It's something that happened a few years ago, was wondering who would be up for doing something like this?
Can we do a secret santa?

Oh man, I love ideas like these, super cute. Appears the last one was 5 years ago, with modest sign ups. I'd definitely be down for it if it came back.
I love the idea.
Last couple of years I done at work, each time I spent quite a lot of money on whoever I had gotten. BUT both years I didnt get a gift in return lol. Wasnt just me. Quite a few people didnt participate properly..
To make it work, maybe we should all contribute like $5 or $10 dollars to someone who holds on to the money(preferable @shaunj66 or @Costello )

wait, when you do this, don't all brazilians "enrolar" or don't they do "sacanagem" to all their friends? ;O;
huu, can someone explain how secret santa works? never paid attention to it, all i know it is a gift exchange thing
how fo you guys will proceed with imports\fees and shit that may end up fucking your arse by customs?
The way it typically works is, you have everyone sign up (presumably even number of entrants) and raffle them off into pairs. Sometimes to know who you're gifting, sometimes it's totally random, and all you know is the address, but the receipient isn't supposed to know who's getting them what. Then you send a little something to them, usually something heartfelt or Christmas themed. Or anything, really.

it's a joke... i have brazilian friends who are always saying those 2 words all the time
my brazilian friends always think other people are trying to screw them (and are so used to it lol, in the area they live it seems it's a pretty common thing, or it's just culture, i don't really know..)
i was making a reference\joke about it..
hmmmm i understand, and yeah its normal with some people, but i stopped use these kind of jokes like years ago, and i don't see so much people using
If people are up for this I might make a sign up tonight when I get home

Is there any chance if we do get this going it can be on front page? Just so it doesn't get eaten by the forum
10 quid limit is fine.
However, if someone doesn't like pokemon for example and gets a pack of pokemon trading card then it would essentially be a wasted gift.
Ofcourse, gaming related but it just makes it easier to pick a gift for the person.
If it was me mum, I'd given her me groceries list.
I'm terrible at picking gifts ;p
I get it, the only way to counter that I think would say you say you're in on the thread, if there is anything you're not into you write it on the thread, it is upto the person who gets you to then to check the thread and see if there is anything they should stay away from

Sounds fair.
I personally don't mind anything really, I love little statues or figurines be it pokemon or not but some might not like it.
Just trying to ensure that no disappointments will be made ;p

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
