Ive never had to blow on a ds game...

[–] saltesc 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, you blow on the slot it goes into after licking the game because you don't have rubbing alcohol and water seems too dangerous.

Stop kink shaming me.

Wtf, you never had to blow DS cartridges. The pins are exposed on one side and just an old toothbrush could be used to clean them off.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

WTF, I did it nevertheless.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I tried the toothbrush on my priest, but it didn't help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Had to do these recently for some old games and they only worked afterward

I most assuredly do not remember ever having to blow on DS carts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The DS slot is the one that needs to be... Blown.

🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the DS cartridge should be cleaned with a q tip, not blown on. Smh my head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

None of those things should be blown.

This kinda made me sad that some kids still have to go through that

THANK... GOD?

There’s nothing quite like a mouth full of dust.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

This things are all recent apart from the priest, aren’t they?

Blowing on things like game cartridges and connectors is really bad for them. It causes corrosion.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The connectors are gold. You ain't gonna corrode that. You could, however, get saliva on them and cause a short.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Some connectors are gold. In specifically read the ones in old NES cartridges are prone to corrosion.
