I just found some people noticing that it is possible to exceed the 140 char length of tweets if it looks like a YouTube url.
I probed with it a bit and made a tweet that causes my Webbrowser (latest Google Chrome) to either freeze or crash when the Tweet shows up on Twitter's front page.
Here's the link to my tweet: https://twitter.com/CosmoCortney/status/926912373583204352

I don't want to try it myself because I want to keep my Switch below 4.0.0

Welcome to GBATemp, 90% of the posts here are a waste of time.

"I just hang out here because uselessness is useful apparently."
Anyway, the guy that originally discovered this leveraged a loophole in Twitter's URL shortener, and actually made a post with over 30,000 characters in it. Twitter has since patched it.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
