Lol just two dudes meeting after they find out they Eskimo Bros

 
Just going to say prince was the better artist and MJ the better entertainer.
 
TIL blowing into NES cartridges did nothing to help the games work, and actually made it more likely that it would have a problem. Not sure if slapping it did anything. Ditto for my favorite "trick," which was to push it down when it wasn't fully in, so it would go in and down hard, giving it a two-plane motion like a slider (the pitch).

Ed: I recognize that this information is about a quarter century too late to be of any practical use...

Putting it in the freezer, however, worked like a charm.

I had an N64 and the game boy variants as cartridge based game systems. I know for certain that blowing into the cartridge was "common knowledge" but I can not recall doing it myself, so hopefully I stayed away from it. Remember one time we were at a beach on Crete when there was a mild sandstorm due to wind, and getting sand into my precious Pokemon Silver cartridge. Had to shake it a lot to get the sand in it, and I could still hear some grinding for a while which scared me. Can't recall any cartridges ever literally giving up on me, though. As for the N64, it was the controllers that gave out. Mario Party gave the sticks a hard run.

What kind of games did you play back then?

I need to study how to recognize when a singer's talent extends beyond their (allegedly) god given supply? They got a "For Dummies" book to help me with that, by chance?

You just said Prince's music released a demon spirit or something. You haven't explained how scripture makes you an authority on that kind of thing.

And, hey, this is the lounge thread, where we talk about the best way to cook a roast, and listen to @Gregolian whine about his job, and tell @sniper his opinion is special even if he lives in a state like Washington. All points of view are appreciated here.

You need to study the Bible first and foremost. Then dig into the occult and paganism...what it is, what it looks like, what it's about. Take some time and read up on the topics of spirits and demons... What they are and how they work. Look into secret societies and the entertainment industry. Then go back over Princes music, videos, . Then we can discuss this further. You can still reject everything and disagree but at least we can understand each other.

Maybe, but they don't support your conclusions.

And what conclusion is that?

I don't care what anyone- or empirical evidence- has to say. Blowing into those cartridges was both useful and necessary.
 
I can't remember cause I was little but my older brother may have done que-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol to get NES games to work. It seemed to do it but I could be completely wrong. He had like 50 games and only one stopped working.

How many times have you read the bible? How many times have you studied it?

I ask because the demon part you bring up is very controversial and incredibly diverse in nature. IT's what drives the wedge and lies about some of the early settlers in North America for starters. I'd be interested to hear what you have to say on the matter as I know you know a lot about secret societies and the entertainment industry. Whenever you have time.
