I don't know what to ask for; I'm quite content with everything I have & anything I need, I can kinda just buy at a cheaper price they can.

I have a car; I have a job; I upgraded my PC earlier this year; I got new clothes earlier this year; I just bought a new paintball gun & airsoft gun. I'm basically set for all my hobbies & my professional life is going well. I've kinda "reached inner peace" but like people want to get me stuff.

 

I don't like nonsense like plaques/shirts with sayings on them as they're a waste of money imo. I feel weird about having these first world problems. I hope I don't come off as "flexing."

Asked for a new GPU since my 370 isn't so good anymore (at least with the shit driver support that all GCN 1.0 cards have on Linux), got a 570 for $80 kinda early since it was a local deal and I had to act quick.

 

As for stuff I'll actually get on Christmas day I'm getting a "new" Focus FK-9000 (new to me, used sadly. At least it has genuine Alps and not clones, but whatever), a cheapo adapter for it, an extended mousepad (jeez these things are expensive lmao, they're like $30-50 lmao), and maybe something else idk.

Quote me to see my reply!

The same thing I ask for every year.

 

 

 

 

To take over the world.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

I rarely ask for anything, I'm probably the worst person to shop for since I never really get fired-up about gift-giving during Christmas. I just enjoy having some time off work to spend with family and friends. 

 

That said, right now I'm trying to get into film developing, so hopefully some equipment or gift cards to online or retail photography shops find their way under the tree this year.

My Current Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Kingston HyperX Fury 3200mhz 2x16GB

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1

I didn't ask for anything but I did a massive overhaul on my PC after running the same hardware for the last 6 years. ?

Just some accessories for my car, namely a cassette bluetooth adapter and a phone holder for my car.

Damn! You'd be better off just going with a Bluetooth FM transmitter. No cables to worry about and they actually work really well. I use one in my car everyday.

Unbelievably, my car only has one cigarette lighter port, which means I kinda have to choose. My car has a decent cassette system anyways so why let it rot?

The transmitter also includes two USB ports if that's your concern.

So, since I usually just buy what I want (usually wait for a good sale or discount, or even buy used), I usually just ask for money for Christmas, and save it.  
This year my parents made me come up with a list, so I went pretty simple.

 

  1. Luigi's Mansion 3
  2. Retron 5
  3. bulk .308 ammo
  4. 5x1 HDMI 2.0 Switch

I think pretty simple list.  Nothing outrageous.  

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

I didnt really ask for anything, mentioned i would like some more glasses and a cutlery tray. Probably getting some more socks even if i have way too many already. Got myself some nice headphones on black friday, Sony MH-1000XM3, so those were my gift to myself.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
