This is the last thing I'm buying for myself before Christmastime... But I stand by this one.
special edition covers of the d&d holiday gift set that comes out Friday
edit: sorry was on my phone didn't realize the vertical picture posted absurdly large so i cut that one out
I don't even play D&D (I'm in the process of learning it because it does sound awesome) but these look amazing. What are these holiday sets though? Custom covers that they do around Christmas or something?
This doesn't really have anything to do with SS. I'm just excited and wanted to share.
Not to overrun the Santa thread with Zelda talk, but I love Zelda. Did you beat Majoras Mask either? What about Breath of the Wild? Did you try out Hyrule Warriors?
I do have MM for the 3DS, but haven't started yet. That might be soon.
I also have Hyrule Warriors and Breath of the Wild for my switch and they are both amazing and I'm sure I will continue to put hours into them until it's some crazy number.

So those three books are called the core books, but they always sold them separately. they also only started doing these special covers partway through their book releases for this edition of the game, so the core books haven't gotten a special edition cover and they haven't been bundled together (it also comes with a dungeon master screen with similar art) before. There's a normal bundle with the standard art which i assume is just available now going forward, but there's also these versions that are exclusive to gaming stores (though not otherwise more expensive than the regular if you're looking for gifts!) and these are gorgeous. I haven't even really played a tabletop rpg since college, but the combination of working at a game store for the last few months and a lot of friends who do play has made me interested enough to jump on these

FYI, sometimes Amazon just slaps a sticker on a box and sends it. We're buying our son a Nerf gun and they just put a sticker on the Nerf box and sent it through the mail. I guess they really want you to spend the extra $ for a gift wrap.

I dunno, that sounds like a great way to reduce waste (why recycle a box you didn't need to use to begin with?). It would also keep shipping costs down, but I feel like they're a company that doesn't exactly worry about that the way the rest of us do.
Honestly, I kind of prefer getting boxes. Then again, I have cats who love to sit in them and a niece who looks at a nice, big cardboard box and thinks "car" or "rocketship" and breaks out her markers to customize it.
Is there a way to see what books someone owns on Kindle?
I don't think there is. I just looked up myself while in incognito mode and the only thing I could find was my wishlist. Seems like you'd have to ask through proxy or whatnot. Or just take a risk and send it as a gift so if they do have it then they could gift it further.
Rich on Beer - I talk about drinking beer. You read about it.
I really wish I could get into books. I really do. I have tried so many times but they just don't hold my attention like I want them to.
Do audio books work for you? You still get the stories but in, maybe, a more palatable format.
That's how I consume most of my books. I only have a 5 minute commute to work, but I can listen to snippets here and there and it's gotten me through maybe a dozen or more books the past few years.

If someone has linked their Amazon account with Goodreads and has a public profile, their Kindle purchases are automatically added to it? I think? Maybe?
I got a package from Amazon! I'm assuming it's from my Santa since I wasn't expecting anything else. I won't be able to open it until later today, though, so we'll see!

They aren't too bad. I was listening to Ready Player One in audio form for a while but still didn't finish it.
To be fair, that may not be the fault of the format on that one
I know that lots of people hate the book but I was definitely enjoying it. I just kind of stopped. I used to lay down in bed early to listen to it but then I changed jobs and spent more of my free time working. I wish I could work and listen to them at the same time, but I'm a software developer. It just doesn't work lol
Edit: I definitely forgot that book is very divisive lol

Reminds me, I got RPO last Christmas from cousins but haven't got around to actually read it. Let's see how it goes.
Up early to go have breakfast today...and I have been assailed with a top secret Santa code!
AKA- I'm super pumped to have a bunch of Blizzard balance! This means I can afford to pick up the year-long boost in Heroes of the Storm, which I was really wanting to do this year.
THANK YOU SANTA!
Woke up this morning to find this in my inbox. I played Shovel Knight on the 3DS and loved it. Always wanted to get all the DLC stuff, but you know how it goes. Since it's been so long, I could easily restart the whole game and have it feel fresh.
Thanks Secret Santa! Care to reveal yourself yet or are you going to remain mysterious for a bit longer?

Spyro is pure joy. Much like Kirby, you can't be in a bad mood and play that game. Kirby, Stardew Valley, and now Spyro are my go tos for those "I just want to forget I'm an adult right now" days.

I've been surprised at how well the games have held up. I had really fond memories of those games from when I was a kid, but coming at them now, they still play really well. The whole flow of seeing gems up on a ledge or something you can't get to and looking for a way to come back to it throughout the level feels really good.
Santa, this gift is amazing! I've already read about a quarter of it--I'm taking my time. Thanks for such a great present!
They were just pimping that on the Giant Beastcast! Sounded pretty extensive.
It's got a TON of stuff I've never heard of in there. Even some V-Tech consoles.

Just a heads up if you have a Canadian Santee - Canada Post is definitely still doing rotating strikes and it'll probably impact any delivery times here. This is as much a "try not to go for something with a tight deadline" warning as it is an "If it takes longer than you're expecting for something to arrive, don't start to worry immediately" reassurance.
Just a note for my Santa. I just picked up a new year of PS Plus and I'm going to get God of War. If I pick up any other games, I'll post here about it. Also I just updated my amazon wishlist, but it's all kind of expensive stuff since I couldn't think of much of anything.

Yeah I've kind of been on a Zelda kick.

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?

I always love seeing the usual suspects pop up every year in terms of gifts given.

If the worst happens and you do end up gifting the recipient a Kindle book they own, it's pretty straightforward for them to exchange it for a gift card. You can refund books you gifted others, but only if you gifted more than one, apparently? Strange.

Finally had time to open my gift!
Wild Package Arrives!
My cats showed little interest but Sam liked it!
Here's the gift note
It's a book!
This book is awesome! It's basically a photo history of every game console ever.
Here's some random pages.
