MERRY CHRISTMAS /v/! What did you get on this special day?
>vacuum
>emergency car kit
>clothes/shoes
>random books
>bath pouf and shaving razors
>>321404302
Nothing because I had to go into the office and (I'm still here) because I need to finish up some stuff by the end of the year.
A sweater, I needed one so I'm happy.
>>321405076
Florida here.
Please send winter. It's 81 degrees right now
It makes me feel like a shit for feeling this way but there's been a lot more in the way of dud gifts lately, it feels like. I guess it's just that my Christmases were nigh-perfect when I was real young so I'm a bit spoiled as far as gift quality goes
I got nice surprises like a fucking laptop (which is really surprising, I really played up the fact that while I was interested in one I wasn't really jonesing for one that badly and didn't need something that expensive,) the RAM I really needed, and a few nice comics- but then there's still like
>the BB-8 droid my sister and brother both showed heavy interest in but I got anyway because I'm seen as the "star wars kid" for some reason
>Was retarded enough to ask for generic winter clothes without any "throwbacks" because people have bought me Bob Dylan scarves and shit for years because I have a vague resemblance to him, ended up getting aperture science scarf/hat and gloves that I actually thought were cool until I looked closer and saw that there was a power symbol on the index finger
>A screw attack logo hoodie. I like Metroid and I've made that very clear, but this one feels kind of over the top. Felt bad about this one because my brother was like "hey look at this" after he bought it as a tease and I didn't catch on and didn't really show any interest
Nobody wants to get me Steam gift cards because they see it like giving me money, but holy shit, I love getting them. I always bold them. I used to ask for loads of games every year when I mainly console gamed but now that I'm mainly on PC, I ask for Steam cards and not much else as far as games but I never get them anymore.
pic related. its pretty good and i enjoy it a lot more than dream team shitters.
also amazon and steam giftcards. im pretty happy
Just some tools and clothes. I also bought myself titanfall deluxe edition for $5 on amazon. Feels good.
>>321404302
I got a $50 gift card, some clothes and boots so I'm happy. I spent the money on gifts for friends and I got myself Bard's Tale and Grim Dawn. I'm pretty happy with it all.
>>321405452
I mean people have fucking awful Christmases all the time- I can't really fathom getting stuff like a single sweater or something like that, but I guess it's just getting brought up in a fairly wealthy family with a frankly insane budget as far as holiday shopping goes really drives up your expectations. I remember half of the room was filled with gifts and they would almost all be stuff I was super excited about when me and my siblings were younger, it was nuts.
>>321404302
Everything I wanted sempai.
I'm dreading family dinner, should I go on ambien?
to like curb my nerves
>get each of my 10 co-workers in the office a nice $50 gift basket with wine, sausages, cheese, etc
And what did they get me and the rest of the department?
>5 gave nothing
>1 gave a candycane and card
>1 gave a $1 scratch off ticket
>1 gave some fucking shower gel
>1 gave a tequila sampler pack
>1 gave a hug which I count as a gift because she has huge tits
Fucking assholes
My mom gave me money to buy Fallout on PC.
My sister got pic related for me to play the game with.
I'll use it once in front of her, I couldn't tell her she dropped money on literal junk.
But yes, twas a good Christmas morn.
>>321406098
>Gifting your coworkers when they don't give a fuck about you
You fucked up, anon.
>>321406098
I'd have gotten you something in return, but you spent way too much
>>321406098
That's too much. Most people don't want to spend $50 for their own family, unless they've got lodsofemone, let alone a co-worker.
Where is the /ss/ thread, lads?
>>321406098
>500 dollars on co-workers
Jesus, man. You know, most people don't even use those gift baskets- they end up throwing half of the stuff out.
>>321406098
You dug your own hole, anon
ITT: A bunch of ungrateful shots complaining about their gifts.
Be fucking happy that you even have someone who cares enough about you to buy you gifts. So what if they're not great? The thought alone is the real gift you whining babies.
600€
Some clothing.
Leather luggage bag.
>>321405529
Thats neat anon.Looks like X-Mas just got comfy for you
I got from my parents lots of emone and right now I'm trying to plan what I'm gonna do with it. Will I just buy lots of cool clothes, or will I get that cool synthesizer I saw in a store and with the rest of the money get some cool clothes?
I'm also going to get some Steam Bucks. Up until how long are the sales up? I can't buy anything until next monday because all the stores are closed
I got a wallet and $20.
My wallet got stolen at a McDonalds, so I appreciate it.
>>321404302
>What did you get on this special day?
Beaten
My mom came back.And a sweater.
>>321404302
Cheap headphones and a shot glass
>not even old enough to drink
>>321405340
nyc here. its 70 degrees.
>>321407545
Damn. Is it cold anywhere?
My mom's husband got me a Finn toy. (Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens character)
>>321406098
uhh.. you do know your supposed to be humble and not expect stuff in return, right?
Ihop and Celebration Cinema gift cards, two tickets to Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions, and Super Mystery Dungeon.
Overall a really good haul.also an undermeme shirt because I wanted to own something to do with the game
>>321406098
Lel faggot
>>321407178
Well, they do it out of necessity. Getting gifts on Christmas isn't a kind act in itself because it's the default, they'd look like a cunt id they didn't get anything.
Honestly the best way to show that you really care is to get them a gift that isn't on their list that they wind up loving. That shows you know them and you actually care about them beyond filling a quota.Filling a quota isn't exactly unappreciated, though.
Continuing my post >>321407348
I'm actually more happy about what I gifted rather than what I got. I mean, I love the money and the gift my brother gave me (wich I didn't mention: A cool essay about the blonde leads in Hitchcocks Filmography) but what I was really excited for this christmas was the presents I wanted to give
I bought my father one of those cool, really slim pencil-like flashlights. Very "light"(no pun intended). A good gift for his line of job.
To my mother, I bought her a big fancy box of Lush products: Bath Salts, special body soaps and that stuff.
To my little brother, I bought him a cool Neff Digital Watch in nice colours.
THey all loved the gifts. I'm very happy.
>>321407536
>>not even old enough to drink
MOOOOOOOOOOOODS
>>321407585
Michigan fag here. It's snowed once, and it didn't even stay on the ground for more than a day.
>>321407617
True. I'm not mad at the quality of the gifts or lack thereof, I am upset with those that didn't give anything especially when half the department gave gifts.
>>321407703
not him, but
>have to be 21 to drink

