Secret S/a/nta threadNew Thread, last one for the weekend, posting as assignments are up.As always, >If something looks weird in your assignments, email us.>If you haven't gotten your assignments, email us.>DON'T FUCKING BUY ANYTHING for the first few days. Something always gets fucked up, someone always asks to drop. Someone always tells us "Oh I signed up for international shipping but I didn't really mean it" and needs to be reassigned. After the 5th, you're free to go. We'll go from "You've been reassigned" to "Hey, have you bought anything? If not, can we reassign you?", then.
Reminder that Ontario is BANNED starting next year.
>>283498443What’s the point of a new thread if assignments may very well get reassigned? Shouldn’t we just wait until the 5th in that case?
>tfw you lived long enough to finally see toronto get banned
>>283498574All of Ontario, not just Toronto. Soon, all of Canada.
>>283498545I think just for general discussions about /ss/ while people are getting their assignments. Especially since last thread pretty much got flooded after the Ontario ban was announced
>>283498604Yeah, general discussion like how Toronto got banned for 500 posts, great idea
>>283498545not sure if you're new but these are generally for discussing lists and talking with anons you have for lists. they always say not to buy stuff until a few days after. people drop out, have shipping/logistic issues, demand not to get the same person again, and other shit
>multiple people on my list this year who like gundamoh yeah it's all coming together
>>283498649You know you can just ask to be matched with people who have Gundam on their wishlist?
What's the card plans this year? I bought some ribbon and I'm gonna try to glue it into bows to put on my drawings. The shop had ready made bows in the same ribbon, but the knots were too thick for card postage. I saved some wrapping paper last year that can be the backgrounds. I want to try something collage-y like anons have sent me before.
>first thing on anon's wishlist is NIKKEShould I grinch?
>>283498705I normally make normal cards, but I've been kind of debating on making one of those fancy cards that open vertically or like a double sided one this year.
I'll admit, the fact my entire province got banned because of a meetup from ages ago and an anon giving a card with a jak on it and a garbage bag full of gifts that he said were pagpag is very very funnyI can only assume there's more to it than that, but what could Ontario anons possibly have done on signup no less to cause such a response
>>283498733Yes? There isn’t even an anime of that.
Post my initials please thank you very much
>>283498733if it's nikke and nothing else, yes?
>>283498887Why is NIKKE on there at all
>>283498917I guess cause gacha story is similar to visual novel except each chapter is pay/grindwalled. A lot of their media has slowly bled into /a/, judging based on the gacha threads that do appear here.
How hard is it to create a script that doesn't make the same assignment from previous years. Have you tried asking chatgpt for help Santa?
Remember, if you got a wishlist with vtubers or gacha shit and not grinching, you are part of the problem.
>>283499017Very, very simple. It’s plain incompetence and shows they were too fucking dumb to split this years entries from last years because they were checking white listed anons.
holy samefag
>>283499027If I got an anon with vtubers, I’d grinch. I got one with gacha but it’s a small part of an otherwise entirely anime list.
>>283499036b8 used to be believable
>>283499064Please explain how that’s bait, you nonce.
>>283499052I'd say no exceptions. Gacha is even a bigger cancer
>>283499017I used the same list as last year with a few minor tweaks because the deadline was in 2 hours and I needed to go to bed .Sorry
>>283498931glad to see that you liked my list! I'll look forward to it! feel free to ask in the threads if you have any questions on my list
>>283498597And surrounding cities. These santas did the right thing for once. But I doubt they will keep their word
>>283499155The surrounding cities of Canada?
>public banning>followed by hours of attempted shit flinging and trollingah I see
Nice list but idk what this anon wants in terms of merch, I can't gift him a car.
>>283498695Wait I can ask??? Fuck
>>283499155You retards are delusional if you think the Santas would go back on their word. The few anons who got shit on can suck it up, it’s better for everyone that the ban sticks
I'm legitimately too autistic to ask to be paired with something specific. I'd feel like a nuisance
So, hypothetical question, hoping a Santa can answer. Now that the can of worms has been let loose, what’s to stop the Toronto anon(s?) from signing up next year with a non-Toronto address just to fuck over participants? Like, if they don’t actually want to receive anything themselves, it’d result in mass grinching.
>>283499261We will likely get a skin color check next year.
>>283499261That's easy, we ban all the non-Toronto addresses too so they can't pull any funny business.
>>283499279Is this AI?
What is it about Canadians, specifically Ontarians, that give them such a bad reputation? They're always the ones getting ridiculed for doing and saying stupid shit, to the point that they're banned from the /toy/ secret santa as well. I'm Ontarian myself and I'm wondering what exactly it is that separates us from the rest in terms of sheer unlikability.
>>283499303seems like it
>>283499320Look in a mirror.
>>283499181Not with that attitude you can't.
>>283499320You know the answer anon.
>>283499320It probably only gets worse this year with all the north american cross border tariffs going on. Many might just buy 50 bucks worth of christmas cheer, get slapped in the face with 30-200% tariffs, and choose to grinch.
>>283499320>They're always the ones getting ridiculed for doing and saying stupid shit, to the point that they're banned from the /toy/ secret santa as well.No? I haven't been banned, I was the one who had to deal with other leafs dropping out midway every year
>>283499449From /a/ /ss/ or /toy/?
>>283499449For now
>>283499320My guess is our brand of autism directly irritates other brands of autism. That and a little racism.
I guess I’ll just see the Ontario anons at AN
>>283499320I assume it's stuff like this>>274115416
>>283499619I don't see the problem here.
>>283499477For /toy/>>283499520Ah
I am once again offering cards to any anon who wants a char (and Gundams themselves, I suppose) card. Offering to anywhere with no need to send one back
>>283499692Are you sending to Ontario?
>>283499702Sure why not
Woke up to a few emails from the Santas shuffling my anons around. I think my assignments this year areWG from PL for the giftandN from MYAP from ITIP from OKfor the cardsLots of different continents this year, so I'd better get them sent early.
>>283499709Well you shouldn't.
>>283499719I just won't send one to (you) then. Anyone else is welcome
Can anyone tell me why Ontario is banned?I've done antigrinch the last two years and the gifts were both going to can adia Is there just one guy who is being a grinch so they decided to bam the whole prefecture?Was the 3am anon Canadian? I thought that was more funny than creepy when I heard about it.
