Hell yeah I'm in! Its my favorite secret santa i look forward to each year! I've got 2 kids who don't drink (yet) on account of them being in preschool/grade-3. In previous years I'd also put my my doggo but he died last year. I'm an XL but I've got enough shirts. I love windows 95 and Futurefunk and ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ, I'm really into cyberpunk and retro hacker poo poo (for example https://github.com/mainframed/DOGECICS). My music tastes suck, its all over the map. I love me some smooth rear end chiptunes (long time legacy music hour listener) and synthwave is right the gently caress up my alley, I almost bought the pertuberator album but I'm cheap af. I'm also super in to future funk, before Saint Pepsi sold out. Metal not on my radar unless Steel Panther or Ninja Sex Party counts. In fact my son loves the NSP under the covers album (yes I know they don't count as metal). One year someone gave me their old mac!  I met up with other goons and we imaged the harddrive and you too can enjoy it in an emulator: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0f6niopgs2grh67/SamanthaFox.iso?dl=0 I don't really care what I/we get TBH I enjoy the surprise.

volunteering to elf again. and please, you need to put in a name that will work for getting things delivered to you, that goes double if you’re not in the us because you may have a fun time getting the box from your customs agency or post office if your santa addresses the box to your username and isn’t in the same country as you.

I have signed up for another year! I apologize in advance if my gift sucks, but I will try my best based on my santee’s suggestions. you may be aware that I am a fan of red pandas. I already have a lot of red panda memorabilia so please do not feel like it is a necessity. I otherwise like dark chocolate and coffee a lot. any comestibles would be welcome (but not booze). I do not have a lot of space for old computer stuff, but I would be interested in something like classic games/software for Mac OS 9. I have also been wanting to expand my 4K movie collection, so those would be welcome. I have an Amazon wish list here with some suggestions. See my wishlistu What else? I still sorta do hobby electronics so stuff like soldering projects are cool. maybe something I can interface with an arduino, or a cool clock. I have also been learning hand engraving and small parts fabrication but I’m not sure what I’d suggest there. please don’t feel like you have to send me a lot of stuff, these are just ideas to pick from :] your internet friend, silver acorn

Signed up for another great yosmas! Looks like there's no link to last year's thread so here it is: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3902495 i've been using nearly the same post every year and every year it's awesome so I'm gonna keep it up hi im achmed jones, i touch computers and hearts. i like many things, including: * the aesthetic and music surrounding vaporwave, future funk, synthwave, and related genres * ham radio stuff * i play guitar (poorly) and make beeps and boops in ableton. it's a lot of fun * I do infosec professionally and got my start phreaking in the 90s; old telco/phreaking (especially Ameritech) stuff would be rad * spicy food and also non-spicy food (I’m always stoked to try whatever local foods, condiments, etc you might want to throw at me) * beer and bourbon and red wine * renaissance fairs and similar (lol public gatherings in 2020) * funny computer and the ti-99/4a * sci fi and fantasy stuff in general * fully automated luxury gay space communism * I’m buddhist and reasonably serious about it; I probably have all the literature I’m after, but if you have a local monastery or nunnery that sells, uh stuff I guess, that’d be rad? little jones will be 5 soon. ms jones has general nerd interests (sci fi, fantasy, etc) and loves classic rock. we do not have any pets (RIP poodle jones, we miss you every day) shirt size is XL Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Nov 24, 2020 |

I missed last year's so I 'm super happy I remembered to check outside my bookmarked threads in time this year I like old computers but don't actually own any. Ditto for telecom stuff, I have connections to those who have inherited the smouldering remnants of the Bell System and like to hang out in their rooms full of telephone switches. Booze is good, send your local specialty if it's not too $ Spicy stuff is good! snacks of all kinds are welcome I have a ham radio and an SDR. Probably please don't send any more of that stuff, I already own too much. vintage/defunct tech company/telco swag would be cool. I'm a men's medium (tall/slim if that's possible) sized fingerless gloves (large, cozy) and other hacker/aesthetic poo poo could rule I have a 70s BMW 2002 that I converted to electronic fuel injection. Idk how you could tie that in, I already have way too many parts/tools/etc. anyway go wild, I'm not picky!

I'm signed up this year, very excited!! I'm into booze, old-school unix/linux stuff, circuit design, spicy food, weird snacks, synthwave, star trek, and musical instruments. I've got a 14-month old son (still in 12mo stuff for now, but who knows with kids) and I'm a medium or small shirt-size, depending on the shirt. No junk electronics please, I've got too much of that already and the wife would kill me. Poopernickel fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Nov 25, 2020 |

getting raised eyebrows as a clerk hands over an oversized package to your forums handle is what yosmas is all about. also i just address it to james every year and it's worked out.

ok sorry i'm late. i am fmammal. aside from checking the international shipping preferences were honoured i randomized the entries and don't actually know who my santa is. things i am in to: - good and also schlocky scifi, pop physics and math books - overspecialized or obscure kitchen tools - retro electronics - booze & specialties that are local to where you are are super cool - i'll eat anything once shirt size is l. my dog luna likes everything too and is ~25lb. hrm seems i am just like a lot of other yosposters how odd.
