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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 23 points 8 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.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Stop kink shaming me.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months 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 8 months ago

WTF, I did it nevertheless.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 7 points 8 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 8 months ago

None of those things should be blown.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

THANK... GOD?

Captain Bringdown ftw.

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 8 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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.

[–] 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.
