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

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Stop kink shaming me.

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] genfood@feddit.de 11 points 9 months ago

WTF, I did it nevertheless.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 7 points 9 months ago

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

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.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

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

🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

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

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

None of those things should be blown.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 16 points 9 months ago

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

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Apple Vision gonna fix that, eventually...

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

THANK... GOD?

Captain Bringdown ftw.

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

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 9 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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -1 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 0 points 8 months ago

Gotta get all that [checks notes] water off my teeth!