>>283499759Apparently high grinch rates. Non-stop shitposting about Canada didn't help.I'd also place blame on the fact that some Canadians did something stupid, people latched on and shitposted ironically (or to le meme), which then fueled a cycle of other shitposters jumping in making the whole thing blown out of proportion.I mean, truly, did anyone actually think pagpag was in consideration? Most probably didn't but then again there is a 100% chance that come the second week of December we'll have to handhold a non-zero amount of people through the process of writing an address on an envelope and going to the Post Office.Unfortunately, instead of shitposting about Canada, it will be replaced with shitposting about Canada beingn banned. Instead of, you know, posting about Christmas.
>>283500239>pagpagNo, that was someone from that actual region or a troll politely asking if they could send pagpag aka literal fucking garbage, and then Canadians seemed to love it once the pagpag anon or someone started seething about it (rightly) being mocked
>>283500340It's fucking sad /a/ will fall for the most obvious falseflag these days.I remember that post, you're actually braindead.
>>283500463Huh
>>283500340You are one of the dolts I was talking about. Nobody with above room-temp IQ would actually believe someone would send literal guttertrash through the mail for a secret santa exchange.
>>283500523I don't know, you sound like a pagpag-sending backpedaler to me
Am I crazy or is anime merch way more expensive than it was last year?
>>283500493Do you thick motherfucker need to be spelled out that >>272070719 this faggot is a canadian shitposter that read the first sentence of the wikipedia article for pagpag and came here to start shit, and not an actual philipino? Cocksucker its slum food, not a "delicacy", use your brain.
>>283500559Everything costs more now. Even my card-making supplies prices went up.
Gift:AP from Italy What a huge wall of text! Some obscure stuff as well. I'll see what I can do for you during my vacation in Japan Whitelist Cards:SH from NYFV from ItalyZME from IrelandYou're all in good hands!

Sorry in advance for my toddler drawing skill
>>283500582That seems like a genuine post to me.
>>283500239What was the bag of garbage then?
>>283500239But shitposting about Canada is better than Christmas
>no snickers>no snickers>no snickers>no snickerspoor lad
>>283499181I realize now that I didn't mention anything about what kind of things I want either. I'm fine with anything though
>>283501330Is it okay if I send great depression potato soup to my recipient in addition to their gift? It’s a delicacy in my country so I felt it would be appropriate, alongside Christmas chocolates and cocoa. I know people might be adverse to it so I wanted to ask to make sure.
>>283500582Jesus, people are racist AF in that thread ridiculing other cultures like that. I am glad that canadians are getting what they deserve now.
>>283501633Nice troll
God tier assignments this year, that's all I can say. Thank you based Santas. Maybe I'll post initials later, after I recover from my hungover. Assignments were so good that I had to drink to celebrate.
I've been reassigned from one of my card assignments. Does this mean I don't have to worry about being reassigned again? I want to get started on my gift anon already
One of my card anons is from Ontario and his list is giving off huge red flags.He's on the whitelist though.
>>283501629We have some classic raw meat dishes over here, those would also do great in mail. With some luck I'll recieve authentic raw fish for christmas in return.
>>283494730>character preferencesFor each of the series I listed, I'd say: Madoka, Omori, Rozemyne, Rika/Satoko, Yuki, Shiro.
Do you have to send snacks if it just a card ?
>>283501791No, you can be lame.
>>283501729>Does this mean I don't have to worry about being reassigned again?Not necessarily. I got one reassignment for one of my cards and am waiting for another.Best to wait until the fifth to get started in earnest.
>>283501737What could possibly be a red flag outside of literal vtuber and gacha stuff in their wishlist?>normalfag reaction imageNever mind, your opinion is worthless.
>>283501800Thats what I thought
man everyone i got lives in the literal middle of no where how am i going to stalk you now in a town of 5 people?
>>283502331gently
>>283501315Just use chatgpt like normal people
>>283501801>reassignment for cardsNot worth waiting for, just make one more
>>283499200Screencapped, see you next year
>match lists like 30-40 anime>I don't know most of them and the ones I know are not really my tastesPlease reassign me Santa.
>>283502661One of my card anons was my giftee. As tempting as it is to just send him two cards, I asked for another assignment instead.The other came from the Santas.
>>283502707What a great reason to try one or two of these anime, hate it and gently bully your anon for it.>>283502745>One of my card anons was my gifteeIn that case I see the point and would do the same.
>>283502707probably my list, my bad
>>283502923Did you really need to say>I like anime X, my favorite character is Y50 times
Hey AP from Poland who is your favorite Tsukihime girl?
>>283502954That would be Valov, I am into boys.
>>283502953well mine was slightly more in depth than that i think
>>283502953What would your ideal wishlist look like? I feel like I fucked up every year.
>>283503023My complaints are mainly about the volume.
>>283503061yea it was a lot (if it was mine) I plan to cut it down more next time To be fair i got one that listed the same show 10 times
Just realized I listed about 50 shows in total on my gift wishlist. Didn't think it ended up being that many.But about the last two thirds were just meant to be looked at if anon didn't find a show they watched or that clicked with them among the others I listed, and I tried ot make that clear.
>>283503116Don't worry, I have the perfect gift for you. 25$ anime keychain pack from AliExpress. I am sure it will include some keychains from your list
I have the Santa's files in my drawer, I will release the names on the list soon
>>283503320its over
keychains are cool okay
>had a gag gift in mind>anon's wishlist lines up so perfectly you couldn't have written it
>>283503562Please don't send me something I can't resell.
>>283490341Please have fun drawing my card!>>283491155>extremely mediocre craftworkDon't say that, I'm sure you'll make an excellent job! And I'm glad that you liked the characters that I mentioned.
>>283503590Is your address same as last year? gomen I still haven't watched anything from your list
>>283503590NTA but I'll certainly have fun drawing your card, don't you worry.Akira is cute, so she'll be making a cameo appearance
POST MY INITIALS ANON I'VE BEEN WAITING
GiftIS(?) from ILI can't make something super cool like you did as i don't have the means here sadly but i'll try my best to make something "higher effort" Looks like an official piece too, very well done! CardsAB from UTI've at least watched almost all of the stuff there , maybe not as in depth into the main series listed as you but its still niceMB from Germany Good choices, smug is best AP from ItalyWe both have an interesting match somewhere, maybe more surprising for me than youARP from SpainI'll take heed of the warning , even though i did want to put something extra inim not into the main thing you mentioned much sorry , so i dont think i can come up with something nice for it but maybe i will or just pick one of your other optionsMS from PAmaybe i'll make something with what you posted PLUS shill something i likeMK from Polanda very good choice in there, you will find out whichVery unfortunate for everyone listed to get my high effort yet still mediocre looking work i will still try harder
I am specifically NOT posting your initials anon
> asked for two cards>only get one match:(
>>283503944Later.
