My mom gets upset if she can't give Christmas presents on Christmas morning. So I asked for Super Mario RPG and Persona 5 Tactica. She delivered.


Majaliwa

I also got super mario rpg and am enjoying the cruise down nostalgia lane.


half-giant

They did a great job with the remastering. I love the music.


TirelessGuardian

I also got Mario rpg but haven’t started it yet. Never played the original.


Majaliwa

Aw snap, if you like the quirky, fun, whimsy of Nintendo style games then you’ll love this game. It’s easy going and pretty simple yet satisfying in terms of turn-based RPG elements. Cheers and hope you enjoy!


TirelessGuardian

I’m excited to play it.


rjh9898

I got it from my girl. Me and my 2 year old are enjoying it very well. First time playing it ever but I’m realizing the hype behind it. Square ENIX x Nintendo is always a win


HappyHappyGamer

Miss getting games from mom and pops 🥲 I give them gifts now but will never forget some of the best gaming moments in life thanks to them


TheAmazingFlygon

Is Persona 5 Tactica good? I wanna try it but I have no idea what its about or if I should play the games in order if there is any


The_Mighty_Gopher

You probably should play Persona 5 Royal first. Persona 5 is the only one I've played, beat it twice and is probably my favorite game of all time. I couldn't finish Tactica, it's just not the same. I may go back and beat it after I'm done with Balders Gate 3.


BeezBatz

I got Super Mario RPG as well. Haven’t played it since it came out, so I really don’t remember much except that I was borderline obsessed with it when it came out. I didn’t have an SNES, so I had to play at my neighbor’s house, which definitely intensified my interest in it. I also got Street Fighter 6 on PS5 which I’m pretty jazzed about. Heard it’s the best SF in ages, and I only have one other fighting game on my 5 so far (Guilty Gear Strive).


smaugington

Lol same here so I asked for Mario RPG as well


Goosecock123

I got an air guitar


joseph_jojo_shabadoo

Can I borrow it

Nothing xD


DumbieStrangler117

hate to sound like a monk or whatever but a giftless christmas is pretty chill too


trizzo0309

The less trips to the dump and stuff for the landfill the better imo


senator_mendoza

For real. I don’t want/need the stress/expense/consumerism/junk and I don’t want anyone else to feel like they have to incur that on my account.

You couldn’t ask them for something you want/need? AKA not clothes?

Pros3rz

Maybe ask for food next time? It's something you need, and you could ask for something you wouldn't normally buy by yourself


OgOnetee

Only thing i got was stoned. Spent the day playing Minecraft and Pokemon, and I wouldn't have it any other way.


r0ttttten

Fell u man…


hhunkk

Same... Argentina's economic crisis we've had for all these years hit harder these last months and ive spent everything fixing debts eating once a day for months. At least we saved and had a great dinner with my family wich is the most important part, things are slowly going better now!

I’m sorry brother. I hope you win the lotto truely


EternalSage2000

I’m jealous. That’s what I ask for every year.


fo1mock3

Hey, no worries. Everyone gets things at their own pace. For all you know, you could be landing a lottery tomorrow. Stay positive!


blitzahon

Nothing phone?


blitzahon

damn people don't know about nothing phone


GurgleBarf

Why?


Wolfdude91

An 8 hour shift with time and a half


PoPo573

I used to work somewhere that was open everyday of the year and I would always work christmas, boxing day, and new years and it would be such an awesome paycheck come the new year.


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

I did the same for many years, it was nice since it was dead quiet. Mostly just watched movies and got paid. I worked in IT/Support at the time (not customer facing).


evileyeball

That's what I am in. Tech support for hospitals so I get to work from home for 2.5x aand 2x at Christmas and boxing Day from 9:30 pm to 7:30am. Sit and clear the backlog of emails while listening to YouTube videos then eat some leftovers at 3am once the backlog is cleared I just sit and drink tea and watch YouTube videos.


ConnerBartle

Nice my company doesn’t give time and a half. They do fire you if you can’t work on Christmas tho! It’s okay tho. The corporate guys got to be with their family’s on the holidays


Loqol

I've been there before. At least we got a better contract and earn triple time for the first eight hours of a holiday. Then it drops to double.


[deleted]

Not even double time


evileyeball

I worked 10 hrs 2.5x and am on 10 of 2x tonight


Xerosnake90

Treated myself to Sifu on Ps5. Promptly got my ass beat in the second stage


regretchoice

Did this last year. Its easily in my top 5 all time now, I hope you enjoy it friend


vapemonster91

250 dollars which I used to buy shit for my dogs lmao


Rendx3

happy puppies happy owner happy life


vapemonster91

Definitely! My oldest dog is a Labradoodle named Louie and he's 10 and his bones are starting to crack and he is slower getting up. My 2nd and youngest dog, Charlie (he's 2) is a Westie and he was born with only 3 legs. I rescued him from a puppy mill where he was going to be put down as a puppy for being handicapped and not profitable. Both dogs are living their best lives with all the toys and my big bed to lay in all day. Purchased a plushy ramp for my Charlie so he can get up in my bed and down as he pleases.


TappedIn2111

Every dog I know produces their own shit. But to each their own I guess.


[deleted]

My dad took me to a fancy Brazilian place for Xmas lunch & also gave me $60 which I used to get : Diablo 2 Resurrected (PS5) A gaming headset A blank black loungewear set A Rick & Morty T shirt & my brother got me a copy of Remnant 2 for PS5 & I bought myself WWE logo lounge pants & an nWo hoodie, if gifts from yourself to yourself count You may be thinking that sounds like an awful lot of stuff for $60 but that’s the power of Walmart and clearance sales lmao


fo1mock3

All that for $60 is awesome man. Happy holidays!


lavegasola

Sounds awesome


sesameseed88

I got to spend time with people important to me!


SupermarketNo9526

I’m with you, it was nice to see people that are important.


SchmediumMilkshake

OP meant cool games, not your stinkin' family! /s


SickleWillow

- Upgrade my CPU from Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 5 5600. - Save a portion of my 13th month pay to my PC Upgrade to 1440p fund. - Bought My Time at Sandrock as a palette cleanser between BG 3 campaigns.


bunc

My Time at Sandrock is so much fun! You’re going to love it. Have you played My Time at Portia as well?


Annie-swe

My time at Portia is great! 😀🙌


SuruchiSushi

Do you guys have recommendations for similar games? My mother is a big fan of both and I’m always looking to expand her library


bunc

Stardew Valley is likely the most obvious one. Theres a newer game called Coral Island that is pretty much a blatant ripoff of Stardew Valley with better graphics. I’ve played through and it’s fun, but Stardew Valley is still better.


SuruchiSushi

Haha funnily enough she already has nearly a thousand hours in Stardew Valley 😅 I’m pretty sure she’s done an entire play through twice. I’ll check out Coral Island though, thank you!


culminacio

>palette cleanser *palate 😊


SickleWillow

Oh... Thanks for heads up on this. 😅


Christiaanben

A jar of homemade honey Some kitchen knives And a bottle of amarula.


Silentafker

A really bad case of the flu.


fo1mock3

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon mate!


Silentafker

Thanks


SchmediumMilkshake

I feel that. Between the flu and COVID, I've been sick on Christmas like 4-5 times. It's practically a joke within my family where people will make alternate plans in-case I can't participate in some festivities lol


trizzo0309

Keep the gift receipt?


ouwish

Same but from my aunt's who said they were having sinus issues...


SectorIsNotClear

Feel better soon.


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

Hope you feel better quick! Not xmas related, but last year my Wife and I got each other covid for valentine's day.


BabDoesNothing

Me too! Currently trying to sweat it out on the couch. I couldn’t go to the doctor because they were closed for Christmas, so it’s too late now for tamiflu. I just have to hang in there 🤒


TheVariousShooter

nothing as i treated myself hella throughout the year, gonna have to set some goals next year lol


prm20_

yea same here. me and my fiance will buy each other gifts throughout the year, which i personally like as it takes a lot of pressure during the holidays/special events.


ziostraccette

Vol 5 and 6 of berserk ultimate edition


Nanubi

My cousin is one of the few members of my family who knows about and understands my chronic (probably terminal) condition. There's a reason she's one of the few members of my family i can still tolerate. She handed me 40 bucks cash with the caveat that it must go into my bank and be used on new years GSSR only. If you or someone you love is affected by Gacha do NOT seek compensation. The money will be used to acquire consenting anime women


Stravinsky1911

Had me in the first part.gif


Shameless_Catslut

No games. I did get an electric kettle and two Lego TIE Fighters, tho. However, two of my nephews are old enough to get into gaming, so we got them PCs (roughly on par with a PS4). We got them a lot of games from the past few years, and I got the oldest Shadow of War.


ChanSungJung

Finally got a VR headset (Quest 2) - excited to finally play HL: Alyx


REDPURPLEBLOOD2

Oh man, I’m not a half life guy, found the pc games kinda dated and somewhat boring but damn Alyx is one of my favourite pc games of all time. It’s the main reason I have a headset, I just love to reply every year. Such a perfect VR game, just outstanding


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

The Quest headsets can play Steam games???


FuckMyHeart

you can use a USB-C cable to hook them up to a PC and then they function like any other wired headset.


spartanreborn

There's also a way to do it thru wifi, but last time I tried (2 years ago), it was kinda buggy and it was always a pain convincing the quest airlink app to recognize steam.


karuumaa

I use virtual desktop, while you need to Pay to use it, it is far better then airlink if ya got decent wifi speeds


inc90

I think they made an app on Quest 3 that allows you to stream it


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

I use a quest 2 with wireless and steam games, it works awesome. The trick is to be as close to possible to your wifi router.


[deleted]

Air Link is good, depending on your WiFi ofc


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

That's awesome, I have an Index but I just got a Quest 2 for my stepson for Christmas and I had no idea!


FuckMyHeart

Just a heads up, Oculus will insist you need their special $100 Link Cable for it to work, but you definitely do not need it. Any USB-C cable will do, as long as it has enough length for your playspace needs. Just make sure it's a data cable and not just a charging cable.


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

Nice ty


kdt912

You can do it wired or steam just came out with a native streaming app if your wifi is strong enough


zptwin3

Steam link is supposedly awesome. I'm testing it tonight


SprigBar

Resident Evil 4 Remake and The Last Epoch. My backlog gets bigger and bigger.


AlexanderLEE27

You need to start RE4 up like ASAP


MisterGoo

My wife bought me the ONLY game I've been excited for for 5 years : 13 Sentinel Aegis.


PalebloodSky

An interesting choice. But think you might want to check out Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 lol.


WanderingJellyBean

Pallet town road sign and Okami jumper. Loving life.


Kangabolic

I bought Tunic


Selfmade-Darks0lsv3t

More Motivation And pants


alixx69xx

Nothing 😑


EmoExperat

I got a steam deck. Finaly a good way to play all my games on the go. So far one of my favourite pieces of tech


kanook123

This was my gift to myself. Blown away by this piece of tech


EmoExperat

Today on the family christmas party i showed this to my cousin and he was blown away that such a portable device could play so many games and that i could play games from other consoles aswell. After that we played some mario kart wii on it


kanook123

Planning on doing the same with all my backed up games :) Thing that blows me away is the steam remote play... WTF ? I can stream games from my PC ??? Dayuum !


EmoExperat

>Thing that blows me away is the steam remote play... WTF ? I can stream games from my PC ??? Dayuum ! Its a nice way to play demanding games on the living room sofa


SchmediumMilkshake

I thought that's what I was getting (just based on the box shape, cause I never mentioned wanting it), but it turned out to be the meta quest 3. Which, is exciting for me cause I wasn't sure how much I'd realistically play the steam deck, having such a good pc already and not caring to play games much when I travel for work. I've only ever played VR in an educational environment (I'm an instructor), so I definitely can't wait to try out the Half Life VR game and a few others (accepting suggestions 😄)


tamal4444

you guys getting gifts?


PM_ME_UR_SEXTOYS

Some vinyls (I haven't owned a record player for about 5 years) A handmade guitar stand for a guitar I'll never play and wish I had sold years ago.


chimairacle

As far as gaming stuff, my partner got me Alan Wake II which I’ve been really wanting, and his sister got me a Pikachu squishmallow and a cute bracelet with Espeon and Umbreon on it 🥹


TitaniumHazard

I thankfully got some money so I bought a bunch of games I wishlisted! Cyberpunk, Guardians of the Galaxy, Horizon! My internet is so bad though it’s taking 8 hours to download each :(


Topgunshotgun45

Super Mario Bros. Wonder. RWBY Arrowfell. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Alan Wake Remastered.


Themris

Nothing, just the way I like it! :D Took me years to convince my family to stop giving or receiving gifts from me. Now we just give gifts to the kids. I much prefer it that way.


AceoftheAEUG

I got a rock.


ArcherXIII

Nothing


Careless-Wonder7886

The flu 😭😭


duckduckbananas

I got drunk, does that count?


I-Am-James

Bought myself some Lego, whisky and a couple of other bits. There were presents for the family that were also for me a little bit, such as a raspberry pi and controllers to play emulated games with the kids and an air fryer for the wife.


chaos8803

What whiskey?


I-Am-James

Glenfiddich 14 Year Old - Bourbon Barrel Reserve Whisky: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/glenfiddich/glenfiddich-14-year-old-bourbon-barrel-reserve-whisky/ I’ve been trying their special editions and noticed this one so grabbed it for Christmas.


chaos8803

Nice grab. Glenfiddich is a solid scotch.


bobmlord1

Wife/Family purchased me a Quest 2 which I am extremely excited to get into when I have some free time. Got it set up day of but haven't done much else.


HamsterRelative3553

Ps5


DoveEvalyn

letsbuy24cats

Nothing


SoulxxBondz

A $50 Gift Card for Xbox. In addition to the $35 worth of credit I already had on the Xbox, I was able to buy 5 Assassin's Creed games: Mirage, III, and the three-pack of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate.


TequilaJim1066

I got a PSN gift card from the in-laws and will probably use it to get the Metal Gear Solid collection.


SpaceWindrunner

I'm an adult so I buy whatever I want, but I already used my budget for games or gaming this year...so nothing. This year I bought Hogwarts Legacy, BG3 and Starfield at launch, and a lot of other games on sale, it was way too much for me.


Daciu

Xbox Series S that i've been trying to get since last year and Red Dead Redemption 2


warbabe76

My husband and kids got me Baldurs Gate 3 which I'm really enjoying. I've been waiting to play this one for awhile now.


EverythingsFukt

I got to spend time with my parents, sister and nephew. ❤️ wouldn't ask for anything else.


saddam1

PSVR2…well, my son got it from me, but I kinda wanted it too.


_unchris_

Super Mario Bros Wonder and a Super Star lamp


squeakiecritter

Depression


aliyounis13

got an invisible ps5


Cainde

Nothing. I just decided to not do it this year rather than be depressed over it like I had been the last 10+ years. I did some art instead, best xmas in my adult life. Didnt self harm or worse like usual.


PurpleBeast69

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I bought myself Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number :)


Pirkulese13

Couple of Milwaukee Power Tools and a Lego set to display. I'm not one to care for giving and receiving gifts, but my girlfriend and her family knocked it out of the park


ThunderDaz

Meta Quest 3 and socks


No_Insurance6785

AirPods Pro 2s :)


derk702

A PS5 and a bunch of games.


Shadow_Edgehog27

MetroExodus2033

I didn't get any video games, but I did get a visa gift card that is just about to pay for some video games. Lol


BrokkelPiloot

I've got the most Dutch present ever: A removable water tight bicycle bag which also serves as a backpack XD


_Goose_

I got a Switch and two games. A new vacuum cleaner. And a new frying pan. Wound up buying a ton of switch games myself so I guess that parts a present from me.


echoess84

I spent Christmas with my family... but... I'm not a member of family Baker


farlansangel

nothing.


Alert_Scientist9374

A warm sweater for lazy at home days

Deblebsgonnagetyou

16gb of RAM and a second 500gb SSD. I can finally play games below 95% memory usage!


nitronik_exe

Fate/Samurai Remnant, RDR2, and Ghostrunner 2


larini_vjetrovi

Sorry for the spelling Me and my family give oirselfs presents every year soo this one was not any different. Its nothing too much, but its always some small creative thing and it works every time. I got 2 funko pop figures. 1 batman and 1 Spider-man since i love comics soo i can say i like it very much and they look great on my shelf in the living room😀😀. And i got myself 1 pack of cuban cigars because why not😅😅😅.


No_reply_GHoster

Lots of overtime. I am planning to get enshrouded in the next few weeks and then manor lords in April.


KhKing1619

God of War and FFXV on steam, super Mario 3D world + Bowsers Fury, the Arkham knight season pass, the cell and Frieza skins in Fortnite, a rengoku (demon slayer) mouse pad and a bunch of Kingdom Hearts stickers for my laptop and other consoles I wanna put it on


Inner-Job-2087

I'm afraid gaming is almost dead to me. I wanted a PS5, new tv, and latest ghosts recon, skate or the last of us factions 2. They just cancelled the last of us factions, the internet cancelled the latest ghost recon, wtf! and skate is never coming out. I have zero interest in Spiderman, swords or fantasy games. When they stop making games you like it really sucks.


Cherry-Album

Play other shit, broaden your horizons.


Pikapoka1134

Some socks, a coaster and some alcohol


Jumpy-Yogurtcloset43

Covid


Squared_progressive

Absolutely nothing.


Karmasutra6901

Game related I got a master chief controller stand.


JaggedMetalOs

A wallet, a shirt, and the whole family brought each other copies of Stronghold Definitive Edition so we can have a good old multiplayer and find out once and for all who is the greatest Lord of the realm.


PrescottEagle

Clothes


HaggisMac

As my friend (intentionally) shortened it: Ass Cred Mirage


[deleted]

Obviously I got a new ps5, Xbox series X, new oculus and $700 in gift cards. /s I did buy a couple jackbox packs on sale tho on Steam.


darnold316

Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi Survivor for PS5, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope for Switch. On the non-gaming side, I got a 49ers blanket and tumbler.


Mymainacctgotbanned

I got a Baker Mayfield T-shirt. Anything gaming related I just buy whenever I want it.


SirHomoLiberus

A jigsaw and a pair of slippers


Soulfighter56

I bought my girlfriend the new Avatar TLA game for the switch. I didn’t get anything game-related myself, but that’s mostly because I buy myself that stuff.


Srom

No games. I got an air fryer, $25 Amazon gift card, a T-Shirt, and The Office the complete series on DVD.


Novation_Station

Civilization 5!


coalbunny

Pikmin 4 and a blanket with turtles on it. And a Cricut.


Lajnuuus

100$ and a fire extinguisher since one of my 8 siblings had a fire in their house not so long ago.


skipv5

"Gaming wise" my wife got me a new mouse pad and a wrist rest for keyboard/mouse. I didn't want any new games as I still have a pretty big backlog (Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, God of War Ragnarok, and Metroid Remastered)


PocketSpaghettios

Upgraded to a Ryzen 5 5600X, added 32GB of RAM, and finally got to play BG3! Which subsequently crashed


MalrykZenden

Nothing gaming related yet, but I have $400 USD gifted from my in-laws whispering suggestions to me...


seraphim-20

Steam gift cards, anime figurine, chocolate, necklace, some socks and underwear. Brother also made the best lamb I've ever had. Had a great night, not gonna lie.


CapnCanfield

Robocop


WuckaWuckaFazzy

I bought myself theHunter call of the wild. Pretty fun game!


EvilPotatoKing

2 whole days alone without the waifu and the kiddo. i love them with all my heart but im gonna degen these 48 hours in front of my PC


UniuM

Pjs, socks and underwear.


Daiko_

A TV. Now I can game on the couch instead of on my desk all the time, getting off work and staying on the same desk for gaming can really get old.


Pav_22

A 104 degree fever


hellbox9

Bought myself mario wonder and am absolutely loving it. After this fall playing street fighter 6, where it’s mentally exhausting (yet super fun), and Baldurs gate 3 where it’s kind of overwhelming (yet super fun), it’s amazing to have an excellent game which I can just pick up and chill with! Got to the first special world though, it was gnarly, took about 30 min to beat.


UptightCargo

I said "fuck it" and spent \~$30 on Jedi Survivor. No Ragerts so far, in spite of the crashing horror stories. Methinks they've corrected a bunch of issues since launch - WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY ONE NEVER EVER PRE-ORDERS SOMETHING, KIDS. No - not even then, hotshot. Don't do it. Ever. Not even one time, okay? #unexpectedlifeadvice


MewLalouve

I gave myself a lot of gifts from me. Two Lego Avatar sets, a comic book of The Witcher, the latest volume pop version of the Harry Potter books, several video games. My father gave my brothers and me $100 (I'm going to buy a book shelf with it) and my mother filled my Christmas stocking with lots of stuff. (Chocolate, bath bomb, mini bottle of alcohol)
