It's not the first day of Christmas, but that means naught to me, so how about some Steam games for free? :whistle:
I have no idea what to do for my Secret Santee at this point, but that doesn't mean I still don't want to start up with the Christmas cheer, so I decided to do a little something for the whole forum to kick things off. I think you can all see where I'm going with this. I'll be using Steamgifts because it's simple and it can handle all the contest-ing for me, but I'm letting you know in advance that some will not be Steam keys, but Origin GoG, or Desura keys. I have already cleared it with Hypatia, as long as I'm letting you guys know that the key is for some other thing, I can use Steamgifts here for the sake of simplicity.
Went to buy the holiday bullshit for my santee, see that he had already purchased it for himself and it blocked me from purchasing for that address. Well played, santee.

hand tipped santa!
(but seriously if it's still available and you like cards against humanity, go sign up for Holiday Bullshit. Last year was amazing)
Santee, I think I found something pretty cool based on the one thing that came up when I googled your name. Hopefully there aren't others in your area with the same name, or you're going to be so confused.
edit: and on further inspection I got another email that may have some sort of code thing at the bottom. Or it's a weird signature.

Ooh, puzzles!
My first reaction was Morse code, but no dashes. Binary? 0110011001010101110110111
Edit: Getting malformed in the converter though.
25 digits is a weird length for binary. It doesn't break into 7 or 8 bit ascii.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
It's tough because the thing I got my Santee is something I think he or she might get for themselves. But I can't ask them because that'll spoil it.
Hey Santee, I'm sending you mind thoughts to say "Hey, don't buy that thing for yourself. Or maybe do, but you'll now have two instead of one"
If my santa has this problem, you have my wife's contact details, just let her know and she'll take care of things.

Well tonight I was going to be getting my Santee's gifts all wrapped up and ready to go.
Instead, USPS decided to not deliver my mail yesterday. But to pretend they did so anyways. So tomorrow I get to go hunt down where my packages are. Exciting!
It just occurred to me that I told my Santa to ship to my wife's work address. . .
It is more secure than our home we live at for receiving packages. I think I just gave them a way to contact my wife, without thinking about it.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
santee - I think I have stuff in order. I still need to visit a local [redacted] store to look for some stuff for you, but I know exactly what I'm looking for. Also I have to put together a [redacted] [redacted] as well as one [redacted] partially ready for you.
shipping closer to December.

On the second day of not Christmas my true love gave to me, two more Steam games for free. :whistle:

I tried morse but couldn't figure out really how to convert it. All the morse translators want you to break it up by word and that's one long string. Binary I thought about but it has 3 black dots touching. Didn't consider white=0 and black=1 because I was dumb and tired. And also it doesn't work apparently. Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm. I like this kinda stuff. If it IS a puzzle and it's a work safe one maybe I can puzzle some students with it. Because I'm certainly confused. And mildly terrified.

If it's binary it's odd it starts with 0
Edit: So when editing the text, the colors invert. I guess that's due to the way the board colors are? Maybe it's the other way around? (on mobile and I keep losing my place, can do it later when on laptop if someone doesn't by then.)

Could it be a bar code? I mean if you turn the dots into vertical lines, that might lead somewhere.

I devoutly hope my Santa doesn't do anything like like this for me. All it would do would frustrate me. I can understand why some of ya'll love it but I don't share the enthusiasm.

Yeah, not that I don't enjoy a good puzzle, but I just don't have the time these days. I'd end up just giving up or paying the CIA to figure it out for me.
The one puzzle I do enjoy is figuring out who my Santa is every year, based on clues throughout the thread. I've been getting better at it each year!

perhaps it is a section of an ascii image? next messages might contain more snips
Hmm, looks like the second half of my Santee's gift is shipping ahead of the first, which still hasn't processed yet. That's going to make the message inside a bit off.

By the by, if one of you premature gift-givers are my Santa, I'm headed to England for a week starting tonight, so if you don't hear anything right away, don't worry about it.

1001100110101010001001000 is the inverted binary from earlier. I realized it's the difference between mobile (blue background and white text) and desktop (white background and black text). When I googled it the first result was "Integer Number 20141128". So that's something.
I assume most things are the numbers from lost, because I'm bad at puzzles, and also I never really watched lost more than sporadically
They're not the numbers from lost.

Santa, if this is your doing, so I can be reunited with it come Christmas day in a true Christmas miracle, kudos. Kudos.
Stalk for family contacts? Last year I tried reaching out to santees fiance for some potential gift collaboration
