RaeAnn and I do too much traveling in December to properly decorate the house (or to have time to appreciate it if we did), but we work with what we've got.

Decorated with my wife and kids :)

Is anyone playing Atlas?

Hoping we can get a group together x

I've seen it come up as an advertisement on my Facebook feed on occasion, but I haven't downloaded it.  I'm not a big mobile gamer unless it's one I can play offline while on a flight or when traveling.  Do you have to be online to play this one?

Yes, it's an MMO. I can't really advertise for the game as it is a carbon copy of every mobile MMO in existence. You build your base, your units/ships and explore the universe, mine resources and fight NPCs and players. Building your outpost one structure at a time which costs resources and time. Time runs when you are logged off of course, so your 7 hour OPS upgrade is finished when you log on the next day. Timers can be skipped via items which can also be bought with real money. Real money also buys your ships double HP and damage so a paying player is literally always better than  a F2P one. Like every mobile MMO it's made for whales.

I'm not a mobile gamer either, I literally only play because it's Trek and I can quest and level my ships during my lunch break. It's reasonably fun as far as mobile games go, save for the moment you meet a player with kyrillic letters in their name that single handedly wipes the map of all players because they bought all upgrades 😜

Conclusion, it's a game to have silly fun.

Some very nice trees here!

Should anyone play this, I have a very casual alliance in there (I mostly drop in during lunch breaks and I don't spend real money thus I will never compete with the whales ;) ) called [PIGS] Pigs in Space. My username is Angrytarg just like here, maybe just drop a message. Or we can use this thread to discuss the game which is, basically, your default mobile game with a KT Trek skin.

Ooooo, nice gift, @Niko!

My Secret Santa gift came in the mail today, so first off COFFEE! The crew of the ship will sleep in peace tonight knowing their Captain has coffee. The chainmail dice bag is amazing, the hubby chirped off right away "dont go using that as a flail on me now." (Anger not the gamer wife with a bag full of dice.) The sticker is just fun, and.... well the last gift in the box.  A soft kitty plush that sings soft kitty.  My hubby stole it from my hands squeeeing and bouncing in excitement before I had to steal soft kitty back.

I got mine a couple days ago, but I'm just now getting to taking pictures.



The book(sketch/notebook) and socks are my favorite. The bookends will have to be set aside until I get a proper bookshelf setup again, they are very nice, and travel mugs never go out of style. 

A shot of the socks in action.

Turns out it's hard to get a good pic of your own feet(at least if you want the image on the socks to look right).

Waitaminnit... this m/o seems familiar. *checks name on box* *checks last years Secret Santa thread* ... is this @DrTheopolis?

Mine is pretty much an all-out Trekmas Tree.



There is a total of 27 Star Trek ornaments on that tree. If you'd like to see other angles to try and pick them all out, check out the photo set.


_{Edit: Sorry for crappy photo quality, the Samsung camera app has no stabilization and tapping the shutter always introduces some blur.  #Treeidol}

I went with the Silver and Purple this year.. and bows because i saw someone have them on the tellybox programme and it looked nice.. with some Traditional British Crackers (which I learned last year that people from the USA have no idea what they are) from Iceland hidden within the tree

My secret santa delivered his present in two wonderful parcels! The sneaky devil must have spent a little more, but I'm absolutely chuffed right now. Diolch yn fawr bach.




PS. Who ever it is has the nicest "primary school teacher" handwriting I've seen in a long time! xD

PPS. The jam making box contained awesome things. Which I didn't quite notice at first! a cute little stocking (with my own name on!  filled with amazing things, some tea and treats - nothing like the taste of home! and a Fuzzy notebook
