Super Mario and some sweet tracks. My secret Santa really knows me! Thanks Cyframe!
I'm so glad you're enjoying this stuff! Merry Christmas man!
My secret santa for this year was
@That_Random_Guy . And oh baby! Where do I even begin?
A lot of this stuff was inside of some custom painted and 3d printed boxes for the occasion. The allen wrench to open said boxes was also included. I really love the faded look, it captures the steins;gate aesthetic amazingly well! What wasn't inside of these beautiful custom boxes (but I should clarify was included and wrapped instead) was a figure of Kurisu from Steins;Gate and a 3d printed shell for a clock which will soon make more sense.
Before we got to what the boxes had in them, let's appreciate how this beautiful figure looks on my desk since we can't really see it too well in its original box:
As someone who's wanted anime figures for a while now and is yet to own any, this alone means a great deal to me!
Let's look at what's inside those wonderfully custom boxes he sent me:
On the left we've got a mostly unpopulated PCB, above and below it are some bags containing the components necessary to make what will be a nixie tube clock which will go inside of the grandfather radio styled shell presented in the first image. I should mention that the nixie tubes are a reference to Steins;Gate for those who aren't aware.
On the right we've got Eden of the East on a Blueray + DVD combo set which I'm really excited to check out!
Finally in the middle, we've got Steins;Gate, The Steins;Gate Movie, And the limited edition of Steins;Gate 0 which included some other wonderful goodies that I'm excited to make use of!
Here we can see the art cards, phone stand, and phone strap that were included:
The phone stand will be especially useful for when I'm working on projects. I've lost count of how many times I've propped my phone up against something only for it to fall over while I'm trying to look at a diagram. The phone strap will be great too since I've recently gotten into running/jogging.
That_Random_Guy went WAY above and beyond with this gift and I sincerely cannot thank him enough for all of this wonderful stuff! The amount of thought and time that went into the boxes alone means so much to me that I'm putting one of the boxes on display in my room. You really outdid yourself this year man! Thank you ever so much again!
P.S.
He didn't actually send a sock with the gifts, I just put it in the photo for those who'll get the joke.
