CANNOT MELT YOUR HARDWARE UNLESS YOUR HARDWARE IS ALREADY FUCKED UP

you genuinely don’t have to increase graphics in games anymore. I don’t have a spaceship to run this on. My previous laptop blew up trying to run animal jam. I was more than happy with Skyrim graphics and portal 2 looks breathtaking to me. I just want to be able to play your game. I don’t want to see their pores and uncannily delineated teeth. One time fallout 4 crashed so hard it basically uninstalled itself from my computer. Ffxiv completely fried my laptops motherboard and I just kept playing ffxiv anyway. For where else would I go? Who else could I love but you
