    You killed it, man.

    I've been so back and forth on one of these and I just recently had the opportunity to slow cook some ribs and was dying for something else to cook with.

    Incredibly generous, thank you sir.

    We get a lot of use out of our Instant Pot, especially for things like pulled pork and Asian-style boneless ribs, so when I saw you wanted one, it was a simple pick. I hope you enjoy it.

    OK I have not Listed!

    - I have Phillips Hue lights and more chroma ones would be cool! Specifically looking for something to backlight my monitor but in general they are slowly taking over the house. :)
    - I drink tequila. If you know of a good brand I'll try it!
    - I have been lusting after a bluetooth enabled xbox controller for some time
    - We apparently don't have a decent roasting pan? Something 14" or bigger with a removable rack and high sides.
    - I got a bluetooth enabled remote meat thermometer (Carbon) but it eats batteries while on idle in the drawer so it never works when I need it. I have no temp sensors for oven food at all and would love to replace this one. In theory it's really cool because bluetooth and an iPhone app but in practice it is :bigfrown:
    - I have a pile of art that we can't hang up because we have no frames, so like... a gift card to someplace that frames? Or sells frames? Woo idk here.
    - Iron Man is legit my actual hero.
    - Prince did a biography called The Beautiful Ones that I wanna read. Yes, Prince. Unapologetically.
    - Our house is mostly mid-mod in style with grey-blue and tan/cream accents. idk if that matters but it might?

    Games? Yes!
    - Fuser is the big game on my list of things I super want but won't end up buying because there's always something else to spend the money on instead.
    - AssCreed Valhalla is also on the list, though that is apparently not Steam? idk.
    - My steam name is spool32 and things on my wishlist are real and I like them! They are in order even!
    - I have an EA subscription, so if it's available on EA Access I already have it.


    - Clothes I think I'd prefer not!
    - nsfw things nah.
    - Also we don't have a lot of places for like, objects. We display only a few things and don't have shelves for more. Figurines or other objects like that are not on the list right now!

    I’ve received an Amazon wrapped gift thing. The card simply says “Enjoy your gift”. Is this from my Santa here? If so, I’ll commence the opening. Let me know one way or another, please!

    So I’ve been informed that the package was from my Santa, thank you! And there’s possibly another in my mailbox from today, either that or I have another mysterious package for myself. I probably won’t get to retrieve that until tomorrow but it is safe where it’s at so no worries there. I’ll commence the opening tomorrow then! Yay!

    For my Santee, package number 1 is en route. Package number 2: soon.

    That would be me. :) I had a note written about "While we are out partying, you are studying the blade", but I guess that didn't go through. Merry Christmas, and enjoy your 1000-folded samurai steel!

    There's one more thing coming, but it will be a bit more obvious as a Christmas-themed gift.

    Well, none of the packages at my mailbox was of the unexpected variety from yesterday! Maybe later today will be another? I don't know. Annnnnnywayyyys. I've opened the package I did get on Sunday (which is a rare occurrence in these parts!) and am pleased to inform you all of extreme classiness inbound(sorry about wretched image rotation, I'm running out of time here though):

    I hope it doesn’t cause distress, as it was supposed to be their holiday fortune cookie bag, with holiday-themed fortunes. It’s a local Oakland business, so I thought you would get a kick out of it.

    I have a couple items ready to get shipped and might buy the other thing on Amazon I dunno. I have to recalculate weight and mass distribution for launch but I think my trebuchet should work.

    Also Dear Santa: my apartment complex is kind of a zoo and there's the potential for any package coming my way to show up in a bunch of different spots, so if you're tracking your delivery and it says it's arrived, my be worth sending me a message to look for it so I don't miss it.

    So I came home from a day of shopping for both family and Santee today and I found this on the porch!
    PmGbFjqh.jpg

    Which is an awesome gift! Very excited to put my feet up and crack into some good sci-fi as Christmas and the New Year rolls around. I had heard of the one:
    While the peninsular Russian province of Kamchatka is not exactly in Sarah Palin's sightline, its far, far Eastern and Northern coordinates make it more like Nome than Moscow. Rife with wildlife, volcanoes, and treacherous topography, it's also almost inaccessible, with no major roads connecting it to the rest of Russia — because it was a closed military zone until 1989.
    yes I am here for all of this, STALKER

    The lifting straps are perfect -- I've mentioned in [chat] that I've been getting back into the gym and that's involved learning a bit with deadlift grips and so this was way thoughtful!

    Another box!

    Oh

    Ohhhh no

    sUnqJu3h.jpg

    These are: 1) altogether too much and a hugely generous and surprising Christmas gift, thank you so much!

    2) totally dope and I've already listened to some RTJ through my phone, and used the USB connector to hook into my desktop to try some gaming on them and they're perfect for both. They're replacing a $20 set of earbuds for gym, and an increasingly beat-up wired headset for gaming.

    I'm a bit red-faced sitting here typing this - thank you again, and I'm looking forward to spoiling Santees this year and in following years.

    Happy Christmas, friend :biggrin: @Tav

    you're very welcome!

    there's one more very small package winging its way to you (amazon says it should be at yours by either 9pm tonight or by the 8th so 🤷) that was supposed to ship with everything else but Bezos had other ideas. If you open it and wonder wtf, it was supposed to ship with the little note :P

    i'm absolutely delighted you liked everything, merry Christmas my dude!

    Woo! Box arrived!! Look what is in this enormous package!
    vn8kjZ7l.jpg

    Objects for Belasco! She does a lot of meditative coloring and the new pencils are a welcome addition!
    Also bath explosions extremely useful. There's a lot of "attempting to try and de-stress" going on around here and that is top of the list.

    Also meat thermometer! Reliable, pointy, scientific.
    Also XBOX controller wooo good lord this thing is nice. The new style is excellent. It's never been so comfortable to die in an X-Wing fighter.

    But why was box so big?
    eyr6Y63l.jpg

    Man this roaster is really really good. The rack has that angle underneath, it's really solid. Perfect!

    Then a second box arrived a day later!
    4ob9OW3l.jpg

    It's not super clear from the photos, but this is a Phillips Hue lightstrip and an extension, and I am extremely excited for it! Sitting at my monitor for 14-16 hours a day is wrecking my eyes and the makeshift "shove a USB light behind the thing" already helps so I know this is going to be awesome. Also they sync color patterns with games so I can like, turn the room red when I die in XWING.


    Thank you @Atomika from both of us, these are all super cool!
