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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year 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.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Stop kink shaming me.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 1 year ago

WTF, I did it nevertheless.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] solivine@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

None of those things should be blown.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

These days it's all digital.

THANK... GOD?

Captain Bringdown ftw.

[–] arymandias@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 1 year ago

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

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

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