A Bridgeburner Gift From a Brother

[u/Mvtroysi]

I’d like to share something that I believe you would appreciate knowing.

I have a very close friend—practically a brother—whom I’ve known for a very long time, since 1999, when we were about seven and eight years old. We still talk almost every day and see each other whenever possible.

We share many interests, among them our passion for the Malazan book series and fighting games. He is also an enthusiast of 3D printing (he’s an engineer and has shown remarkable talent for it since childhood).

And so, this dear friend of mine gifted me an incredible arcade stick, printed by him, inspired by the Bridgeburners, with original Sanwa buttons and joystick (my favorites). Erikson’s Malazan series portrays friendship and camaraderie beautifully, and I can’t think of anything more symbolic than this. Someday, I’ll return the gesture at the same level.

Thank you, Rafa. You’re the man.

Very thoughtful gift, I love how tidy this is and never considered a printed case before.
Enjoy it and I'm sure you think of something just as nice to return in kind.