>>283503944Sorry, I don't post initials if anon's wishlist is shit
AD of MexicoPC of Hong Kongdo either of you drink coffee and would be able to receive it from the states right now?BR of CA I conveniently already know your answers!
>>283503944I am constantly checking for my initials but refuse to post the ones I got before shipping stuff.
>>283501413>ain't gettin no snickersdab on this loser and get him mars
I'm probably gonna try making a small figurine for my giftIt's probably gonna be shotty though
>>283503991ANON I FUCKING SWEAR IF YOU DON'T POST MY INITIALS I WILL be very sad and think you hate me now :(
Do I really have to watch Zero no Tsukaima? Seems like yet another KugiRie tsundere show which there were plenty around when that aired.
>>283505000Just read the plot summary and pretend that you watched and enjoyed it a lot in your card
What are the best figs for resale value?
>>283502681They are not dropping the Ontario ban for one or two unlucky anons. They’ll see how much smoother the event went this year and keep it in effect next year.
I honestly still dont believe Canada even exists, you seriously expect me to believe that US has a little hat where people speak french?
Damn, I somehow missed the 1st thread now that I check out the archive>>282939247Glad to see you got it in the end! With the power of The Merry One maybe that rotating postal service strike won't obstruct Anons this year!
>santas from shitholes like South America, Poland and Italy>everything goes fine>santas from fucking Canada >ruin everything for everyone
Cards forBG of UKMB of GermanyWG of PolandF of CA
>>283505374They didn’t ruin anything for anyone except fellow leafs, so no loss.
>>283505393If anything it is a net positive since we don't need to hear about Canadians bitching about their postal service
ADL from South AfricaPlease check with the organizers because your wishlist came empty to me. Might be a script bug or something.
>>283505311But I got a card from Canada two years ago, it has to be a real place. And the mailman made me pay 15$ for it. That fucker.
>>283505419They only banned one part of Canada. Hopefully they ban the entire country next year. I know there’s whitelisted anons that are going to keep participating from here on out, but if I get one of those, the ban is a go ahead to put in less effort for those anons.
>>283505458Use AI for your cards and get AliExpress or Temu stuff for your anon if they're from Ontario, easy as pie.
>>283505508The Santa Mami from the previous thread didn’t look too far off ngl
>>283505443anon, it's full of Akarin!

>>283503670Yeah, it's still the same address. I haven't moved since 2020.>>283503686Oh, you can bet I'll have tons of fun drawing your card too. In fact, what I'll feel will be something closer to ECSTASY. For almost two years now I've had this really stupid idea for a card that only you would be able to appreciate, and now I can finally put it into paper. I can FEEL the Christmas. Also, thanks in advance. Akira a cute.
>>283507303Acguy, Zaku I and Zaku II (not the homo pink version)
>>283501776Thanks, that'll help
So what is your card generation workflow? I am thinking of using gpt to create "handmade" drawings of existing art. I may or may not trace over it but desu it looks good as is Alternatively I am experimenting with some models using comfyui. They look promising
>>283507303I like the Zeta and the Fenice from GBF.
>>283507100How do you annoy them behind the scenes? I’m lucky to get a response half the time for my giftee questions,
>>283507747Think of all the anons over the years who had technical issues and sperged out in the thread rather than talking things out. All those people.
>>283507687At the moment im putting up reference pictures of characters in PureRef. Then I sketch out the picture using computer, print it out, trace over the sketch and paint it.Thinking about testing out airbrushing this time, I only have acrylics for scale modelling but i think they might work out fine.
>>283507303for me it's the calamity
>>283507785>everyone who had issues was a leaf
Im sorry anons. Is there a link or something by which i can read how this whole thing works?
>>283507687What model do you use, I’m struggling to get a good result
>signed up for maximum cards>will use AI for all of them>will do the same next year and the year after thatAnd there's nothing you can do about it, fucking luddites. I'll be done in a week tops while you're still playing with your crayons.
Is there a reason the Santas didn’t just follow the /toy/ Santas and ban all of Canada? I’m sick of their postal service every year fucking up, in addition to the reasons why leafs got banned already.
>>283508061>i will proceed to being pathetic>and you cant stop me!good riddance
>>283507303WaD my beloved
>>283508061>weekYou mean a day, depending on how many cards you have
>>283508020NetaYume Lumina seems alright. There is also a Lora that converts it manga style. It is a bit hit and miss though. You may need to create a bunch before getting what you wantI haven't experimented much yet
>>283508061Good for you, there is literally nothing wrong with it.
TS from Slovenia - expect lots of sweets and candies! I really like your list. Just to be sure, by "part 7" you meant the best JoJo part?Cards:GB from United Kingdom and JM from MD - I got you both, hope I will be able to send some additional goodies along with the card!
>>283508174I don't like sweets but I can give them to my little brother, thanks for the thought anon.I thought I removed Jojo from my wish list, did I misremember? Alright if you already started looking for it a Jojo gift is fine I guess.
How do you tell YGO card rarities? I'm guessing the more they hurt my eyes the rarer they are?
>>283508290you must get the 5 pieces of exodia and blue eyes white dragon right
>>283508290Are you getting your anon YGO cards? Seriously? No effort whatsoever.
>>283508290More or less. They've changed over time so it's hard to compare apples to apples for older sets vs new sets. Just focus on the rarities that look good to you, those are in more demand.
>>283508068Probably because their friends live in Canada, just not Toronto
>>283508121Thanks, I'll try these out.
>>283508247>I don't like sweetsIt's OK - If you prefer something that it not sweets I'll find you something extra, I have a lot to chose from in my country. Those kinds of things make an alternative to standard package fillers. About the gift - don't you worry, I was just making sure that I understood your list in full. However, if you don't like custom/handmade stuff, it would be nice knowing this in advance.
