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

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 23 points 10 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 10 months ago

Stop kink shaming me.

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 38 points 10 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 10 months ago

WTF, I did it nevertheless.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 7 points 10 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 10 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 10 months ago

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

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

None of those things should be blown.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 16 points 10 months ago

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

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

These days it's all digital.

Apple Vision gonna fix that, eventually...

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

THANK... GOD?

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

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 10 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 10 months ago

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 0 points 10 months ago

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