yeah..
I got a 500GB SSD
Feels good

My boyfriend got me a $200 gift card. Kind of disappointed honestly. Gift cards literally have no thought behind them.

Probably gonna buy a new card, or just a bigger HDD. Running with an ancient 100GB backup disk.
Thanks mom.
>got my sister a prank gift and told her i couldn't find the thing she wanted
>watch her try to smile through the disappointment to be polite
>laugh at her silly ass as I hand her the real gift she actually wanted
The best gift I got this Christmas was being able to prank my sister.
Didn't get anything. I'm 2000 miles away from family, living alone.
>>321404302
Xenoblade Chronicles X!
Shoes
My roommate gave me the balls of steel edition of duke nukem forever with the sweet duke bust and duke poker set. Thanks bro.
>>321408745
Here's me. Thinking of (you).
Merry Christmas.
Hang in there.
Still waiting for all these fucks to wake up. I woke up at 4am which is petty normal for me on Christmas and I've been killing time ever since by watching movies and fapping to lolicon. I think at this rate, they probably won't be up until closer to noon.
MK8 Wii U, couple of books, and some clothes. All I really wanted. GG dad

A+ Lost Odyssey surprised the fuck out of me because they got it new. Also my mom got me a yugioh pack for fun and I pulled a $25 card. Not fucking bad.
>the order 1886
I got Fallout 4 and Arkam Knight are they fun at least?
>>321409281
Thanks bro. Merry Christmas to you too.
>>321408745