>not a single mention of initials or countryI'm getting so card grinched. I can feel it in my bones
>>283508371They are collectibles like figurines, what is the difference?
>>283505443i'll check, i think it was on my end
>>283508678Some rarities look like shit (maximum gold) so no one wants to buy them. Some cards are used often in competitive play, so there's higher demand as players want to trick out their decks with the nicest/most expensive rarities.
>>283508669I would prefer something I can sell or regift if I don't like it so no crafts please. Preferably send something unopened. Steam keys are fine too.
>>283508761What's the best resale item this year? Frieren figs?
>>283508290im guessing you got the yugioh guy toomy most recent interaction with ygo is kaiba saying sneed
>>283508778Yeah, something popular in normie world.
>>283508828I should have asked for CSM Reze figs too.
>>283508761>Steam keysWhat game
>>283508917I’d ask for Death Stranding 2
>>283508917FC26

Swaglord McMoney of OH as someone who shares alot of your favorite series, one of them is Upotte!! Do you have a favorite raifu from the series?
>>283509034I seriously hope that isn't your giftees name. They're either an unfunny teenager or an unfunny 40 year old.
>>283509034Hello! My favorite character is Curly, I would appreciate a gift related to him, thanks!
>>283509116Par for the course for what I’d expect with someone using that alias
>>283508068>/toy/ banned Canada because there were too many grinches from thereWhat causes this? I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.
Doubt the problem will go away by itself. Hypothetically, would low quality or spamming/flooding be better? I'm thinking the second one.
>>283509256Which problem?
>>283509034Maybe Saiga, used to own a Chinese clone of one.
>>283509256Janitors won't look at context and care and even when he cops one he switches IPs like he did last week.
>>283509256both
>>283508061If this are the people taking part in this event now, I don't think I'll sign up next year. I don't care about your card featuring pretty art, the point was about fellow anons giving a damn about each other.If you're going to treat this like a factory assembly line, I don't want to be a part of it. Might as well just email your gens since you're at it, physical letters are so slow and unreliable, amirite?
>>283509324So what, is everyone taking this lying down? I'm pretty sure at this point that it's multiple people/a bot/paid jeets. 3 reports flag a post GLOBALLY so enough of that will get the mods moving at some point.
>>283509320patrician taste, thanks pimp juice
>>283509256For me it's trolling outside of /b/ but all of the aforementioned apply as well. Obviously janny doesn't give a fuck because all of that sharty diarrhea stays up. I just hope it's the raiding shitters replying to themselves and not actual anons biting the laziest bait
I have ordered the material to make my gift.I do hope to have time to work on it this weekend
>>283509414Stop taking bait newfag, ignore it
>>283508014Search for these threads during october weekends or in the archieve, the op will explain. Lurk this year and make sure you remember next one.

Considering all the AIfags I'm trying to figure out a way to make my cards visibly as humanmade as possible.
>>283499692Could I still ask for one even though I didn't rejoin either of the SS's this year?
>>283509889Paint them using your blood.
>>283505384Initials spotted
>>283509766Oven bake clay figures are probably some of the easiest things to manage with little skill. Being able to constantly remold helps.>>283509889Pretty much all physical mediums you can visibly see having been applied to the card. Crayon wax sits on top, markers bleed a bit, pens leave grooves, etc.
Anyone feel like some jap yen coins? i have a massive bag thats just sitting in my drawer

I'm using Krita then making pop up cards. It's handmade enough, r-right?
>>283510259If you are not producing your own papyrus, it is trash.
BG from UK. Coffee, tea or cocoa?
>First sketch complete>And it doesnt look like hot garbageWell that was fast. Lets see what i think of it after a good nights sleep I bet it looks like hot garbage.
>>283503972Somehow I missed this post. Please have a wonderful time working on my card!
>>283509414Stop being such a bitch.
Gift:SW of NYNow's a good reason to watch more Satoshi Kon. Also thanks for including other interests, helps a lot with ideas.Cards:TD of GermanySome of the stuff on your list I've been trying to find time to watch. Now is that time.AK of GermanyWhen you say "artifacts" what do you mean?JH of OK>my kiddosNow this is some admirable devotion to your waifu.
is it ok if I just send the gift? without a card?
>>283495500You're good. The only actual figure I currently have is a little nendoroid of my wife, so avoid that I suppose.
>>283509414I know you’re just ranting but if I could get a postal service that could deliver in a timely fashion, that would be nice.
>>283510583The least you could do is write a short letter and doodle on it a bit.
>>283510583You should at least add a note that has a message on it. Like “Merry Christmas” at least.
>>283510452Cawfee
>>283509889Unless you plan on adding glitter or anything else that's tangible, it's hard to differentiate. The "draw x but like a child drew it" already fooled people years ago and that was with worse AI.
>>283509635>AI is no different than PhotoshopDon't lump us photoshoppers in with you lazy ass pieces of trash. We actually put fucking effort in to editing our cards. I spent hours manually replicating the presentation of a VN for a card last year, it was some of the most fun I've ever had. Points for making me bite the bait I guess, fuck you and your lazy ass mind.
>>283510583You should make a card for your giftee, don't you want to make your anon happy? If you really hate drawing there are other methods to making cards like cutouts or photoshop collage. Even a short letter saying what you think about his anime would do. Personally, I would rather my santa call me a fag with a shit taste than to send me a gift without a word.
>>283510748>replicatingYou mean something AI is literally built on and would have been fit for the task of? I don't even mean offence by this, I agree that Photoshop is better than AI, but this is the worst example you could have given.
just report the aifags
>>283510691Noted. Also while we're here, I just want to clarify. Do you own any books or mangos or doujins of the series you listed?
>>283510815Please tell me where using AI is against the rules. Even the /ss/ rules don't say that.
>>283510784Where's the fun in that though? Going through the trial and error of making things look right is a fucking dream, who wants instant gratification all the time?
>>283510848People with limited free time.
>>283510748Well, I am hand drawing my cards without the aid of computers and you lazy piece of shits disgust me.
>>283510873Well, I'm carving into stone tablets for my giftee and you disgust me.
>>283510848Have you considered that maybe some people don't enjoy drawing as much as you do?
Initials doko?
anon, do you like stickers ?
>>283510836A few doujins, no books.
>>283510924What kind?
