How might I go about trying to clean this? Plan is to use GooGone and the Dremel with some some polishing tips.

[Anonymous No.6328574]

A dremel? What? Bro just go to the pharmacy and get 90 percent or higher rubbing alcohol and some cotton swaps. A little bit of elbom grease and the marker will be gone.

[Anonymous No.6328579]

Backside. I think I let some GooGone sit on it and tried to work at it with a paper tower. But with the textured surface, didn’t work out too well.
Will have to take a closer look at the label to see what its state is. I did this a while ago and decided to revisit since I’ve been holed up at home recently.

[Anonymous No.6328587]

Same guy as above. That back label is done, if you put goo gone or rubbing alcohol on it, it will prob make the adhesive dissolve. Like like I said above, rubbing alchol would would great, I've done it a ton before.

I've never tried Goo Gone, but lot's of people use that as well. You might need to let it soak into the marker for 10 minutes or so to get it to lift. But a dremel should be unnecessary, just use cotton swaps.

[Anonymous No.6328593]

>>6328587
This should be obvious, but it might not be to everyone. Obviously avoid getting goo gone or and cleaning shit on the labels you want to save, if it doesn't make the glue dissolve and the label start to lift off, it will make the ink run or fade.

Just go over it several times with a dry erase marker, then wipe it off. It takes the permanent marker with it.

Ive had mixed results with that trick. Had a calc with the owner’s name written on a smooth, non textured surface. Much of the ink was removed, but there was clear remnants left behind after multiple tries.

>>6328574
Dremel is just to make make the wiping easier. Had some old calculator cases with names written with a paint pen. Elbow grease barely made a dent, but careful work with the Dremel cleaned things right up.

Trace over it with a dry-erase marker, then wipe it off. There's a chemical that dissolves the ink. It will probably take several passes, but it will eventually dissolve all the way. This method has worked for every disc and cartridge I've used it on.

Mr Clean magic erasers work but be sure you dampen them first and don't use them too much in a single area. It's really fine sandpaper but it works fine for stuff like this if you aren't retarded.

Not ok. Even a q-tip easily wears down the cart's texture if you press too hard or for too long

Use these or equivalent. Go slow and do not apply too much force. You can always scrape away a little more but you can't ever put it back. Be patient.

I had bought a game from a pawn shop before that had "dad don't steal" on the inside of the box.

Perhaps children do it not to tag it for some role play reason of a 'hood rat' image (if that's what you imply) but to deter the parent from pawning their presents as it would decrease it's value.

That anon again. It was windwaker too. Very sad.

However, i coincidentally was half raised in foster care. It's no more fun than living with bad parents.

About the government, it's by the state so I was essentially trapped in my state by them up until 25, as the assets of free foster kid college extend to that age.

Fucking foster care. The real governments that matter, the powers, are the local ones. To this day I am neet and stuck in the state, at age 31. I dropped out but refuse to go back to being around rabid niggers nor rednecks in an entry level job nor a blue collar one.

The reason the governments take kids can be very stupid also. Druggies often get kids back after completing a program. I never went back just because mommy didn't have a good lawyer and daddy did but was insane. Guess what happened? She became a felon even though he was the abusive one!

>Dad promptly turned around and pawned Genesis and games for drug money
>Uncle found out about this, went to the pawn shop, told them the Genesis was "stolen", and somehow got it back
>"come over and play it anytime you like"
>friend is happy that uncle is keeping "his" Genesis in protective care
>Happiness dashed when dad beats him, because that pawn shop has now declared dad persona non grata for peddling stolen goods, and they were the ones who paid the most

As a kid, I was obsessed about keeping my system and my SNES cartridges as clean as possible. I always washed my hands before touching the system, and often played it with a pair of cotton gloves. It drove me nuts when my friends would eat chocolate, chips or cheetos and then touch my fucking controllers.

This level of autistic cleanliness extended to the cartridges. They had to be pristine. I kept all the boxes and manuals separate from the cartridges, which were stored in a small rubbermaid bin. The boxes were in another rubbermaid bin that I kept under my bed. It honestly baffled me that my friends threw out the boxes and manuals for their games. To this day I don't understand why people did that.

The result of all this autism is that I now have 11 completely mint SNES games. There is a really noticeable difference between the games I acquired as a kid and the ones I bought at various points later on in life.

I think most people are just pigs. I don't regard myself as being particularly careful with my computers, I drink tea and eat scones while I sit at my PC. But it still looks pretty clean. When I use certain coworkers' computers, the fucking things are caked in grease and food residue. What gets me is they act all offended when I react with visible disgust, as if living like this is normal.

Similarly, people seem to act like it's normal for used controllers to be encrusted in organic material, or for cartridges to be sticky with Coca-Cola spills and residue from takeout Chinese food. Baffles me.
