I don't have anything too interesting lined up for this week, and I feel like the news tab is a bit underutilized, so I thought I'd show off my incompetently built fight stick with an equally incompetently written blog post.

So without further ado...

Behold, The Sinanju Shit Box!

Now here's the thing, at this point in time, I've owned 5 different fight sticks (this one included), 3 cheap ones I bought on Amazon, and 1 nice one I built myself, all of which functioned perfectly fine. But since I'm a rage juice huffing ape-thing when I play fighting games, they always end up in the trash. In pieces. Oops.

My solution: make a cheap ass stick that's easy to replace for when those brain rage goblins decide to attack my psyche.

I say cheap, but I had to buy the stick and some of the other parts. It was maybe $60 total? I don't know.

It's all Sanwa parts, so it was kinda worth spending a little extra cash for the missing and/or damaged parts that I needed from the previous sticks.

Except it would have been if I didn't order the wrong buttons! Aaawww man!

Did I seriously use side buttons for face buttons? (yes)

Microscopic; a rat couldn't play on those! You better play that game real good, because if you miss a button, it's nothing but the sharp sting of defeat and the cold hard cardboard and duct tape at the tip of your fingers. Yeah...

Let's ignore Rudolph's red tipped tallywacker sticking out of that glory hole over there and open this box up.

The Inside of The Box!

Oh... Oh my god. Is that a paintbrush!? (yes)

So yeah, the cardboard casing posed some unique structural challenges I wasn't ready for. The buttons barely stayed in place, the screws ripped through the cardboard, and when I punched it...

Well, anyway, all that was resolved with a butt load of duct tape, even more super glue, and a handful of paintbrushes.

It pays to be an artist, who knew?

... honestly, there's just too much fuckery in this thing. Just look at it for a minute, and YOU tell ME what's wrong with it.

Oh, and I never even ended up building the Gunpla that came inside.

Hey, if you made it this far... Why? Why did you read this? Go draw something. But thanks anyway; I was kind of bored, so this was an ok late-night waste of time.

Maybe I'll write something with actual thought put into it some other time, but for now...

Fuck this, I'm going to bed.