>>283510914Your santa is yoo busy buying your gift and/or making your card :)trust the process
>>2835100435 Yen coins in with your cards would be a nice gesture
Did I miss the signup period again like a baka?
>>283510997Yes. You'll be fine for next year so long as you're not a leaf.
>>283510836Nothing from the shows or artists that I listed unless you're including stuff from the link to the full list I included.
>>283511015I thought I was on top of it searching through the archive every week but I searched secret santa and not secret s/a/nta so nothing popped up
I prefer AI art over some "art" that gets posted here desu. Doodling like a toddler does not make it cute or "soulful", it is just bad.
>>283510043I'd take yen coins, but they'd get spent on cheap konbini alcohol/snacks eventually
>>283510997I made a couple extra signups, send me an email and I will send a gift on your way.
>>283511079i'd expect nothing less
Does reporting have a longer cooldown if you do a lot of it in a sort amount of time?
>>283510938characters anon listed, cute chibis, funny ones etc
>>283511058Well, what if I ask AI to doodle like a toddler?
Reposting from last thread so anons can see their initials.MK of ABAP of RomaniaCC of ONI am working on your homo cards.
>>283511102There's a 2 minute timer, I believe for each.
>>283511272>CC of ON>homo cards
>>283511080sweetsecretsanta@santasquad.moeyou mean this email right?
>>283511524No, tofallbackss@gmail.com
>>283511524I am just fucking with you anon, it is over.But do send a mail to santa, maybe he will take pity on you. And next year search for "Santa" or "secret", not both.
>>283496799Oh fug, got the Nemofag as my santa. I'd be lying if I said your visible and recognizable autistic excitement didn't make me excited to have you. Please enjoy this shitty Nemo Santa edit I just made.
>>283511607>But do send a mail to santa, maybe he will take pity on you.That doesn't sound particularly fair, what about the other anons that didn't get a chance to sign up?
>>283511574>>283511607One always lies and one always tells the truthwhich do I believe
>>283510099I do use it to play but if I make it do my work for me I could also just pay my neighbour to do my cards for me. Hell, I could also just generate a whole /a/ for me including all the anons I like with just 5% shittaste and spamming, give me entire secret santa threads, 10/10 wishlists and fancy top cute cards with zero grinching.I don't care what you do but my anons will recieve what they signed up for, the good and the bad.
>>283511724>pay my neighbourYou don't have to pay for AI to make things for you.>neighbour>uLeaf detected.
>>283511649On this anon's defense, it sounds like he will never make it if santa does not pity him. We need some affirmative action for such "special" anons.
>>283511783That's the same for every anon who misses the deadline.
>>283510088Yay :)Email has been sent
>>283510564Thank you, I love them all so much.
To my dear JB from Czech Republic: Unfortunately for you, I am your Santa this year. God knows what kind of artistic abomination will I send to you for Christmas. I hope you're ready for that. Don't worry I will try my damn best. You deserve the most beautiful gift I can produce.
>>283507303MS18-E Kampfer. The whole rest of the Gouf family too, really.
>>283511783I'm special!?
>tfw can draw>but can't color for my lifeSorry anons who get my cards
>>283510564>what do you mean?Sorry, feel free to ignore, I just recieved a maybe somewhat radioactive item from a stalker anon once and wanted you to know that if you're into stuff like that I can appreciate it.
>>283512347>radioactiveNigga what?
>>283512381I assume they mean somewhat illegal
>>283512221I will cherish your black and white drawings!
>>283512347>stalker anon>radioactiveYou mean like shit from the fuckin Zone???
>>283512388>mailing illegal itemsYou people are retarded.
>>283512460They said a stalker anon, that wording makes me assume it was hand delivered.
>>283512491Can we ban hand delivering already? It's what lead to the leaf drama.
>>283512460I'm pretty sure some unhinged people will send cocoa to US anons eventually.
>>283512491I think they're talking about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which is a vidya about crazy slavs running around the Chernobyl Zone but its full of alien artifacts and mutants and shit trying to grab anything of worth.aka Anon got mailed a piece of the fucking elephants foot and almost got cancer for Christmas.
>>283512566Why are they talking about video games on /a/
>>283511803I sent a follow up question but just in case it happened to get filtered or eaten I'll mention it here. Reply at your leisure.
>>283512804Don't see it in my inbox, junk or spam folders
>>283512694I dunno anon, why are half the wishlists nothing but gacha and vtumors? Some things we'll never know.
>>283512904Are they? I only got one with gacha on it. Maybe I got lucky.
>>283512694It's somewhat anime now isn't it?
>>283513112The adaptation was horrifically bad.
SL from Finland I have a very important question for you. Did I send you a card already back in 2021? It was a card featuring Yunyun from Konosuba and Anderson from Hellsing. Asking for very important reasons.
>>283513318There is like 2 people participating from Finland. Take a guess.
>>283510564>Some of the stuff on your list I've been trying to find time to watch. Now is that time.Hope that includes my suggestion right at the beginning. Would love to hear your thoughts.
>>283512694Because there’s no /v/ Secret Santa
>>283505000Yes, it is the best kugyuu show after all.
>>283513543That one… I’ll save for later. Not exactly my cup of tea.
>>283507303I know I'll be hated for this but I unironically think it's cool
>>283513561Toradora exists and has a cult following here for a reason bucko.
>>283505000I know which anon you got. And yes you need to watch it.
INITIALS DOKO
>>283513572And you are right. About being hated, that is.
>>283512804I replied to your follow up email.

(Sorry international anons, too risky right now, hopefully next year I can send you something.)AK of GermanyYou're one of my homocards. Can you explain your wishlist better? I have absolutely no idea what series the characters you listed are from, aside from maybe Sakamoto-san (from Nichijou, right?).
>>283513781I'm sorry anon, I was just so... HUNGRY.
>>283503972Rad. I'm starting to work on your gift already hope you love it!
>>283513812 JH of OK I thought I mentioned I didn't have any allergies in my list but no I don't have any food allergies. Thank you for asking!
>>283513570It can't be helped. Do share your thoughts on whatever else you've seen/will watch, of course I'd love to hear them as well!
>>283513781Next weekend.
Dear Santa, if you have trouble with my gift you can just send all the Comic LO volumes you can grab. Thanks.
This year I got some interesting countries to send stuff to. I wonder how the post office niggas will look at me sending mail to the entire Eastern Bloc.
