Good times.

Still often blow my camera's dial, and it does help fixing the problem temporarily (probably bad dust sealing so there's dust inside that shorted the dial)

I'm still not sure why you'd blow into a crossbow, though Taihou is probably their resident expert on them. Anything big enough to jam up a crossbow is probably big enough to not be blown free, unlike dust on contacts. You were always better off cleaning those with rubbing alcohol anyways.

Also, Ashigara-sensei is love.

When blowing on cartridges, don't blow directly on the contacts. Put a thin fabric between your mouth and the contacts to prevent the water in your breath from damaging the connection points -- the shirt on your back works for this purpose.

Ashigara said: When you're getting rid of dust and dirt, you should use a commercially-available cleaning set!

Yeesh, i was in pre-school when i had one, so i didn't know enough to use one. Plus, i didn't even know there was a cleaning set for the cartridges.

On a side note, the new Teach me! is amusing. And nostalgic.

I learned the hard way, when my old Yoshi Island cartridge just stopped working. I had to save my lunch's money for like 6 months to buy another one because I didn't want my parents to notice.

Fixed that.

There's also the case that yes, you got rid of dust from cartridge contacts? But, what about the dust into the console contacts? Probably you have never done them before and you are always unnecessary putting the cartridge at fault. So make sure to always clean both when the system is failing.

The artist should combine Ashigara and his "Know-it-all" Shigure for some classes.

Shigure probably isn't old enough to know about blowing on cartridges.

Also, since magazines are game cartridges- *dodges 20.3cm shells* -would the planes be game data given physical form? Oh wait...

Windex on a paper towel works just fine. Just dry it off using the parts of the paper towel you didn't spray Windex on.

Blowing never works on my old Nintendo 64 cartridges anymore, neither does wetting your finger and using it on the contact area. I have to use my tongue to lick on it, works like a charm every time but tastes kinda "meh".
