Got a picture off of my Niece and Nephew which is nice - otherwise nothing as we don't buy each other now and just buy the children presents. Christmas Dinner is the best present. :D

Why is BSG rated 18?

Snapping a babies neck, throwing people out of airlocks, plucking out someone's eye, torture and rape of a enemy of war plus general depressingness?


A fair bit of nice stuff from the family but I love this off my best friend-

I'm pretty notoriously hard to buy for in all fairness so most people know better and simply get me cash or gift cards.

I got absolutely nothing. That's what comes from having Jewish parents (who don't celebrate Hanukkah either actually) and a Mrs who insists on spending christmas in another country to me.

I did buy myself a 980ti and a 27" 4k IPS monitor though.

Wait, so you got a nice gpu and monitor and get a break from your family? Sounds good to me!