>>283513784anon-kun, please...don't spread hate on Christmas
AX of CA why did you put gacha on your wishlist
>>283513983That ain't me lmao. While it's true it may not be what I'd normally watch I'm going to try anyway. For Christmas.
>>283514342That is me and I don't know who this is. What the fuck?
First timer secret s/a/nta here. When is the best time to ship out cards? I have both domestic and international cards.
>>283514048It's a good thing Canada got banned because now anons can actually ship Comic LO to recipients.
>>283514597By this coming Friday at the latest.
>>283514597Best bet is to have everything shipped BEFORE Dec 1st. Earlier the better for International.
>>283514597As early as possible. Your postal service should have last posting dates if you want to slack off a bit.
>>283511913Godspeed. I'm looking forward to your artistic pile of Christmas cheer. Just remember to have fun and not overwork yourself!
MK of AB, are you allergic to anything?
>>283514628Y-you guys aren't that fast are you
>>283514710I get at least a few done by then, though I don't send them until the middle of November. The anons using AI can probably send them by Wednesday at the latest since they're not doing any work anyways.
>>283514597When they're ready, but earlier is better. Cards are usually opened before Christmas and displayed/used as decoration in the days leading up to it.Keep shipping deadlines in mind, too.
>>283514651>>283514657Thanks anons. I am hoping to use my vacation from work next week to make them and send out max Nov 21.
>>283514773>vacation from work>spending it on making cardsGrim
>>283513331NTA, but there's been years where Finland was like top 5 in Europe as far as participants were concerned
>>283514787Silly anon, cards aren't work. Making cards for fellow anons is the most joyful and merry activity there is.
>>283514787It's better than just sitting in my dark room watching anime, reading mango, and playing vidya until 04:00 AM, which is what I do when I'm not working.
>>283514869But that sounds based?
>>283514822>top 5 in EuropeSo like 3 participants
>see the initials of an anon I might know>have a horrible feeling they died in the last week
>>283515012You could confirm that instead of doomposting.
>>283513812I repent. I really shouldn't speak in riddles on top of listig shit. If it's annoying just pick your own fav/recommendations or grinch. Sakamoto is always welcome. If you're in the mood for drawing real humans the Jonson & Kazukabe (dorohedoro) duo is very fun though I promise. Just please don't skip Jonson.I also just now realized searching for haze and jonson without context results in a total disaster.
>>283515191>DorehedoroEugh.
next weekend I will surely see my initials
>>283515191>I also just now realized searching for haze and jonson without context results in a total disaster.
>>283513781I'm not posting cause I don't want the other anon to have any good or bad expectations
>>283513318That does sound an awful lot like me.
something I want to get clarified since this is my first timeI know that the person you are gifting to is the one sending you a gift as wellfrom what I can gather cards are completely randomized and the person you are carding is not carding you. Is that correct?
>>283515409>I know that the person you are gifting to is the one sending you a gift as wellNope. Can happen, but the matching is more like A -> B -> C -> ... -> A for both cards and gifts.
>>283515409Retard post
>>283510997Use neet catalog and make a filter that highlights and pins "s/a/nta" matching threads to the top. Then next year you'll see the threads so long as you're using neet.>>283513812If they put Karl then it's Kaworu from the Evangelion manga. >>283514597We don't know where you are so the time it takes for cards to travel is impossible to guess. For example, domestic cards in the UK can take two days to turn up, but in the US domestic means crossing UK sized states. Finish international first and do the domestics by order of who's furthest away to be safe. Plan this even if you think you'll be done all in one week, because it will save your ass if you get sick with flu or run into other trouble.>>283515191Wait I gotta make a reaction image for this.
>>283515267>I'm not posting cause I don't want the other anon to have any good or bad expectationsNot posting my initials gives me bad expectations though. It makes me think you hated my wishlist and you're going to grinch me and show my wishlist to your friends and make fun of me on a meet up in Toronto. So post them now or I WILL suffer the consequences
>>283515409>the person you are carding is not carding you.Someday they might
>>283514261Wasn't too aware of the gacha scene and just thought the character looked funny. Seen it in places outside of gacha (and on /a/) so I assumed it had been elevated past the gacha hellhole. Hindsight I shouldn't have put it there

>>283514597No rush, we generally aim for them to arrive two weeks after the new years for maximum Christmas spirit.
Does anyone here have Stirner Demiurge?
>>283509051that name goes so hard, wtf are you on

>>283516042Grok remind me to post my gift in 55 days
>>283514261You know your duty anon.
>>283513331At least 4 so far.
>>283513543Man why couldn't I get an seacat anon. I had such good ideas...
>>283515576tbf I think it makes things more exciting. I won't be posting initials of my anon either.
How do I sign up to gift someone?
>>283507303>forcing me to choose just one>liked the Zeong and the Sazabi as a kid>the Gyan might be my favourite overall>really warmed up to the Hyakushiki, F91, and Crossbone>want the Qubeley and its pilot to call me a good boy>can't hate anything in G Gundam>the Tallgeese is really neat as well, warming up to the Alex due to its fun kitGuess it's gotta be the Gyan
>>283518338Send an email to sweetsecretsanta@santasquad.moe but be quick, since sign ups end today.
>>283518338You time travel back a few days and not miss the deadline. Or wait another year I guess
>>283517410Grinching? Might have to at this rate.
>>283518408Just read that they ended nov 1? is it too late?
>>283518483No, they're allowing late signups because a few anons missed it this year. Today's the last day.
PC from Hong Kong consider yourself not grinched
>>283518483Yes.
>>283499320easier for autists to get away with being on welfare 24/7 which means they get to do nothing but shitpost all day off the taxpayer's dime.that and also everyone hates leafs fans.
>>283511324>there are ZERO guy characters you like and want a wholesome card ofNgmi
>>283518492I feel like you’re messing with me.. this isn’t very jolly. I’ll submit anyways
I hope anon doesn't bang on my door at 3am and try to drop gifts off or try and climb the fence again
>>283518497Thanks anon. Also add cyberpunk 2077 to my wishlist. I picked the anime up after making my wishlist and enjoying it so far. I would appreciate a steam key for the game. No need to mail anything, just mail the key to Santas and they can forward it to me.
>>283518571Make sure to tell them you are someone from Toronto that has just moved. There is a loophole with Toronto, they have to accept your entry.
