Gaming used to be such a simple pleasure; pop a cartridge in a console, press start and that was it. Play the damned game. the whole game; no patches, no post-release DLC, no microtransactions, no forced online multiplayer and social features. Here’s a comic from Dorkly that pretty much sums it up.
It’s Part 3. Here’s Part 1 and Part 2!

You were cleaning the bottom part of a printed circuit board so the same rules apply with cleaning any electronics.
Some people blow like Sargon that will lead to corrosion or even water damage if spit gets onto any electronics. Blowing can also cause dust to be blown into and accumulate in the nooks crannies causing issue later on.
Best solution to this day to clean any electronics is surgical spirits and ear-buds.

The new age of gaming have given us more options.
Gamer: What do I have to do to get a full game with all the content that works as it is supposed to on day of release?
Publisher (drops pants): You can either blow on it OR turn around.

LMFAO love this geoff…man it has changed. This expansion portion was the best. DLC for red color options……..Things really aren’t the same. But you know hey Geoff…at it’s core, besides all the bullshit. At the core of video games ITSELF….it still pretty much is the same….and I still love games non the less…the bullshit extras….not so much..

I remember my one friend used to write down the level codes with this Jurrasic Park game on his Sega. He wrote it in the tv guide magazine. He wrote down the code for level two, but accidentally got it wrong. When he played the game again it was level 9 or something!! He just phoned me and was like: “Dude. My house. Now.”
