Could cold temperatures hurt a 3DS cartridge? I have one in the mail but it's snowing a lot right now. Would it be fine tomorrow?
>>323832708
Move your ass you lazy fuck
>>323832835
My mailbox is over a mile away and I can't drive my car through all this snow.
>>323832928
IN MY DAY

Answer the question fucknut.

THROUGH THE SNOW
It'll be totally fine. Just make sure you let it dry out from the condensation it will gather from the cold when you warm it up.
>>323833552
WOLVES ARE CHASING ME
they don't last in temperatures under 60 Fahrenheit
I hope you paid for insurance
>>323833775
BOTH WAYS
Just be sure to microwave it a bit to heat it up enough to dry any wetness before you use it.
>>323833775
UPHILL ALL THE WAY, BOTH WAYS
It should be fine, just let it warm up to room temp and you should be fine
Well, if leaving game in extreme heat is bad, then i can only assume that same for the cold as well. That is just an assumption of course. I would say go an be a little adventurous and go get the game and stuff it in your coat and get back inside.
>>323832708
WALK MOTHERFUCKER WALK.
THAT SHIT AIN'T GONNA LAST LONGER.
It'll be fine
>>323832708
I've left cases full of games in a backpack in my car overnight in single digit (Fahrenheit) temperatures.
It'll be fine.
Potentially yes. If it's cold enough the solder on the connections will shrink and come loose.

I'll probably pick it up tomorrow then when the snow melts. Thanks everyone.
Yes, either the cold will cause the soldering to become fucked up, or the condensation will cause internal rust.
>>323834774
WE USED TO DREEEEAM OF A BELT!
Of course not you faggot.
>>323835139
>tomorrow when the snow melts
If you're in a climate where snow can come and go in one day, you have nothing to worry about. If it was -40 or something it might be an issue, but being just below freezing won't do shit
Aren't cartridges indestructable? I once left one in my pant pocket and it survived a washing and a drying. It was bent but when I managed to jam it into my ds it worked fine
>>323835309
you are an idiot
>>323835667
You know metal can expand or contract due to heat or cold right?
That that is the cause of metal fatigue?
Guess what is on those printplates
Dumb fucking cunt.
Technology doesn't really have issues with cold, at worst it might take a while to warm up and behave fucked up until it does.
Then again nintendo has really been cheaping out on their build quality as of late, so who knows.
>>323835606
It's about 10F right now so I was worried if that was cold enough to effect it. If not then I'm not too worried.
>>323833775
THEY HUNT IN PACKS ARISEN
It's a Nintendo product. It would likely survive a house fire.
>>323832708
If it's in a package and not in direct contact with the freezing metal it'll be fine.
>>323836506
Nintendo products are indeed known for their sturdiness, I don't see the meme in that statement.
>>323836506
reported
>>323832708
it will be fine, but let it slowly warm up to room temperature before handling it
extreme cold can make adhesive brittle
>>323836343
I think you need to renew your meme license
>>323836343
Nintendo hasn't made their shit out of Nintendium for years. Hell, have they made any indestructible hardware post-gamecube?
>>323832708
>>323832928
Are you... by chance fat OP?
>>323836849
I can tell you haven't owned any recent Nintendo products. Shit is as indestructible as always.
>>323836965
>Shit is as indestructible as always.
The 3DS is not hard to break apart the two halves
>>323836907
No, I just don't want scrape snow and ice off my car and drive one mile in a snowstorm just to check the mail.
>>323832708
Do you realize how long this shit is probably sitting in cold warehouses and on the back of cold trucks? It's fine.

There was a time when this was true, not anymore sadly.
OP unless your driveway is like three miles long there's no reason to wait it out.
One time I let a friend borrow a 3DS game. She left her purse with her 3DS on top of her car like a dumbass. It fell onto the road and got ran over. I rushed out to the scene and pulled the mangled cartridge from one of the hundreds of pieces of 3DS scattered across the road. Still worked.
>>323836849
Original fat DS was built like a brick. That's about it though.

why is this still allowed?
>>323837143
My mail box is a mile away man.
>>323837379
Fair enough, as long as the mailbox is closed it'll be fine. I've had games sitting in the mailbox before I went to work, and they were okay when I got home.
>>323837060
Try walking fatty.
>>323838791
A mile in snow and ice in 10F weather? Are you crazy?
>>323838945
>10F
You're a small child, go walk there. Builds character.
>>323838945
It can't be that snowy if it will melt tomorrow, and -10 is nothing if you have a decent jacket, suck it up if you are so worried about your game boy
>>323838945
I didn't say naked.
>Buying games you are so apathetic about you have no problem waiting on them overnight.

>bringing games in from the cold
Such a good feeling. Go get that game pussy.
Fuck you, you spoiled prick.
>tfw still waiting on my physical copy of Senran Kagura Burst.
Fucking postman, I hate that stupid fuckwit.
>>323832708
Unless is -15°C it wont be affected.
>>323832708
It will be fine, you should go to primary school and learn some entry level physics.
You won't be, with that attitude, however.
Do enjoy your diabetes, though.

My sister knocked mine off the couch and it got completely fucked, and that was only like a 3 foot drop.
