Behold! The GamiFries: Because the Only Thing Between You and Victory is a Mouthful of McDonald's (and a Joy-Con Holder)
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Some absolute legend has created a 3D-printable Joy-Con holder for the Switch 2 that holds a box of McDonald's fries, because why *should* we have to choose between gaming and greasy goodness? It's either the peak of human innovation or the beginning of the end – you decide.
Alright, so I stumbled across something today that's either pure genius or a sign of the impending apocalypse... or both, really. Someone – and bless their chaotic heart – has created a Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con holder that's specifically designed to cradle a medium box of McDonald's fries. Yes, you read that right. GamiFries, as it's been christened, ensures that the sacred bond between gamer and greasy goodness remains unbroken.
According to IGN South Africa (cheers for spotting this gem!), the creator, in their infinite wisdom, has even uploaded the 3D-print file to MakerWorld for free. That's right, mate – you can print your own! All it takes is a 3D printer, some spare time, and a surprising amount of dedication to the pursuit of optimal snacking. The tagline? "Never choose between eating fries or gaming again." A noble goal, wouldn't you reckon?
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Jeff, won't that get, like, *super* greasy?" Fear not! The GamiFries is cleverly designed to accommodate the *entire* fry box, minimizing the risk of turning your Joy-Cons into a slippery, salty mess. It even has Controller and Handheld modes! I'm picturing myself ripping through a Big Mac whilst simultaneously throwing blue shells in Mario Kart World… the image is glorious.
Of course, there are rules. Strict, *vital* rules. Things like "Do not use the rig without the fries box" (obvious, but you gotta say it), "Do not attempt to eat your GamiFries rig" (again, solid advice), and the most important one: "Do not say 'Looks like it's time for another side quest' every time you eat a fry from GamiFries." Okay, fine, maybe *that* one is going too far.
But here's the thing: while this might seem like a frivolous bit of tomfoolery, it speaks to something deeper about gaming culture. It's about embracing the absurd, celebrating the impractical, and, most importantly, prioritizing our cravings. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual player, the GamiFries reminds us that gaming should be fun, and sometimes, fun involves a whole lot of golden, crispy potatoes.
Speaking of Switch 2, IGN’s review awarded it 7/10, calling it “a vital upgrade over the original Switch if that's the only way you've been able to play games for the last eight years”. They did note that it’s “about as exciting as a long-overdue phone upgrade in the larger scheme of things”, but hey, at least you can eat fries with it now. I’m personally hoping for a version that includes a napkin dispenser. Gotta keep those fingers clean for maximum button-mashing, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a 3D printer and a truly shameful amount of fries.
