I'm not surprised that games moving forward won't have a physical release. It's half expected for the future.

But on the other hand.
It's like having a Direct to DVD/VHS movie. It's not exactly a vote of confidence from the publisher.

On the other hand, though, restaurants are sometimes less cautious about cross-contamination or otherwise don't take the issue seriously because they know so many of the people claiming to be gluten intolerant are just jumping on the bandwagon, and that can make it less safe to eat out. By and large, though, celiac is indeed much easier to manage now than it was before GF became a fad.

Yeah, thankfully the dad vomits and the sister has horrific headaches (and was losing hair). Not deadly just an awful time.

To double up, I'm an electrical engineer. I went to school for this. I do failure analysis with circuit boards that have water on them.
It's fine.

Or maybe, and hear me out, I googled it, multiple sources are telling me that you have to use 90% or higher for obvious reasons, and now you're just being annoying so I'm going to keep rubbing it in your face because it's fun.

https://ecolink.com/info/isopropyl-alcohol-as-an-electronics-cleaner/#:~:text=I PA%2099%25%20is%20safe%20and,use%20the%20purest%20IPA%20available.

https://www.ifixit.com/News/36877/ask-ifixit-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-isopropyl- alcohol#:~:text=Can%20I%20Use%20It%20to,it%20onto%20circuits%20or%20wires.

You thinking that your personally using it and nothing bad happening means it's fine is like me mixing 10% dirt into my cooking and thinking it's fine because nothing bad happened.

You are free to use isopropyl, it will not hurt it, so long as you don't turn it on while the liquid is on the circuit. Because it will corrode. Like water.

It may be even better in professional settings where you're being super careful and wanting 99.99% accuracy and repeatablity. But this isn't a professional setting, you don't need to hold yourself to professional standards if you're just doing it once to one thing at home.

Additionally. Do not automatically trust a source saying you need their product. Those first two links you gave, are selling isopropyl. Of course they're saying you need their product.

The iFixit article, right after the bit you googled:
Theres enough water in that lower-grade stuff that it will take longer to evaporate, and may leave behind trace impurities from the water when youre finished.
That doesn't mean shit.

If you want counter-articles:
https://act-repair.com/can-i-wash-an-unplugged-circuit-board-in-soap-and-water-to-clean-it/
Many components on a circuit board are sealed, so would be ok for a quick wash. But some components are very sensitive to moisture, and washing those could lead to a catastrophic failure. Such as a relay, switch, or transformer; these generally are not sealed or are sealed poorly. Water in them could spell disaster not only for that component, but for the entire board.
(Note, this doesn't have any of those)

It's fine.

Idk why you wouldn't just run to the store and get the correct kind instead of risking water damage. It's not expensive and you can buy it anywhere.

70% is meant for sanitizing and disinfecting. 90%/99% is for electronics.

Bullshit, dendrite growth is only existent as a result of electrical current. No current, no short, nothing happens. As long as the water isn't there to rust long term, it's fine.

Electronics aren't some magical thing that exists in a bubble outside of the universe. It's cut out hunks of metal that are used to connect chips to chips. Don't let it rust.

That's fair, as long as you're not fucking with a battery as well. So take that off.

You can dip your cartridge in water, and so long as you dry it off before you put electricity in it, it'll be just fine.

It's considered rude to wave good bye? That sounds petty.

Well what about if the aunts and uncles feel left out, we should go over and say goodbye before we leave. Oh of course we should talk to my cousins, they're right there. Now that that's over.
Oh before we go, of course I need to say goodbye to my dad. Oh did you hear?

Do you guys just not understand how roguelites work then? There's no other genre in which losing progress (by which I don't mean losing the whole save entirely) also means losing everything you have, even things you still had BEFORE you saved.

You equip yourself and start a dungeon run in an RPG and lose progress, you just go back to before you started the run, with all the equipment you had at the time. Sucks, but all you really lost is the time spent or items gained in the dungeon.

You equip yourself start a run in a roguelite and lose progress, you're sent back to base - except without ANY of the equipment you had on you. You've got to get yourself some brand new equipment and anything else you were carrying, because that's all gone.

Yes my brother, that's the fun.
Losing is fun.

well, i don't really know much about that kind of stuff, but it seems like it would be really hard to make a computer type like a real person.

i mean, people are pretty complicated, and they use all kinds of different words and phrases, so it's probably not easy to program a computer to do that.

but who knows, maybe someone out there has figured it out

Oh, have you tried asking it to sound like a person?
