Got my package today!



Here's what it looked liked inside when I first opened it!



And finally all the stuffs inside:



I got a lot of new art supplies, which is awesome! New watercolors, colored pencils, watercolor pencils and a graphite set! Also got a lot of sweets and snacks! It was a slight struggle to figure out what everything was since most was written in dutch, but luckily I have google translate

Really happy with what I got, I really needed new pencils; I'll definitelly use the watercolor set as well!

Thanks Summer santa!

[chuckdee]

Judging this packaging mad hard

[Zorberema]

Certainly is! I'm not very talented at watercolors, but I'll do my best! Would a pic in here count as on topic?

Judging this packaging mad hard

The orange sticker "SÖKT" means that it has been opened and searched through in customs. They probably just threw everything back in afterwards, so no hate towards the santa

[demik]

Ah okay got it.

Judging gone >.<

[thelectronicnub]

sent it out yesterday i think 

[Moistgun]

Sent out this morning!
And updated the tracking info in the OP.

I heard that black candy is terrible.  Is it bad?

It's basically sweet-ish licorice... I like sweet-ish licorice so I'd say it's pretty good! I know a lot of people hate licorice, so that's probably why you've heard it's terrible!

Got me some gifts from overseas so if I'm quick I'll ship it next week. Been starting to check my mailbox like crazy, waiting.

[absyrd]

Got mine today! Someone has been stalking me properly!



Now instead of sitting on my hard chair and being a tryhard with mouse and keyboard, I can Overwatch with controller in my recliner when I'm feeling lazy.

THANK YOU, SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's dope. I have an old injury that keeps me from playing for too long at a time grabbing the mouse and kb. I can play every so often from my soft mushy chair not in the usual computing position.

As long as I'm not letting actual friends down by my productivity in game being worse, like I give a ****...

And now I'll actually try some other games on Steam. I haven't gamed in years and now I have 2 reasons (Overwatch + lounging comfortably with controller).

I just got one recently, because I love Dragon's Dogma on the 360, and wanted to play the remaster on the PC.  (Bought a wired 360 controller as a backup).  It's... different.  I haven't totally been sold on it yet, but it works.  Sorta.  I probably just need to get used to it.

My gift arrived today, and I am stoked about it.  When it cools off outside, I'll get a proper picture.  I just had to post, because I am very excited about it.

I received some cool SW glasses, some NFC tags (which I have been meaning to try for years), some single colored hand made keycaps, and my favorite piece...  my first wooden wrist wrest!!!  I am using it right now!

Thanks, SS.  You da real MVP!

Glad to see I'm not the only one stressing over whether I did well...

Just received my gift from my Summer Santa earlier on in the week!

Here is unboxing



Here is gift all laid out!



I'm impressed that my Summer Santa knew I was into cars as I didn't mention anything in my description about it (I think) and funny thing is I've been wanting a 24sx ever since I was a kid! Also not pictured is a Bro reaper classic!

Thanks summer santa, I really love my gift.

I think those are the NFC Tags he referred to...

They look cool!  I never knew about these!

Sure, but Pogs would've been a lot cooler.

[demik]

Way cooler

[nubbinator]

Maybe they can still be used as pogs?  If only there were some slammers to go with them.

Also, just found a pic of the best slammer ever.

More

[Waateva]

OJ slammer is best slammer

[mobbo]

Lets bring back pogs.

I only play for keeps though

[Waateva]

Pogs got banned in record time at my school because one kid has a really good slammer and was taking everybody's Pogs so they cried to their parents who cried to the school who then banned them.  I only brought my trash Pogs to school though so I didn't lose too many.

WTF YALL KNOW ABOUT MEXICAN POGS AKA TAZOS

WTF YALL KNOW ABOUT MEXICAN POGS AKA TAZOS

Tazos started out with a set of 100 tazos featuring the images Looney Tunes characters and 124 Tiny Toons tazos in 1994.

Of course they did.  Tweety Bird and Taz had better have had the highest value.

And here I thought that Tweety and Taz only truly belonged on oversized tie dyed t-shirts worn by fat people at Walmart.

[chuckdee]

Speedy is the man... umm... mouse.  He should always have the highest value.

[demik]

Taz and tweety are more Mexican than speedy

[chuckdee]

/shrugs

I've just always liked Speedy.

[demik]

I mean I agree he's dope.
