I didn't know what I wanted for Christmas, so I didn't ask for anything. In the end, I recieved a bunch of Amazon gift cards, some clothes, a Fire Emblem video game, and a Pidgeot plushie. I like the plushie the best.
:)
My girlfriend bought me the game Cyberpunk 2077 on my Steam account. I thought it was hilarious, cause my computer doesn't cover the minimum specs.
On the plus side... when I buy a new computer, I will have a legal version of the game that will be patched and fixed, so that's nice. She was happy with her gift too.
I told my parents I didn't want any gifts as gifts are expensive and my mom and dad are pensioners. I said coming home and seeing them is the best gift for me and my dad making homemade "Babek" (Bulgarian delicacy). They agreed and they didn't get me any gifts... instead they paid the taxes for my cars for 2021. All of them! Told me they knew my business was shut down again and I was losing money, so they wanted to help out a little, as it's what parents do.
I didn't know how to react to this. It was a mix between very grateful, a bit angry and their act of kindness just supercharged my self hate. Felt like absolute trash for getting them small things they wanted from a few months back... (sowing stuff you can only get in Germany and a nice cutting board for my mom) and fancy Pike bait for my dad (Again not available in Bulgaria).
They were happy, but I wasn't. Man, I do not wish self hate on anyone... you'd think I'd be happy. But here I am well past midnight, again, in the living room, drinking whiskey and contemplating.
Happy New Year to you! I hope you enjoy your game.
It's best not to wallow in self hate. I did that a lot and all it did was create a wall of apathy and make me lose interest in everything. It sounds like your parents love you very much. 😊
Thats hilariously cute. a few years ago or more, my EX bought me 5 Nights at Freddy's but accidentally bought the PC download version off of steam (only had my mac at the time). Now that I have built my own PC, I COULD play it if I wanted to.
I know that feeling. thats why I don't allow myself to sit and contemplate, lest I drag myself into a sad state of depression.
Yeah... Christmas always does bring out the worst of my depression and self hate.
Parents getting older, feeling like you haven't done anything, even if you have.
On a more positive note - she knew I wanted the game, cause I watched trailers for it and stuff, but she never thought that a 7 year old laptop just won't do with the new games. Not to mention every new game seems to require at least 50-100GB of free space. You could fill up a hard drive with 6-7 AAA games.
Anyway, have a good night (or day, depending where you are)
Thanks! Its currently 10:50 pm here as I lie awake, unable to sleep knowing that I am going to my grandmothers house tomorrow to disconnect my grandfathers home office studio (finally!)
Did yall get what you wanted for the holidays’?

First off - Happy Christmas!
