Okay, I finished my shift, so on with the pictures. As a preface, I'm friends with Rankenphile and his wife. We don't get to hang out nearly enough lately though. Last night I was messaged by Rankenphile's wife about dropping something off on her way north to see her family. I figured it was a small Christmas gift as we sometimes get each other weird little gifts if we see something dumb/weird. My main clue that this was probably Satans-related was that she said she got my address from Rank and I didn't remember giving it out. Then there was a pet emergency at with her family and instead of midnight she dropped it off at 1:30am. I was a gracious (I hope) zombie and brought the box upstairs for opening after sleep and probably a few hours of working from home.
Buchi had to inspect the box of course.
Around noon I took a break and got the box ready to open. Lilith and Buchi were on the bed too.
Satans is always fun, but even moreso when you know the person in real life.
Japanese Kit Kats! Caramel Pudding and Chestnut Flavors! Plus Shaq Fu per tradition.
Oscar's Hot Night Out! A game created with help from Knob! I'm looking forward to playing this.
Cat Treats! I'm sure most of the cats will devour these. They aren't really picky eaters.
Munji now jumped up to "assist"
Buchi is looking a bit overwhelmed by gifts.
Another copy of Shaq Fu. Thankfully I haven't sent my Secret Satan gift yet so the love can be shared.
City of Lost Children. Munji says "one approves."
Legend of Zelda - Link Between Worlds. I've heard very good things about this game and I'll get time to try it out over Christmas.
Art by Rankenphile! I remember seeing when this was created and this is very cool!
5th Edition Dungeon and Dragon Handbook! I am old and slow to check out new editions, probably due to the immense amout of money I spent on 2nd edition. I will always love RPG books and I will read the hell out of this.
He even put bookmarks in it for ease of use! That makes it so much better!
Thank you so much! This is a great haul! My girlfriend didn't even believe it at first.
Here's the sock picture that I managed to forget. Munji loves "helping".
Shit I'm stealing that post-it idea for the handbook, that's gold
I did it to my own PHB years ago and it made such a difference, especially for looking up spells and finding rules for things like conditions, that I vowed to provide that service to anyone I ever give a PHB to in the future (Slimes and my niece being the two so far).

I have that exact same model.
It’s really danged good for an entry level 3D printer.
One thing I found helped was getting a piece of glass from a picture frame, cutting it to size and clipping it to the bed to provide a perfectly level printing surface as the aluminum will warp over time. It requires printing a spacer for the calibration switch on the z axis (look on thingiverse) but it’s a really simple upgrade.
You’ll want to learn how to calibrate it well but it’s an easy process — basically if you can slip a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed at each corner with some friction but not too much, you’re good to go.
There’s a really good subreddit for monoprice select mini owners that is full of troubleshooting advice. Highly worth checking it out.

Also you can print via usb or WiFi (although I don’t think that model has WiFi out of the box) but you’re better off using the micro sd card so you can let it run autonomously without worrying about interrupting it if you use your computer in the middle of a 20-hour print

Well, steam is being dumb. Apparently, the concept of “give me the option to pay a higher price in the event of regional price differences” is too complex for them, and just won’t let it through.
[due to regional price differences, the gift you are trying to send cannot be sent to the recipient’s region]
The hell?
Edit, I took a couple things off and that seemed to do it, will take a second pass to figure out which one(s) weren’t okay
Almost deleted the tracking email for the first gift because they used my Satanee's name instead of mine. Thought it was one of those you have a package scams.

OMG Nullzone (I was hoping it was you )
Nullzone is my satan and is the one who sent me the books and today cookies and socks and I do have pictures from the cookies and socks but I'd rather do a great many things than resize them on my phone!
So I'll do that when I get back to Vegas and my PC. Which happens tomorrow night. You mentioned in the card there was something else, if it comes here I can probably convince my parents to send it on unless it's more cookies, in which case they may not all get to me.
Thank you
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
I was able to pick up a mysterious package today! It originally tried to reach it's way to me on Friday but I kinda goofed by not having anyone home at the time. Funnily enough my parents were having wine delivered by the same company at the same time so my dad picked up both packages yesterday. After a trip to my folk's place and a quick drive back to my apartment the de-packaging begins! What's in the box!?
Oh boy! Smaller, individually numbered boxes!
I may have assumed so from the marking on the shipping box (Contains: Alcohol) but it's a bevy of bottles! And a note?
What does it say?
Now, understand that I am VERY BAD at both a) following written instructions and b) being patient but I'm going to try my hardest to do what the note says. Once December 14th rolls around I'm going to crack one of those precious little guys open and share with you the Beer of the Day each day until the 12 Days of Beermas are complete (and I'll edit this post to include those pictures and comments at it's conclusion). After rearranging my fridge and eating some left overs:
And thus, the waiting game begins. This is an amazing gift, my As-Of-This-Moment Anonymous Satan! Thank you very much!

Nah, it'll go to your proper address, imps gave me your travel timeline
I hope you like everything! Did the cookies arrive ok?
Completely unrelated to this thread, does anyone have recommendations for shipping from US to Canada? I vaguely remember hearing somethign about a strike or backlog or something up north.

there's a postal strike that was just ended
a lot of packages that were ordered will be dalyed until after christmas because of the backlog

it's a strike by Canada Post workers.
If you send packages by USPS, after it crosses the border it'll go through Canada Post and be delayed.
If you ship using UPS or FedEx, or even though Amazon.ca there won't be any delays.

They did. And now they are gone. I had a few on the plane too. I have eaten waaaaay too many cookies over the past 48 hours. Waaaaaaaaay too many cookies. >> That pilot was either drunk or bonkers, so it was like better eat them NOW... The socks are also very pretty but the cookies stole the show.

As for my Satanee
You've received NOTHING. Because I haven't sent anything.
I finally have a full two days off this weekend so expect something to be headed your way soon.
The fourth package has arrived! It is labeled as the first, so you know - time is an illusion and construct, etc, etc.
I got it when I got in late last night and will have pictures posted tomorrow, as I am once again no longer at home. Regardless: Your minions have done their dark works well.

Inspiration has finally struck, I knew I'd get there in the end
It's come out quite a bit different from my usual approach to satans, but hopefully it comes together

Who here wraps presents sitting at a table vs who does it sitting on the floor? Just occurred to me that I have wrapped every gift I've ever wrapped sitting on the carpet.

AND NOW THE CONCLUSION:
A box showed up and it is GIGANTIC!
Inside - a gift bag! Part 1 of 3 at last!
And inside that - HOLY SHIT
A 3D printer! This is going to be so useful for prototyping!
Also in the original boxes - filaments! In black and white!
Thank you so much @Kadith ! Merry Satans to you!
Ummmm.
This was not what we agreed on!

Suspicion validated, it appears to be everything from my Gesswein wishlist.
It is, indeed! Praise Satan in [city name redacted]!
(There’s no forum name attached so I’m not going to use their irl name here, but thank you!)

It’s a Canada based jeweller supply store.
it's a strike by Canada Post workers.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
You mad man!
I see now that you're trying to kill me in the best way possible.
Well it won't work!
at least I will finally be able to read all of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries before I go!

...because inside was a product titled UNICORN SNOT.
It's a clear liquid lip gloss along with several pots of loose glitter powder in different colors. Gonna get ALL bedazzled up in this biz.
Many thanks, Satan!
