What did you get for Christmas?

i got a Nintendo Switch and the upcomming Advance Wars 1 + 2: Reboot Camp (well, Nintendo E-Shop cards worth the money for that game, considering its not out yet), a game series i have been enjoying since my early childhood (the first (and currently only) game i've played from the series being Advance Wars: Dual Strike, the third and final part of that storyline) and i never once stopped loving.

unironically, i am still booting up my old Nintendo DS just for this game - and started 100%ing it (the first and only game where i actually care about 100%ing it - and im almost done, having 298 out of 300 achievement medals) recently!

so right now i'm mostly hyped for that and am kind of in the Advance Wars waiting room.

i just genuinely hope the game is gonna do well, as i would love to see a reboot of Dual Strike at some point and maybe even a 4th entry to the saga, continuing where the third game left off.

I got a mini Zen garden thing, a whole load of Bonzai trees, a Sam Fender cd, money, a beanie, a mystery novel, chocolate and some other bits.

Most importantly though: No underwear or socks! Best Christmas ever!

I mainly got cash, which I used to get OKAMI on the Switch, a 128 GB card for the switch since my Switch only have megabytes left, and the thing I'm most excited for is a Limited Run Games Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic on the Switch (I know it's cheaper digitally, but the box art is too cool and KOTOR is too important to my childhood to cheap out on it like that. Excited to replay the game now that I have have consciousness and can actually appreciate it, rather than just thinking it looked pretty and button mashing interesting).

For the stuff I got that wasn't cash, here's the things that stuck out

two sets of gloves (surprised it was remembered in a passing comment about my cold hands on a phone, but appreciated. It was small but I appreciated it and will wear them)

Among Us Crewmate plushie (it's actually soft and I had a good laugh)

Candles (I haven't been able to smell since having Covid, so pretty weak. However the gifter said they thought I would've regained smell by now which is fair, it been over 5 months I don't know how I can't smell. Either way, can't wait to eventually be able to use them hopefully seriously when will my Nose decide to do it's job)

2 Star Wars character Disney Infinity toys (I collect Amiibo, and I think my parents were confused. However, they look neat, I'm keeping them on a display shelf)

and last but certainly most importantly a hand made Blue Monkey plush (what I liked most, my brother gave me and my sister hand made plushes. My sister had a Koala, I had a blue monkey. It features my two favorite blues and Monkeys are still my favorite animal, their associated with the Lazy Monkey NFTs aren't going to change that. If you're for some reason here of all places brother, again thank you so much)

Yeah, my friends kinda know me as "the FNAF guy" because I just love it so much. lol

Haven't got the stuck into it properly yet, really been going in and some of the Fazbear Frights stories I got from my local library. Quite a lot of fun those ones are, though, some of those stories get REALLY nutty. I am looking forward to reading Silver Eyes though and the rest of the novels eventually, here there quite good.

- An LED ring light: Not sure what I'll use it for yet, but it changes colors and I love it nonetheless.

- A light up Bluetooth speaker: I've been needing a speaker so I can play music while I clean my house 🤣

- A husky and penguin mini plushies: I've been wanting these plushies for a while now and I am so happy that I have them now! (And they are very adorable, by the way!)

- Air dry clay: I like modelling things out of clay from time to time, so I loved this gift.

- A whole lot of makeup, purfume, etc: It's always good to have self care products, so I loved these as well.

- Games: I got Gears 5, Fallout 76, and Borderlands 3.

A rest.
