Nintendo DS Lite

Chrome-plated limited edition

Just put a charm on my ndsl 🐾💜

i think the ndsl is something like a siphonophore in that all of the tiny parts preform their own distinct actions and functions within the machinations of the system. the ndsl is not one creature but many colonies of creatures operating as one. this makes the ndsl part of the cniderian family and so it probably grows in polyps.

all of the small parts housed inside of the ndsl are very happy where they live, but once they have experienced the freedom of the outside world they are very reluctant to go back in.

the ribbon cable which connects the top screen to the motherboard needs to be wrapped around itself to fit through the hinge. this is very precarious and second in difficulty only to the shoulder buttons.

the creator of the ndsl spring and pin system for the shoulder buttons is evil and should be hunted for sport.

if you strip a tiny screw you should take it into a phone or electronics repair store and they will get it out for you. i meant to replace one of the stripped screws from my original system with a new one from the shell kit, but i forgot to and the stripped screw became stuck. i went to a local phone repair place and they were completely empty, but the guy was more than happy to take out the screw. what was a 90 minute ordeal of trying random youtube hacks (none of which worked for my particular problem) became a 30 second solution for someone with the right tools.

it's important to get up and walk around or stretch once every 30-60 minutes when you're hunched over a desk for multiple hours. i did not do this and i am suffering the consequences (tight shoulders and lower back pain).
