    Not as bad as finding a “No Memory Card Detected” message.

      As someone with a hot air station and a bunch of electronics experience, all I see is gold.

          With the exception of the wii u, pretty much all of my consoles were ones that I bought as “defective”. Most of the time a good clean was all that was needed. Sometimes I had to replace one part or the other. The worst was a 3DS XL with a broken hinge that needed a full teardown just to remove that one plastic part.

    If you’ve got a bad disk drive, don’t assume it’s worthless - the homebrew scene has made incredible strides recently, and now you can play your backups from an internal solid state drive, or even from your memory card! There’s also SD adapters for memory cards, giving pretty much unlimited space. I haven’t used my disk drive in years.

    Disk cleaners saved and killed so many of my games. Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

      That’s a disturbing place for a comma 🤨🫣

          Another thing auto-correct needs to pay for.

      I used to have the game boy Zelda game, my little brother decided it would be funny to stuff it full of play doh. :(

      Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

      Everyone has that one friend who’s boot up screen looked like a dense metropolis.

    I mainly got used games as a kid so I saw this screen far too much…

    Also probably why I ran into a bunch of glitches, my earliest memories of playing racing games involved a lot of driving “off the map” before a new area loaded in. which sometimes it wouldn’t and just crash after a while. >.>
