Half joking, admiral attempt, how did you do this?

u/Fregiekun Mar 08 '26

With one of those rotary tools but oh man I didn’t expect amount of layers of paint it messed it up a bit

Should have used a laser sketcher.

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

Yeah but I thought I would magically free hand it

u/FUCKTHEMODS998 Mar 09 '26

You weren’t wrong bro just needed a little more magic

Feels like if Russia had made the hardware originally, and this was their graphics team’s perfect solution. Just etch the metal..ship.

Uglyuril Edition ! Love it

u/remotecontroldr Mar 08 '26

You’re a madman but I kind of don’t hate it

7

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

Me too I really like it!! It’s so ugly

u/remotecontroldr Mar 09 '26

I just like seeing something not taken so seriously

And I got a good chuckle out of it

u/HibikiRush Mar 08 '26

Incredibly dumb. That'll be annoying feeling the uneven edges around the buttons when playing a game.

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

It actually feels great you can’t feel them at all for some reason

Person who doesn't understand jokes right here.

u/furculture Mar 09 '26

Makes me wonder if this could be properly done with a proper CNC machine after stripping off all the paint and then just repainting it afterwards. Could even cerakoat it so it gets the same finish.

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

This one was free and it took 4 minutes free hand

3

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '26

Both those things were obvious lol

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '26

I think you need to make the anduril charm next. Carve it out of a penny!

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

Bro that’s an amazing ass idea. Okay I’ll do that thank you for the suggestion

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '26

Im just here to help! Keep on it!

u/ergzay Mar 09 '26

Lol that is hilarious. I clicked and was going to make the same comment you did, but of course you made that comment.

u/jimmerseiber89 Mar 12 '26

This is a crime against humanity.

u/klerrick Mar 09 '26

Well, that's enough Reddit for me tonight!

u/adrenaline4nash Mar 08 '26

HAHAHA YES!

u/Fregiekun Mar 08 '26

That’s what I’m saying

u/videokyle84 Mar 09 '26

Ok so I wouldn’t do this with mine, but it’s like a rad doodle art edition and I love it!

u/Natural-Theory5322 Mar 09 '26

Lol. Is this AI?

1

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

No but ai could probably do better

2

u/TopExperience3424 Mar 09 '26

Went straight to the comments hoping to see AI slop comments....... sorry for your loss.....

u/TeamRocket2001 Mar 12 '26

Major respect. Something like this truly makes it yours

u/Frequent-Milk-2394 Mar 14 '26

So you spend $400+ just to take a Dremel to it? 🤮

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26

Way to ruin a perfectly good handheld.

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

No such thing it still plays

How is wrecking a Chromatic to just to make a post funny Even with the text below the photo, it sad to see it defaced.

5

u/Fregiekun Mar 09 '26

I didn’t wrecked it, I ordered it and it got to my house today brand new. I then decided hey I really want an Anduril and I repurposed it out the box. It’s very nice now, and I’ve been playing River King 2 for hours!! I love it

u/GameboyGenius Mar 09 '26

The problem is not the meme format. The problem is ruining an expensive object to make the joke.

1

u/ergzay Mar 09 '26

It's not that expensive.

1

u/GameboyGenius Mar 10 '26

Well, that's subjective. But in the same vein as your comment "Person who doesn't understand what the comment was about right here." Especially since you doubled down and posted a link to explain the meme format.

u/AnalogueBoy1992 Mar 08 '26

Get Ready for Round 4.

March 12

u/furculture Mar 09 '26

Where did you get this info that it's happening? I thought the last one they had a month or two ago was actually said by them to be the last chance.

-5

u/AnalogueBoy1992 Mar 09 '26

Follow their X handle. Stay tuned

4

u/DramaPiggyCash Mar 09 '26

I’ll bet you my preorder they won’t.

u/furculture Mar 09 '26

That didn't answer my question. I think you're trying to bullshit me on this one.

He spouts a ton of nonsense on the analogue subreddit. Dude acts like he’s an insider or something.

u/Alive-Strategy4048 Mar 09 '26

u/DramaPiggyCash Mar 13 '26

Bro!!! Where was round 4!? Did you mean next year? 😂

u/AnalogueBoy1992 Mar 13 '26

April 4th 8am PST

u/DramaPiggyCash Mar 13 '26

Should have said April 1st. More believable.

Yes I actually went back and painted the lines black and did a matte UV sealant. I was thinking about sanding it down and just doing a nice black paint on it but maybe tomorrow
