What did Santa Claus bring you?

One of the things was a neck chain. I keep getting neck chains. Maybe wear them all at once? I'll soon look like Mr T at this rate.

I got a bunch of video games and COVID. Also it's surprising to see how many people on this forum have hobbies other than video games. It's hard enough for me to find time to play games with work, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and doing dad and husband stuff.
 
I posted in another thread, but on Christmas Eve someone gifted me Dragon Age the Veilguard.

I got a text from my grown up kids. Christmas feels different now they're no longer visting their old man. I didn't even get any socks or boxers this year. Shame, because i'm at that age where I welcome them!
I had a conversation with my granddaughter (14 now) about knowing that we only have a few more of these Christmas days together before I get the "normal" grandparent visit. She thought I was sad and replied that she loves me more than that. I explained to her that she is going to be busy with life and the best thing for me is getting to watch her go out and conquer her world.

I get the socks and boxers thing. I was really hoping for some this year. :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Have another DD that we have put thousands of rounds through with no issues (great guns) but have had jams with an albeit cheaper S&W Sport 3 and a Ruger

I have a couple of the m&p sports that I got when they were $450ish. They’re good plinking guns but I wouldn’t want them for defense. The Colt LE6920:used to be my favorite AR but they priced themselves into the upper mid range tier. If you have a cannulas in your area check out the gun library. I got a Daniel Defense M4V1 for $1100 out the door last year and from what I could tell it was never shot.
 
I got my girl volumes 1-8 of Frieren. She got me a Fauna plushie, stickers and general hololive stuff.
Watched the first episode of Frieren after I saw some people hyping it up. Was the most boring thing imaginable, felt slow and the characters weren't interesting at that point in time at least (except for maybe the lead character). Everyone just felt really dry and not in a interesting sort of way like Ghost in the shell 1995 or 2001 Space Odyssey.

I don't ever have this problem with anime except with .hack when I was a kid but that was different because I didn't get to tune in to the 1st episode just random ones that aired.

I don’t really get anything gaming related and presents but I still do nice gifts.

It’s ironic because the sports are what we started with and likely have shot the most overall

I have mentioned this before here but I guess I am one of those doomsday people but we have 4 sports in the bunker that are all totally identical so we can drop one if ever needed and not have to “learn” what gun we picked up

The pistols down there are all identical as well, her favorite gun all Hellcats
 
My nephew got ps5 slim with Astro bot. he is 10yo. Talk about great combination.
I got lego endurance... last month from my wife :D

edit: Lol I also got nother dualsense to his younger brother so they don't fight over the controller. The little fuck got sterling silver dualsense from me. NICE.
And as for ps5 slim - I even included THE STAND. The 10yo little asshole knows the value of the stand. He looked at me with respect haha

You're too good of an unkle Rof, if it were my nephews, I'd have regaled them with a couple of slaps only little fuckers that they are

Santa brought me two sons that are married that I still believe are hell of gay. I make them walk under the gaydar every time they enter the house ( it’s a piece of paper with gaydar written on it and I sound my phone alarm when they come through).

A wife that nags me when I’m in the middle
Of a hike a 0530 to remind me to be there for Christmas morning with the grandkids.

All in all it turned out good, Santa and my wife got me some dumbass Jetski seadoo thingy you can fish from or something. She doesn’t know this, I’ll never use it. Jokes on her.

Merry Christmas, ladies and gents.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Put a strap on it and to carry it around everywhere you go. Especially to work on January 4th or whenever you're back.
I'm back tomorrow 🤣
Christmas day is the only day we get off
But that's a good idea 👍

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Santa brought me a Retroid Pocket 5 handheld emulation system. I've been playing around with it all day, it's such a lovely device! I installed the Beacon launcher and have also set it up with a few games from the Play Store.

Screen is so bright... it threw off the white balance in this photo. It really is a sight to behold.

Not a damn thing. I'm honestly feeling like Scrooge this year more than ever. Worked last night on xmas eve, and working tonight on xmas day. Dad with vascular dementia, and a hospice nurse who almost killed him a couple weeks ago.
 
Gaming related I was gifted a copy of CP2077, glad I didn't pull the trigger on that one in the last GOG sale.

I'll get to that after I give Indiana Jones a go.
