Late Sunday night, after a devastating and all-too-familiar Green Bay Packers loss in the NFC Championship Game, I completed a goofy project I had started the previous week: a Nintendo Switch virtual pinball cabinet/controller made entirely out of LEGO bricks. Why? WHY NOT. Also: WHY, PACKERS, WHY!?
HERE’S THE LEFT FLIPPER BUTTON:
HERE’S THE RIGHT FLIPPER BUTTON UGH I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE WE LOST:

HERE’S MY PACKERS THREAD FROM SUNDAY THAT PRETTY MUCH COVERS THE EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER WE ALL WENT THROUGH SORRY FOR THE CAPS YEP THE BILLS LOST TOO UGH:
