this is me posting irl
hello my yosfriends i am happy to participate again this year :yayclod:

past Satnees:

2015: Jimmy Carter
(also i did a bonus sned to HAIL eSATA-n b/c his santa was a turd last year)

2014: HAIL eSATA-n


here are some suggestions for my secret santa:

- i have two cats. please feel free to send cat toys, cat treats, or the most irresistible scratching post devised by man

- please feel free to send a clever t-shirt in size XL.

- i would greatly enjoy foodstuffs, beverages, or other locally-produced items from where you live, especially if you are not an american. the macadamias that Stereotype sent last year were loving amazing
-- that said i am a terrible goonlord who does not enjoy beer or coffee. liquor's fine.

- i got my first smartphone ever this year. it is an lg nexus 5x. i already have a case for it, but if you know of any sw8 accessories or usb-c gadgets, maybe that would be cool

EDIT: i'm also cool with surprises. please don't feel terribly constrained, these are just suggestions.



please enjoy this picture of my cats. thanks and "god bless",

As ever I am happy to receive stupid tech junk, booze, pornography, drugs and the latest apple products.

I don't have any pets and please don't send me t-shirts. If you want to send other clothing items idk ask the ss elf?

Being able to ship to someone in the UK would be great as I'm a student and having to pay international shipping would significantly cut into what I can afford to spend on yospresents.

i like coffee, tea, dumb nerd stuff, and I've wanted some kind of arduino / rasp pi setup for a long time but i've never bothered to get it. some kind of decent hoodie would be cool too, xxl because I'm a big dude. also I love to cook, so any useful and/or gimmicky cooking things would be well used and appreciated.

also have 2 dogs and a 1.5 year old daughter.

2015, 2014.

I don't have too much room for books atm (college dorm room), but I like science fiction books and can pirate most books, so maybe save money on a book and send me a list of books you really liked? I like old and weird electronics, computers, radios, cameras, and so on. It is known that I like corgis but sending me an entire box of corgi-related merchandise might be too much (though the shirt jwoven had made for me last year still fuckin' owns). Art is neat if you make a art. Maybe send a liquor or low ibu beer because my alcohol experience extends to liking north coast scrimshaw pilsner and having had like 2 shots of fireball and 1 of garbage white rum and being a total lightweight. also no meat please i cannot eat it

(don't send Old Monk rum tho because my brother brought a bottle of that from india for me and i still have to go get it from him)

T-shirt size: medium

Pets: none, sadly. Mail me a puppy

Things not to send: please don't send me any of that good good dank stuff, as it is Illegal to smoke in the dorm.

Hi I'm Silver Alicorn. You may remember me from last year's secret santa, or from spamming the images thread with red pandas

Last year I got a cool knob from Eschaton, and I sent some red panda paraphernalia and vintage computer books/games to some unsuspecting santees.

Stuff I'd like to see: cool local stuff, handmade stuff, gifts from the heart. I like "vintage" computer stuff. I have a Sega Dreamcast. Cheesy 80s/90s action flicks on blu ray. Alcohol OK

I don't have any pets. I also already have all the red panda merchandise I can stand. I don't really wear t-shirts

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
hi, eschaton here, let's do this

2015 was my first YOSMAS, I sent OSI Bean Dip some books, some knickknacks, a Lisp Machine on a Stick, and the keyboard used to write Spectre Supreme, and Siljmonster sent me some great loot and our two cats loved the boxes and packing material

I like old tech stuff and progressivism and new wave sci-fi (John Brunner et al) and booze and art and stuff for the cats, and despite being old tech stuff myself still live in the SF Bay Area

this year I already have something special to send another very specific goon, but I'm happy to do that separate from otherwise doing YOSMAS for whoever I win in the Secret Santa Lottery

ok time to put some actual effort in this

hi, i'm surebet, the guy that had an unhealthy shitposting obsession with bitcoin for a while (i'm better now)

i don't currently have any animals
like many yospos turbo nerds, i have a fondness for old tech, especially if it's a) still usable and b) get the job done in a significantly over complicated fashion vs current stuff
i also love keyboard stuff

i would also love nerd stuff to put on my desk at work, please nothing that could get me fired (aka anime in general)

i would appreciate any yospos gag gift that don't involve me having to call an exterminator or my insurance

finally, local stuff i can't find up here would also be neat, food and drink related, just keep in mind that importing alcoholic beverages into canada is technically verboten

long story short, tech good, anime bad, meal worms no thank you