>>283518586If I am coming in on 3am, I am at least expecting a BJ in return
>>283518571Ask the Santas to post to prove it.
>>283518634I'm from Ontario but not Toronto.
>>283518605Actually no, if you could get me Ghost of Yotei, that would be better, thanks.
>>283518800That's good enough, I'm sure they'll be delighted.
>got relocated to the International Space Station for work and won't be back home until February, but don't want to have a lonely ChristmasCan I offer to cover the shipping and have them just ship it here
>>283518887Maybe you should have considered that before signing up.
>>283518834Awesome, thanks, I'll ask them if I can send pagpag this year.
>>283518907They swore that they wouldn't put me on space duty this year
>>283513812>MM of RomaniaI forgot to list Motoko Kusanagi from GitS and CC from Code Geass if you want more options for girls. Eternal husbando is Kurama from YYH. Especially in his youko form, those fluffy ears and tail are love.Good luck with all those cards!
My anon has a 3 story house worth 1mil, wtf. looked it up on zillowdoes this guy even deserve a gift
>>283518922That sucks but still your fault.
>>283518941Why are you participating if you're going to get mad that some anons are doing well for themselves?
>>283518942Well, here's hoping that someone tries to hand-deliver like they did last year>3am in lunar time and there's a knock outside the airlock
>>283518941anon... all decent houses in any major city are worth at least a million
Feels like I'm the only one bothering to report this shit when the bot to participant post ratio has become 9:1 and nothing happens.
>>283519015>Every post I don’t like is a botDon’t even know what to tell you besides to stop taking the internet so seriously.
>>283518941>3 story house worth 1milIn other places that's a mid size apartment. As long as he has money left for postage everything is fine.
>>283498443How do I partake?
>>283519276wait 10 months...
>>283519276face the mirror at 3 AM and chant "retard" three times
>>283519276You wait until next October and follow the instructions in the thread.Speaking of following instructions, if you haven't received your assignments, please check the email address you used in your signup form. Assignments go out to whatever is in that field, not the one that you used to send us your information. Please also ensure that it is spelled correctly. I've had 4 people so far this year use a different email in their signup than they sent the signup from, and then email me asking where their assignments are.
>>283519399Relax bro, no need to be snarky about it. Where is your Christmas spirit?
>>283518941Nigga my anon's "house" is $140,000,000 on zillow. And I'm in the $25 tier...
You guys should be working on your cards instead of being retarded and stalking your anon's house.
Gift:BR of CADo you have a particular favorite of all the characters you listed? I have a plan.Whitelist Cards:DL of NCDepending on how much time I find, I might end up playing the game your first character is from so I can get better context. Otherwise know your card is safe and ready!
OK I am sold
>>283519643waiting for lazy ass santas to be done with reassignments
>>283519643But santas said to wait till the reassignment period was over...
>>283519480How strange I also got him in the $25 tier
>>283519480The handmade with love tier you mean.
>looked up my anon's house and it's worth $25 with no working facilities>we're in the $140,000,000+ tierI mean, I guess anon's been saving up
>>283519727>tfw no zillow prince assignment
>>283519672Model?
>>283519672Surprisingly good.
Anons, what kind of cards would you prefer to receive?>photoshopped card with something smaller drawn inside>regular card with christmas-themed character pop-out>regular card with regular drawing insideI used to send the first option but my printer is dead so I'm looking for other options before needing to spend 300 bucks in printer support
>>283520308can you not go to whatever local facility has a printer you can use
>>283520308Put characters from anon's wishlist and otherwise it doesn't matter
Pretty excited for Secret S/a/nta this year as I'm trying international cards for the first time!Cards: NV from UK CC from Canada OS from MS NB from CA MB from Germany Whitelist Cards: SM from UK VS from Netherlands I hope to do you guys proud, man I forgot to practice drawing again for this year.
>>283520308Crayon doodles paired with a small snack and excessive bullying because anon forced himself to watch several episodes of some shitty anime I listed.
>>283520792>snackWhy are americans like this? Does everything need to come with a snack?
>>283520704Oh, I'm one of these, I believe in you anon!
>>283520816No but I might eat your card without one.
>>283520308Blank card with a character drawn on the front and a message written on the back.
>>283520308Why can’t you do a Photoshop card with Christmas themed character pop-out?
>>283520816Yes, by law all gifts must come with a complementary snack, gun, or flag.
> no homo> yes to lewdWhat did homo mean by this?
>>283520816Why did you begin talking about Americans unprompted? Too much time on /pol/?
>>283520308Just feed your anon's wishlist to chatgpt and ask it to create a Christmas card out of it like normal people do.
>>283510997don't worry your about 11 months early
>>283514597I try to ship out before thanksgiving just so I'm sure they arrive a few weeks early. also I know if I don't I'm going to ADHD and leave it to the last minute
>>283521239The only way for people to avoid their wishlist being done by AI is to have obscure series with few appearances of their favorite character so it can’t be trained on it well.
I legitimately wonder what the most remote obscure place that somebody has ever signed up from is.there's got to be at least one person at some point who signed up from like siberia or antartica or something right?
>>283521405wonder if there's any from native mainland china, japan, korea, etc
>>283521372Even in such case, you can give AI an image of that character and make a christmas card using that character.
>>283521454>wonder if there's any from native mainland chinaThere was one a year or two ago>japanActually pretty common, I've had two Japanese anons (or possibly expats/students living in Japan)
Working on cards is hard. For the AI anons, how do you guys get the best outputs? I’m trying to make it so the end result still looks hand drawn.
>>283522408They took santaloli from us, no one has seen or heard from her in years.
>>283522018Please don't use AI for your cards, even if you suck at drawing. Your shitty scribbles will be worth far more to your anon than slop ever could.
>>283522018anon, drawing isn't the only way to make a card, AI should be your last resort.
I can't tell if people are just horrible at not taking bait this year or if it's just samefagging
>got someone normal and likable for my reassignmentWe're all gonna make it
I got a few people with chainsaw man on their list and I finally am getting around to watching it and now I feel bad just for judging and thinking it was just some typical shonen all these years
So what does the tariff situation look like for shipping from Canada to the US? I don't mind paying extra but I don't want my anon to have to pay for anything. I'm in the $150+ bracket.
AM from FLNice to get someone with decent taste for once. Prepare to get spoiled rotten.
