!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Blowing didn't actually work (generally). The connection was just fragile and taking it out and reinserting (giggity) was what fixed the problem.
Q-tip cleaning was what would work if the problem was actually dust and dirt.
I can’t believe it was all a placebo this whole time.
It's more like taking an anti-parasite for a virus and feeling better because you had brain worms.
