Twitch and YouTube star Ludwig Ahgren is now the proud owner of the worst Nintendo GameCube controller ever made. It's the ‘D*ck and Balls' controller and it was a custom commission where the streamer could have asked for anything, anything but this.
It's giving "the funniest joke from someone who thinks that secondary school was the highlight of their life." I suppose I have to give credit to the construction, but surely, there is some sort of story to this horrible creation. Speaking to Mel Magazine, the designer explained that he held one of the first Among Us tournaments on Twitch before the game became a household name. "Ludwig was in there with a bunch of his friends,” said Michael. “As host, I said whoever won the tournament would get a custom controller made by me — and Ludwig won.”

Accordingly, Michael asked Ludwig what he would like. “Oh, I want a d*ck and balls," replied the streamer. Stunned, Michael asked again. “I reached out to a few of his roommates and they were like, ‘Yeah, just run with it,’” he says. “And so, I did exactly that.” At first blush, it looks like a regular controller, bar the unpleasant gradient of beige across it. It's when you turn it upside down that you see... I don't want to write this story so here are the photos:
“Honestly, there’s no way around it,” said Michael. "The dick and balls controller feels really good in your hands.” Now, it's not really an article written by me until I ruin your fun. So strap in. Ahgren's request for this custom controller is one step up from scrawling penises on school desks, walls, papers, lockers, you name it. What is the obsession with this part of the anatomy? Fortunately, VICE found out a possible answer from psychoanalyst Dr. Vanessa Sinclair.

"The people who are drawing penises over and over again are trying to assert that they have the power. That they have the phallus and do not lack. That they're not vulnerable," offered Sinclair. "It's the same classic example of older men who buy a sports car or motorcycle when their physical health and strength begins to decline." Oops. Funny controller got spoiled by Freud. Shame.
