I'm under the weather today; this lootcrate was well timed!
Thank you @Kendrik! Happy Thanksgiving/Christmas/Holidays/Decemberween!
Awesome! I was a bit annoyed I couldn't gift the video game crate, but it looks like this one still hit the mark pretty well. I have but one more question: Renegade or Paragon?

I play my Mass Effect the same way I look for my socks: "Where has the other paragon?"
(Except for shooting that one monologuing villian. I will renegade that choice every time).
Ok amazon decided to split my package and deliver it tomorrow and on Monday in the wrong order. Confusion will probably ensue as the gift cards are just on the Monday package and the the Sunday.
What series is that Doctor Strange from and do they make other figures?
There are others, but the Doctor Strange one was a Lootcrate exclusive.
A lot of them start off like that, but if you give it a few months, they release it to the public or you can find them for comparable prices on ebay. I got the Deadpool one that was also a lootcrate exclusive through Amazon just the other day.
@theoriginalz sent me the LucasArts bundle. I have indiana jones installed and expect to not be able to finish it due to terrible puzzles of the adventure era. Thank you.

If you ever get stuck. Ping me. I can play those games blindfolded.
Woke up this morning to a box on my porch. Didn't have time to open it but will update once I get home. I assume was from Santa as I haven't ordered anything recently.
Dear Santa: I want to let you know that I received your email, but that my wife and I both became seriously ill over Thanksgiving break and are still recovering. So give me a few days to get back on my feet and I will attempt to decipher your message!

Started it this morning. Ah, the SCUMM interface. I have to remember how to play those games again.

So after arriving home to the news that my sister-in-law's car died and we would probably need to assist financially, I was also greeted with the news that a package had arrived. I hadn't ordered anything recently, so that could only mean one thing - I had been gifted. And it's a very pretty gift:
I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, so this is right up my alley. Now I just need to figure out where they're going. Thanks Santa! Your proxy message indicated I'd have something custom and something from overseas, so this is one half down. I'm anxiously awaiting the second!

Ooooh, I love the look of those.
We have a few NASA posters up on the wall in the basement that have a similar look. Linky
I'm sure this isn't saying too much as we have many Santas and Santees residing in our poutine loving neighbors to the North but I am really fricking glad that I don't have to regularly depend on Canadian shipping. Watching my package not reach my Santee for days now has been beyond frustrating.

Where is it "stuck"? Generally out postal system is actually pretty good besides its inability to effectively handle a certain class of mail (padded envelopes, which seem to disappear or arrive in tatters perhaps 20-25% of the time).
It appeared in the system on Monday with expected delivery yesterday. Then, it updated to be expected today, now it's moved to tomorrow and truthfully it looks like I could have walked the item from the starting location to my Santee's address.
Hopefully tomorrow will truly be the day it gets delivered.

My 4 year old boy is going to flip his shit today when he gets home from school and gets to play it!
Sorry for the lack of pre-opened gift, but 2 packages came in the mail, both were roughly the same size and feel, and from Amazon. One was a game for one of my kids, the other was
From my Santa!!!
It is installed, and now I'm just trying to find the time to play it tonight.
My santee lives in the city next to mine, I could hand deliver my gifts
But that would be beyond weird so, yeah
Didn't someone dump a garbage bag full of presents on someone's porch at one point? I swear I remember this being a thing...
I so want to do this one year. As I live in Seattle, I know there are other locals here. Maybe one year. It might be more fun if I could show up at your door step in another country in a santa outfit.
The closest Santa/Santee thing I've ever had was a Santa who lived across the river in Jersey. I never did end up making it out there to patronize their bakery/say hello.
I'll spend some time in the morning picking the colors apart to find the RGB values in assorted formats.
But that's tomorrow's problems, for tomorrow's me.
Thanks alot, past me. You lazy sod. Should have known I couldn't count on me when I was you.
Edit: Just got an email from Riddler Santa
no time, so I will just tell you. top leading square is wrong.
I thought it might be, but couldn't check cause I was in hurry.
R: 255
G: 0
B: 0
So, I haven't been puzzling as hard or as diligently as I should have been (I blame overeating and my ridiculous lack of self control to prevent overeating), and Riddler Santa is grown angry (or impatient) with my lack of progress.
I haven't gotten any word yet this week on any progress.
Hum, a little hint. All right, you are looking for a word. One might guess the word before you know how you should get the word.
What you do with the word should be obvious.
So obvusly, you need to figure out what the alphabet is.
Riddle Santa
I notice that the word "obviously" appears to be missing an I and an O, I doubt that was coincidence.
Since those look a lot like 1 and 0, I'm guessing Binary's coming back to play in this puzzle like it did the last.
Just a guess here, but the algorithm to convert from top color to bottom color is it as simple as switching 1s for 0s and the other way round? 11111111 (FF) becomes 00000000 (00).
It doesn't work perfectly with the values I got, but I had my dropper sample set to 5x5 instead of 1x1 pixels, so some of the erroneous values could have been me being sloppy.
Edit: The word... Is it "Bird"? I have it on good authority that Bird is the word.

I mean, I enjoyed it. It's a great film in the same way that Kung Fury is a great film.
I play my Mass Effect the same way I look for my socks: "Where has the other paragon?"

Thanks Santa! I've no idea what you did but I'm giving you credit for this!

There are others, but the Doctor Strange one was a Lootcrate exclusive.
In addition to the awesome Steam gifts, two packages arrived today (well, technically 8 arrived but two were from my Santa)!
Gemma must investigate...
A new book, board game and Lego Dimension kit! I didn't have any of them, despite picking up Sushi Go many, many times.
Thanks Santa! Now reveal yourself!

It was me! I'm glad I didn't get you any repeats. Pictures of the game shelf were very useful.
Merry Christmas!

I just got home and I'll do a better post, be more thankful later but my kid needs pizza.
Thank you so much mysterious benefactor. Sorry I've been MIA, New job and had to replace my car and find a new apartment. it's been hard.
Anyways, I use miniatures as characters for my DnD campaign.
Ooooh, I love the look of those.

I should really pull my finger out and get my stalking into high gear. It's been a busy old time in the Jam household recently.

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
Hopefully tomorrow will truly be the day it gets delivered.
But that would be beyond weird so, yeah
What? That's craziness! Santa/Santee meet ups are the best.
Usually made better by vans, and ski masks.
See: aforementioned SAW Christmas scenario.
Me, I'm not driving my gift over because my basement pit is already occupied.
Sounds like someone needs a new basement pit. Why limit yourself to just one?
