Legends ZA 🧡 This game truly has my whole heart right now! The wonderful controller was designed by me and made a reality by @cptnalex.cptnalex.com 😊

Go for the Gold and Race Around the World in style with the Nintendo Switch 2! Got what it takes to be the World Champion?! PROVE IT ON THE TRACK! This design (and many more) are headed to our storefront soon! #NintendoSwitch2

Cosmo the GameBot (my mascot, and the mascot our our store, Comic Controllers!) has made his debut in plushie form! And he’s already loving his new home!

2025 was supposed to be my year for all good things… but given that my business relies healthy on imported products (whose doesn’t?) this year has started off, feeling like everything is impossible. All of that said, I still do think 2025 is gonna be one of the best years yet.

Didn’t expect to go viral on Twitter today with my Switch 2 opinions, but the Switch 2 and its games are overpriced - and consumers agree with me.

I already know the new joy-con won’t significantly change my life or workload… But waiting with baited breathe to see what happens with the new Pro Controller tomorrow 😣😣😣

ANAHEIM! Cosmo (the Gamebot) and I are out here in sunny Southern California for @WonderCon 2025! Come check out over 100 controller designs including over 20 brand new designs! P.S. - This is as good a time as any to announce..Cosmo plushies coming soon!

I produced a vinyl record! ✅ I grew up as a chronically online introverted teenager, and spent most of HS and early College playing a game called Habbo Hotel Last year I partnered with them and we produced a vinyl record together that just released 🙌🏻 Never thought I’d do something this cool!

I need to remember to post on BlueSky more often…. Anyways here’s a photo of me from a week ago before Saturday at Emerald City Comic Con 🙌🏻 I’ve never publicly said it, but my work uniform is subtly inspired by Star Trek 🖖🏻

ⒹⒺⓅⒶⓇⓉⒾⓃⒼ ⓈⓄⓄⓃ: ɴᴇᴡ ᴄʀᴇᴡ ʙᴀᴅɢᴇs With the purchase of any hand painted controller, you automatically join the CptnAlex Designs crew, and this year we’re giving you a set of wings to prove it! Purchase any custom controller during 2025 and you’ll receive a free set of wings while supplies last!

Your journey through Lumiose City is nearly here! As you embark on this new mission, Quasartico’s redevelopment project will give you a new outlook on this extraordinary city. Q̵̭̂ư̷̠â̴̯s̶͕̽a̶̗͐r̸̝̄t̴̹̑i̸̯̓c̴͝ͅo̸̬̽ is looking forward to welcoming you to the New L̵u̶m̸i̴o̵s̸e̷ ̶C̴i̸t̴y̴

It might not matter to everyone, but it matters to me. Every licensed controller I sell in my Signature Collection still comes with a hand signed authenticity card! This is tedious - signing thousands of cards - but I can’t bring myself to start printing my name on them.

@cptnalex.cptnalex.com thanks for designing these #ExtraLife controllers! I love it!

This feels like lost media. Does anyone remember - or have - this Official Frontier Battle Pass? #Pokemon

My toxic trait is continuing to buy new games despite having an enormous and overwhelming backlog of games

Finally got back into my BlueSky account after being logged out for 24 hours. Having your own server as opposed to a BlueSky handle makes logging back on a nightmare.

Someone took this shot of my controllers at MEGACON and it’s 🔥

New joy-con designs, who dis?

Found a friend at MEGACON

I still think about these words from Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor

Just gonna leave this right here ⬇️

Oh we’re so cooked… Unqualified SecDef stripping former Joint Chiefs of Staff of their security detail and removing their legacy from the military hallways. Super normal. Suuuuuper duper normal. Really normal stuff here. Nothing to fear at all 🥲

I have lived and will die by this quote and it is the only thing that keeps me fighting for this dysfunctional country: “Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something WRONG, is something RIGHT. […] We stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.”

Garage sales are so funny because what do you mean this old lady just kept her kids pajamas from 25 years ago (of course I bought them)

Sunsets at my warehouse are pretty Sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and appreciate the natural beauty of the world when everything else seems to be going wrong

BlueSky domains…updated! Personal account (this one) is now: @cptnalex.cptnalex.com While the business account is @cptnalex.com

Hey! Going to make a conscious effort to use BlueSky from now on instead of that other place full of not seas. Please make sure to follow @cptnalexdesigns.bsky.social - as this account is primarily for personal posting, and that is strictly for business updates!

Very excited about my Starfleet jacket I got for my birthday 🤩🤩🤩

The world is awful but at least today is my birthday 🎉🎂🥳🎈

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

My partners at @amongus.innersloth.com sent me a holiday package and I nearly exploded with joy upon opening it! 😭 Thank you for being such a positive force in the gaming community. The teams at @innersloth.com & @dualwieldstudio.bsky.social are truly class acts, an absolute pleasure to work with!

My Splatoon amiibo collection is displayed on top of my Switch Game cabinet. Never did I expect to outgrow this little space. The amount of Splatoon amiibo is incredible!

I’m on vacation until further notice, but here’s what it would look like if the protagonist of Legends Arceus dropped into Hisui with a Switch Lite instead of a cell phone #pokemon #gamers

I still store my Switch games like this btw Sorry if this stressed anybody out 🫣

Look at this super cute gift package @atari.com sent me. I never played Roller Coaster Tycoon but I have to try it out soon. Also sweet Nintendo Switch Pro controller by @cptnalex.bsky.social. I love it! ❤️💛🩵

Hi BlueSky! I don’t really know how the algorithm works here, but would love to rebuild my following here from the bird app. I’m (primarily) a custom controller artist, and the only company in the US with licensed custom controllers for some of the biggest games Here’s one I did for fun!

Ecstatic to be providing Extra Life with the gifts for their top tier donors! These controllers are some of my favorites!

Apparently there are Wii guns with laser sights?!?! Who is this for 😭

You know that annoying phrase your parents would say growing up “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink!” The older I get and the more interactions I have in my life…it really resonates. You can lead people right to success but you can’t force them to accept it.

The biggest piece of life or career advice I can give to anyone is to have the audacity to ask for what you deserve. Over the course of the last two years Ive gone from making fanart to holding licensing rights to one of the biggest video game characters in history. Demand to be taken seriously.

And when I show up to the Mario Kart tournament wearing this vintage 2006 fit, then what???

Just pulled this relic from a closet. (She yellowed from the fluorescent lights in the closet)

A controller you can really dig your claws into *snikt*

Throwback to DreamHack Atlanta and these awesome rug mirrors from @flabbermouse.bsky.social !

Hello BlueSky #Gamers ! Truly still figuring out how to use this app, but I’m here! For those of you just discovering me - I own a video game merchandise design company that specializes in game controllers - but we’ve got a slew of other cool things in the works right now!
