Thar

The last 2 years we traveled for the holidays, but this year we stayed home while one of my sisters came down. My other sister got Covid, so she had to stay home, but we got her on a Zoom call yesterday morning while we opened gifts, so that was nice. Gifts received: Air fryer, a sweatshirt, a golf polo, & Nunn Bush Moc Toe shoes (from mom and dad) Packers-themed stainless steel drink holder & putting practice mat w/ golf balls (from my sisters) A couple bags of treats and a few toys for my cat Typical stocking fillers: apple, orange, jelly beans, bag of Emerald nuts, a pocket puzzle, and a pen and notepad $25 Amazon gift card (from my aunt) $50 Visa gift card & a train tree ornament (from my paternal grandparents) 1 troy ounce of silver (from my maternal grandma) Gifts given: Framed 24"x32" original versions of the 3 pastel pieces I posted in Graphic Showcase, each going to whomever's pet it is on the piece. Wishing everyone in the Cardmaker community a happy holidays!

The last of my Christmas gifts for my family: This is Jordy, my mom and dad's chocolate lab, wearing the jersey of his namesake!

First impressions of JP Gen 6 so far?

I totally missed this. I'd be a foot taller for better reach.

Honestly, I just love them all equally now. My "ranked" list was merely from first impressions, but I just appreciate what they all bring to the circle. Already with the collabs with the JP members as well as EN Gen 1 is nice to see, especially considering collabs are more common to see with their spontaneity. If I were to pick a favorite tho, at this point Hakos is just a safe bet on all accounts. Outgoing, energetic, and the perfect combination of cute, quirky, and cool. I LOVE seeing her interact with her senpais and even her crush, Roberu, so naturally, it's just good vibes all around.

Another soft pastel piece of my other sister's dog: Millie

It's pork shoulder slow-cooked in a peanut-butter and jelly-based marinade until tender, and it was incredible. In fact, the inspiration was from my mention of something I made for myself some time ago: A pork-chop PB&J, made of a pork-chop that I pan-fried in butter, chopped up into strips, and made into a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly. I highly recommend both.

Kyuukoku Unbalance - BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense Oratorio the World God Only Knows - The World God Only Knows We're Not Alone - Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin Resonance - Soul Eater

I forgot that was what a group of crows was called, lol As for me, people dressed up at work and we had a shit ton of themed donuts. I didn't have anything to go as, so I just taped 5 cents to my back and went as Nickelback. Then yesterday my parents made peanut butter and jelly pulled pork sandwiches and sent me home with some of their stash, which was pretty neat.

Round 2 has ended! The following contenders will be moving onto the next round: Cyclops Dragon Blaster Batmobile (1989) Sports Coupe Shark Bite Arachnorod London Bus Loopster 75 Kenworth W900 Stegosaurus Sharkruiser Bubble Gunner Volkswagen Drag Bus Roller Toaster Oscar Meyer Wienermobile Red Baron

My favorite I'd have to give to Dread Flight for Shield of Chaos, specifically paired with Thunder/Tempest Flourish (or both if I managed to get the duo.) Great for crowds and very fun to watch it clear rooms, especially in Styx when everything's empowered and you're in such close quarters. My least favorite we can agree that Twin Shot is just balls. When I'm playing Bow, precision is key, and having my shots fire anywhere except where I'm aiming is just not something I find useful by any means.

What's your favorite Daedalus Hammer upgrade? What's your least favorite?
