Video game Twitch streamer Rudeism is known for playing games. strange He has been an air traffic controller for nearly a decade, but this time he probably outdid himself. He's playing his Baldur's Gate 3 with his custom-made 3D-printed mysterious artifacts, based on key items and lore from the blockbuster role-playing game. .
As Rudeism (whose real name is Dylan Beck and is originally from New Zealand) explains, the entire development was “supposed to take about a week,” but he worked on it a little and it ended up being a five-month project. It has become a project. The full launch of Baldur's Gate 3 was in August 2023.
I changed the artifact from @baldursgate3 To the controller!
This is a fully functional wireless Xbox controller. It has 20 buttons and a motion sensor that simulates a thumbstick.

“It's not the most ergonomic controller I've ever made, but it's definitely one of the most unique,” Beck says. “That’s what I aim for with my work.”
What is the mysterious artifact?
In Baldur's Gate 3, a mysterious artifact is important to the main story. This is similar to his 12-sided dice used by players in the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game. Rudeism's controller has inputs for all the Xbox gamepad buttons on both sides. Analog stick movement comes from motion controls within the artifact.
Beck played World of Warcraft (reached level 100) on an old-fashioned dance pad, Overwatch on a microwave (seriously), and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on a literal ocarina.

He has also played other games with banana bunches and French bread baguettes.
