sorry santee, I had this extremely aesthetic vintage computer poster I was going to take out of its frame, roll up and send you, but it turns out it's printed on foam-core poster board and would not have rolled up very well. Now I have to think of something else for the main bit. Perhaps I'll ship out local goodies in a separate package so you get something quickly.

Hunter2 Thompson posted:a box arrived just as I was heading out to pick up some last-minute things to throw in the box for my santee I couldn't wait until christmas to open it, so you all get to enjoy the pics now! First thing in the box was a really cool home-computer-made card with sweet b&w graphics  Thank you Optimus_Rhyme!!! Did you use macpaint to make this? It looks amazing!  Okayyyy, the next thing was this exceptionally heavy nylon bag. There's no way that there's a laptop in here, nobody could possibly produce such a heavy laptop computer. It's just not realistic. Let's get back to that later, maybe it's packed with mealworms or something. I was laughing pretty hard at how loving heavy this bag was as I pulled it out, jeezus.  oh sweet, a bunch of 'con stickers and other things. I see a Telephreak key-card of some sorts hiding behind that deck of cards, this is going to be good!  The spread (knife was not included). Really liking these stickers, I lol'd at the z system ones. WinTV and FireSticks as promised! I can probably put these to some actual good use, thanks   okay, so what's in the bag? OH poo poo  It's a fuckin' KAYPRO 2000 "laptop" some cool points: the keyboard comes off and is attached with a phone handset-like cord for computing at a distance it has a fuckin' modem LCD screen! pop-up 3 1/2" floppy drive additional floppy storage weighs like 20 lbs metal case There's no space for a power supply in the bag (apparently nobody with a KAYPRO 2000 has the original power supply anymore for this exact reason) so I'll have to rig something up with a bench supply to get this baby to boot! Thanks Optimus_Rhyme, this has been a sick YOSMAS!

A `sudo apt install dosbox` and some config tweaking later, and I get... ketchup and mustard, this is rockin'! "RUN ME" seems to call out for me to... run it?   2016? Hmm, this won't do. THERE WE GO  THANKS OPTIMUS_RHYME!

Hunter2, now that i'm at a computer, I meant to include this in with the package but after I was done taping up the box with the label i look over and theres the sheet of paper, so here you go instead: quote:User Manual: quote:Did you use macpaint Close, i used The Print Shop in Mini vMac: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/2567-the-print-shop (growing up i had an Amiga with print shop and the cards look great).

it was me! The amaretto is from a small distillery in my town. They don't make scotch, but their amaretto is pretty drat good. Not syrupy like the mass-market stuff. It makes for a bitchin' godfather. Glad the package arrived OK. Fedex guy thought it was pretty funny when I put your name down as "God of Blood"

Gift arrived from kuvo! Shadowrun Sixth World Core Rules - My first TTRPG ever was Shadowrun 2nd edition, I have, frankly, an embarrassing amount of novels and sourcebooks for this game and as much as I love it that game was basically unplayable. I'm hoping that they made it at least a bit more streamlined this time around! Cyberspeak, an online dictionary- Very excited to learn what 'lol' means :V Deus Ex: Invisible War - I actually already have a physical copy of this, but! I'm very glad you picked it because I have to defend this game all the time as being severely underrated. I think it was the most philosophically complex of all the DX games, even if the gameplay wasn't particularly polished, and a concurrent console release hurt it, I think. Kensington Drive Guardian - Coincidentally, I'm going through a project of making ISO's out of most of my physical media. Google Nest Mini - One of my housemates is a google engineer working on Bluetooth, so I bet she could finish the usb speaker project.  Metal Earth Apollo Model - We have a ton of cool little space bric-a-brac on on our mantle, this would be a great addition. Chololate: yes Friskies cat treats - I do have cats! And as requested, pics below.

glad it got there in one piece, the lady at fedex made it sound like it was a dice roll if it got there before new years (if at all). hope you (and your cats) enjoy the gifts!KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:yoo glad to not be the only one who thinks DEIW was seriously underrated. DE > DE:HR > DEIW > DE:MD imo. there was some interesting writing in IW but gently caress the gameplay was bad

A gift today, my birthday! Pictures of children and animals being subject to yosmas ahead, viewer caution advised: I've always been impressed by letterhead but the twitch.tv wrapping paper is something else- what a classy set up:  And the goods! This isn't useless desk ornament at all, it's a beefy little speaker I'll use with the kids!   The thing weighs like 10 pounds, it's got to be a full 5 of battery to make that sort of runtime work. Thank you Sniep! Merry Christmas!