New 3ds xl

Sims 4
Majora 3ds
Couple of godzilla blu rays
A blu ray drive
A drawing tablet
And one of those cool candy cane tubes filled with rolo's
>>321409870
Arkham Knight is an okay vehicle combat game with the Arkham City combat system as a side attraction. Big issue I had with is that there were no REAL on-foot boss fights like city or even origins, it's all fighting mobs and then taking out the baddie with one punch or sometimes a boring tank battle. Fuck, Firefly's "boss fight" is "keep up with him as he shoots barely harming fire at you and press a single button to takedown him then repeat this several times as his missions are unlocked" because he always gets away. It doesn't feel cool, it feels like a stupid way to artificially extend content. I'm of the opinion that since Batman is all about the rogues, the least you can do is give them good fucking boss fights, you know? Let Batman slug it out with a guy toting a flamethrower instead of assuming that they've already seen it before and just want to get to the instant takedown. I want to play it, damn it.
We don't hand out gifts on christmas here, I got 200 bucks for my18thbirthday yesterday though.
>>321410481
I got a bottle of whisky and some underwear.
What are you, twelve?

>>321410593
Thank you for your detailed review I will adjust my standards accordingly before playing.
>>321409870
>>321410873
Oh, and Fallout 4 is basically just casualized Fallout 3/NV. If you love a more hardcore RPG you'll probably have problems with it, but if you're looking for a light-shootery sci-fi romp you'll probably enjoy it fine. One note for it, it's piss easy on anything below Survival later in the game, but if you crank it up to Survival, a fair bit of the weaopns become effectively pointless because they just do too little damage unless you get a good legendary variant. Fair warning.
If you got it on PC you NEED the mod that allows you to actually see what your dialogue is saying, too. Absolutely obligatory, makes the game objectively better.
>>321404302
Subscription to Indie Box
Clothes.
A deck box for mtg cards ( with my sister managing to get me fnm promos as well)

My parents are pretty supportive of my hobbies. I'm glad I could come home for a few days.
Parents sent me a black ops 3 lounge ware/pyjama set. And enough money to buy any Vidya I want for a while
>>321411241
Can you change the difficulty later in the game? What difficulty do you reccomend?
Who /socks/ here?
>>321411709
You can change later on, what I did was start on Survival, get frustrated by the intense bullet sponginess, casual out and switch to normal, and then switch to survival when I had a bunch of the generic damage boosting perks and good weapons.
>>321411521
Bo3 is actually prettyfun. I bet the servers are down now right?
Nothing because I'm an adult and will buy everything I want/need.

Typical hasidic jew, flauting his material gains. Why don't you ask daddy for a new raccoon hat, ya bum.
I got a new full-ATX case for my tower, a 500gb SSD, an external HDD for my xbone, some sweaters, and a Pikachu build-a-bear. I bought my little brother an iPad and my parents a really nice set of speakers for the living room.
>sister bought me some clothes
I'm okay with this.

