I thought I'd have to go to work to have thr label printed but turns out once I got the code I could just write it on the box and take it to the post office. Posti sucks rear end but at least they do something right. Who has a printer??

 a package has arrived will sort out some proper pictures later but some insane person shipped this half way round the entire world! also I have my second part boxed and ready, should be able to get it posted Thursday and then I think it's like a 5 day delivery time, I'm gonna apologise again to the mystery person that is still waiting for something to turn up and explain the bit they (hopefully) already got

ok let me preface this by saying that this person is insane because it must have cost a fortune to ship all the way from goddamn Australia. I salute your dedication in committing to the result of ticking the "international shipping is ok" box. first up, this weighed a ton, on opening we find:  a cool as hell book on Spomenik which are monuments to various things in eastern Europe. funnily enough my wife just bought me a calendar that features a few of these! gonna read this one! anyway, there's this black thing below it that we'll come back to... next up, yoscoffee. this smells excellent, perfect timing as I'm about to run out of beans. I will think about these beans for sure.  next, some chocolate and honey that is allegedly the best in the world  I think I've heard of this stuff, I've been to Australia twice so maybe then? Fun fact; it is illegal to import honey to Australia because of something to do with bees, but I guess there's no problem exporting their poison to the rest of us or something? the jar here leaked a little bit (probably pressure from a cargo plane I'm guessing) so there was a sticky coating, holy poo poo imagine the carnage if it had broken. ok the final black box mystery.  an entire goddamn mini PC case weighing like 7kg whoever you are, this is either the world's biggest packaging overkill (everything bar the book was inside it) or you're just crazy. this owns though, it even has extra sides. I always wanted to build a mini pc back in the glory days of Shuttle machines with their wildly bad thermals (a friend recently built one with like a 4070rtx in it, it's probably a fire hazard). I think I might use this to build a console gaming machine, I guess these days I can probably just put a raspberry pi in there and run the whole thing on it but that's no fun, maybe one of those mini atx SOC boards or something. also a penguin was jammed in there, is this a hint to install Linux? I refuse, and anyway console games are no good without sound. so there we go, you absolute maniac

oh great it arrived, so my original plan was foiled because the post office lady refused to fill out the customs form without a real name or phone number which is why i went to plan b - where i discovered there was a typo in the address you sent lol so it might not have arrived had it originally gone off without a hitch dear yosfriends it has been a time of reflection and staying the gently caress offline you know? went to the maritimes for early christmas, but it only started snowing here recently so otherwise its been quiet and grey which is great hoodie weather, much to graces delight  i received many and sundry gifts, and here shall i share them with you, completing the sacred yulepos contract as santa is both smarter and nobler than i, they prepared two gifts, one to arrive pre and post the traditional hour gift 1 arrived last year:  a mug, graced with the holy greenpos hue (my evening kitchen lights are very warm lol) also  now to think about the silliest way to use these stickers. following gift 1 came the time of soup, keeping us through the longest night  the days encroach, there are newer, fresher soups, when what! a second gift appears  first, well done catching this accidental loophole in your letter wherein you ask me to assassinate you. id keep an eye on what your subconscious is doing. have you gotten in touch lately? you know, shrooms are much more socially acceptable these days. second. an incredible example of craftspersonship, this lovely necklace  i already have a necklace on but sure fashion is often about excess  a cute bird, an actual example of craftspersonship, now living on my tree (funny story the birds have wanted nothing to do with the christmas tree this year)  some locally roasted coffee, which is cool to see. i like checking out small time roasters and trying to think about how they did it differently than i might have.  santa correctly deduced how much i love calvin and hobbes (like many here i'm sure) and gave me a book! which is great because i don't have any printed out and this sort of thing is always fun to grab off a shelf periodically and leaf through. thanks friends for another bountiful yosmas season

pretty obvious it was me given the massive delay in shipping I posted about (and I put my name on the letter anyway) so hell yes I'm glad the mug printing turned out ok! that was the closest I could get to your birds with AI image creators, there are only so many prompts for "green cyber parrot" you can try I said I'd ship some electrical junk, I nearly put e-waste on the customs form and I bet they didn't know what the gently caress if they x-rayed it or whatever.

yosmas has arrived! huh, never heard of this retailer  it's from faxlore! and it's a yo-yo!!! i am curious if this was a wild guess or if they did some serious internet detective work to figure it out. i actually do not have a yo-yo of this type. it is one that can be switched from "responsive" to "unresponsive". i have never had an "unresponsive" yo-yo before because they didn't exist when i learned yo-yo as a kid  a book about funy computer security, and a mug. the mug is huge, 15 ounces, large format for lots of bean water  a record! it is Bartees Strange's album Farm to Table. i have never heard of this guy so i am excited to give it a listen. bonus points for funy religious iconography

I couldn't find my GBs of camera photos on my machine until I realised that onedrive's backup shifted them all off to gently caress knows where

Not the present, just me being a drat moron and spending minutes to stuff the parcel into a bag that really was too small. So I had to spend more minutes trying to extract it from the bag without tearing it: Instructions were to open from the side without labels. LEEEEROOOOYYY JENKIIIIINS!  Whoa I've always wanted healthy hair!  This was the present. I ate it and now I have lush hair!  Thanks, Santa!

Oh wait there was more stuff. Some really nice stickers that I will now stress over because WHAT IF I ADHERE THEM TO THE WRONG THING?!??  A stylish card with a nice note:  Wrapped gifts! (I forgot to wrap my gifts  ) Cool cat doing a GOP salute: https://i.imgur.com/7KHCfcd.mp4 (JK ) Sweets!  I ate them in one sitting. They were salty! The toffee was very smooth and not as sticky as I feared. One of those things that means the same as another thing:  I eat synonym every morning with my porridge. Haven't opened the seal on this yet. And the piss de resistance!  This is the second time I've gotten an embroidered picture for YOSMAS (or whatever the technique is called). Gonna put this on my desk once I tidy it up. Bonus picture of the toffees about ten minutes before their demise:  Thanks again, Santa! 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jan 15, 2024 |

I only noticed after the fact that the chocolate thing was meant to be stirred into a hot drink. I ate it like a lollipop. So sue me,. e: I'd put the cat on the window but it would literally freeze at night lmao. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jan 15, 2024 |

I'd imagine the animation would be the hardest bit. ladyweapon posted:YOSPOS said to send you a cat, so I felt obligated. Since the baby wouldn't make it through international customs, I settled on a lucky cat since iirc you posted about enjoying Control (an excellent video game). Had YOSPOS said to send me a 400-pound gorilla, the world would be a very different place right now. ladyweapon posted:I'm glad you like it! Did I already mention it got 52 "likes" on the local Commodore Facebook page? (I think that's pretty much every user on there.)
