  • Hi, I do console repairs and I’ve done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:

    get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don’t be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.

    This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.


  • Someone else can explain it better, but basically the bicameral mind theory posits that the two hemispheres of the human brain only began communicating effectively in recent human history. Based off of symptoms related to illnesses we see now in the modern day, it is believed that this could be a plausible explanation for ancient humans claiming to have spirits, gods, etc talking to them.


  • The megami tensei series has some interesting moments like this: to start with, the fact that one of the spinoff series, Persona, is arguably much more successful than the mainline games. I think which of the series is better is up to any given individual’s tastes, but I’ve spoken with many persona fans that have never touched a mainline entry.

    Following up on that, I believe that P4 Golden is better than P5/P5 Royal. Don’t get me wrong- P5 has a better soundtrack and is visually striking, but I think P4G gives the player more freedom and has a more cohesive story. Additionally, I think P4G nails the Jungian themes better than P5/P5R. I believe both of these entries are top-tier games, I just also feel that P4G is overlooked in favor of P5R when P4G does nearly everything as well as or better than P5R outside of presentation.