>>321413810
can i have a bite
This year was the best one I've had since childhood. I'm so happy with what I got and gave.
No vidya received but gave my nephew NSMB Wii and Brawl.
I did get some Newegg money so here comes a new grafix card.
New headphones, some nice gym/running shoes, a gift card to a local butcher, and some various candies/drinks/minor clothes. It was a pretty solid xmas.
>>321413847
why the fuck would they call it the black series
>>321414167
People steal it sometimes
>>321413964
My dad has this idea that there's no passion in Christmas if you buy from a list, but desu when you really think about it you're being a little selfish if you buy some random shit you think they'll like because it appeals to some ideals you have about christmas as opposed to what'll make them happy
Like I generally like to buy my family members things that I can relate to them on like vidya if they ask for it or merch I think is cool but I recognize that I should get them what they want as opposed to what I want them to have
>>321413940Yes
>>321412810
Oh, and also my boyfriend got me a super cute fox kigarumi
>>321404302
A whole load of nothing.
>having family members
FUCKING CASUAL NORMIES
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
NEET LYFE 4EVER
>>321414360
Didn't mean to quote.
>>321414360
Normally my and my spouse skip Christmas because we just buy what we want but this year we decided to write a list out as try to have a "fun" one. He got me several things not on it like the amiibos, shirt, garden of words book and the natsume plush but they were all things I looked at at some point. Fuck the not list thing, it's just better with.
>>321414609
My dad just keeps buying me random shit that I don't have any care for and I don't get -why.- He got me the star wars droid, I never showed any personal interest in it despite it coming up a lot. He got me a camera drone, I thought it was kinda neat, I guess... But I almost never futz with stuff outside and really, what am I going to do with a drone? Peep on people?
I remember when I was really little he got me a fucking Magician's set and I couldn't even begin to comprehend why he thought I'd like it, I don't have the slightest care for Magic.
My sister has started to do it too (she didn't get me ANYTHING that I asked for this year which is really out of character for her) but at least she's slightly better about reading me as a person. She got me an interesting comic from a writer I like and a book about some kind of robot detective.
I'm probably not going to read the book, but the comic looks nice.
>>321404439
Those are all great gifts. Why the long face?
>>321407617
I think he's upset some of them gave nobody anything.
>>321414946
>Having family member's that get you stuff for Christmas.
>Complaining like a faggot that you didn't "get what you asked for".
You want to trade family's?
>>321415182
I don't like feeling spoiled but I honestly won't use most of the stuff. Every year, more and more junk people buy for me as a guess piles up in my room because surprise, I didn't ask for it and I have no interest in it.
I know children starving in Africa but I just don't get the thought of "it's not a real gift if you buy it from a list"
My family is far away, so nothing. My boss got me some Horchata, an UE Roll (the speaker), a Cactus, and home made cookies.
And you know what? I'm happy. The cookies were fucking great. The speaker is loud as shit for being small and the cactus is a Peruvian Old Lady that I plan to water and maintain.
>>321411252
Your parents are fucking awesome.
>>321413964
Please tell me youre a girl
>>321414946
You're a fucking faggot. I sincerely mean this. Please re-read what you posted and realize how much of a little cunt you sound like, right now.
By Star Wars droid, are you referring to that moving ball thing. Because that's pretty fucking cool, you pretentious ball of fat.
Your father, and man that helped birth you, got you a fucking CAMERA DRONE, that's fucking wicked.
But wait, you don't mess around outside. Is it because your gelatinous, greasy carcass has fused to your computer chair? Are you still capable of walking, anon?
tl:dr Go fuck yourself, you whiny brat.
>>321415606would it matter? I guess the stuff makes it pretty obvious.
I got a ps3 and metal gear solid legacy collection for myself and my uncle subscribed me to the NRA magazine
>>321415634
I get everyone else exactly what they want, my dad gives me cool shit that ends up being a waste of money because I have no interest in it, and I don't understand it.
He spends a LOT OF MONEY every year on a bunch of unnecessary gifts that I would frankly, honestly rather he just not get rather than try so hard with there being no point. He actually bought the star wars droid TWICE, once for my brother and once for me. My brother actually wanted it, I never mentioned it once. That thing is fucking expensive, man.
Like fuck along with my siblings I got my dad a bass guitar. He's been wanting for ages, we pulled the trigger, he was happy with it. Why does it have to be more complicated than that?
A SCAR 16S with 4 magazines and a NCSTAR Case. I am happy.

>>321415886
I'm obviously not going to tell him "please stop trying so hard and just buy from this shopping list" because he really does try and I don't want to be hurtful, but I just can't wrap my head around the flagrant waste of over 100$ every year on things that he has seen me repeatedly not use. I dunno what to say.

The hollow fragment game was amazing actually. Lost song not so much. I asked for it because I liked the previous titles combat a ton and the story was fine in some parts.