>>283522657Listen to this anon, anons.
>>283519672forehead not big enough
>>283523199horrific. it depends on the origin of manufacturing of the product you want to send over, use zonos pre-pay to deal with the tariffs before you send. canadapost has a guide on this.China made goods specifically have increased tariffs, and you must declare before you ship it, from what im aware
>>283523461something I forgot is that you can just keep an eye on the tracking#, wait till package gets billed by customs, then pay the tariffs from your side online, and the package will arrive to anon without them needing to pay for it
Suddenly noticed none of the 20 wishlists I was given involved Dragon Ball. Interesting.
>>283521454I am in Japanthere was someone else here two years ago but recently I've had to send all of mine to Asia
>>283521405Though not so obscure, I am almost certain to be the only anon from where I live>Canary Islands
>>283521405Most obscure I've ever had is Singapore, but Romania this year is an honorable mention. South Africa, too. Now if a dude from Rwanda or Burundi showed up, that would really be something!
>>283503972I’m glad you’ve watched most of the series I listed and I look forward to your card!
>>283517787im a seacat anon, too bad you never got me maybe next year
>>283522657>>283522849I can’t draw at all. I’ve tried a bunch and it comes out looking hideous. My anon is not going to want indecipherable scribbles over something that looks recognizable.
>>283524203Look at the archive anon>>283515634Its going to be daijobu
>>283523780Anon... Romania has 20 million citizens. I wouldn't call it obscure. I got someone from Bulgaria which has about 7 million.
>>283524366Well, that's 16.8 million less than the example of Siberia OP gave so
>>283523780i haven't got general obscure places but i've gotten people that live a million miles away from civilisation in their own country
>>283524203My first santa sent me a card that looked like something a five year old could draw in 2 minutes. I cherished it anyway, much more than I would something made with AI. All you're doing is telling your anon that you're lazy and that you didn't want to put in the effort that comes with actually creating something. That'll have a much more negative effect on him than a shitty drawing would. Don't be that person.For the record, I suck at drawing too. The majority of us do. It doesn't mean we're content with giving our anons slop.
>>283524203Bro, people sign up for cards fully knowing and expecting to get mostly baby scribbles.It's part of the charm.
>>283504802AD here. I don’t drink coffee very often, but I do like it! I checked it looks like sending a small amount of roasted coffee through customs should be fine. Thanks a lot for considering an extra gift, I can wait to see your card!
>>283524418>telling your anon you’re lazyWell yes, I am.
>>283522018Chatgpt is smart enough to work with any query. Local models and workflow varies. Some use language models like Gemma so you can "talk" to it, some are simpler so you mostly just input tags to itGo to civitai and try to find an image similar to what you want. Then use the same models and load the image in comfy ui and hope that it comes with a workflow and tags
You niggers better not being using AI to replicate Christmas joy.
>>283525505you're getting artificial joy and you will be happy
>>283525532I'll kill you
Why didn't you guys ask Santa to not match you with AI chads if you hate AI that much
>>283525559If someone is so lazy and soulless to use AI in the first place, they'll just rationalize it as "I'm still handing drawing, I'm just tracing the AI."
>>283524418"Muh laziness" is a retarded argument. You put more effort into your card if you are using ai compared to drawing doodles. Hell, even finding a printer is more hassle compared to just doodling like a kid
AI scribbles have more soul than average anon's. Slap some stickers around and your match won't even be able to tell. If you really want to make it "legit" just trace over it.
I really hope the Santas make using AI a blacklist-able offence if they haven't already.
>>283525716They have, one of them mentioned it last year I think.
Well a lot of my card anons mentioned Frieren this year and I don't like to draw cards without being well informed about the character that I'm drawing, so I guess I'll have to watch that. Card research officially starts today, I am feeling the Christmas.
>>283525716I agree it should be but I think it'd be hard to prove a lot of the time. It just staggers me how some people decide to get involved in such a fun thing and then they put the least amount of effort into it possible.
>>283525716we'll just have to replace the santa with s/ai/nta
>>283525716>>283525726Found it
>everyone should waste time on cards reeeeeeWhy are you guys like this? I am already doing multiple crafts for the gift. I enjoy DIY but I hate drawing. Guess I am a lazy soulless person for using AI. I genuinely don't understand AI hate.The alternative is finding a fitting image on gelbooru and slapping a "Merry Christmas" on top of it in gimp.
>>283525757There is no homemade tier, it is homemade/25$ tier chud.
>>283525780I just boughted the card in nearby shop
>>283525780>waste time on cards reeeeeeNigga........ that's the fun part. I want something from YOU. From an /a/non. A five second second by YOU is worth more than the best AI pic in the world. What the fuck is so hard to understand connecting with another human for a holiday? Soulless nigga. Go buy a fig in Hell.
>>283525804Soul
>>283525812>that is the fun partNot for me. As I said I am doing multiple crafts already, you are getting something from me. A genuine question: is a gelbooru image with a merry christmas text slapped on top better than ai? Oh btw I will still slap "merry christmas" part manually since AI sucks at text. So you are just trading a gelbooru image with ai image.
>>283525867>A genuine question: is a gelbooru image with a merry christmas text slapped on top better than ai?Not really, because it's still low effort.You can do better without ever drawing anything regardless.
>>283525867>Not for meYou've got Christmas backwards, man. You really don't understand.
>>283500799hi, E here, all my cards should be WL, can you check again?
>>283515809I won't force you but sure, go ahead
>>283525908It goes both ways, I am perfectly fine with my Santa making my card the way he prefers it. An AI generated card is more likely to end up on my bookshelf than a soulful doodle.
>>283525953Those are two separate things. Your duty, as Santa, is to make sure whoever receives from you has a good time.
Anon didn't post my card and probably hated it so I'm using AI next time
If I get an AI card, I'm just not posting it.
>>283525984You would not know about it, I sent 3 ai cards last year and got no complaints.
AI art and then tracing it with a pen and crayons, who can stop you?
>>283525739>>283525984I'll just generate artificial happy responses when posting printed cards from now on. >>283525780We can buy the things we want ourselfs, we can commission or draw the pictures we like ourselfs. Getting full on AI cards is way closer to doing the amazon wishlist secret santas where you just get bought shit with a small note without all that chrismas hassle of wrapping and drawing. This event is all about that hassle though.
>"AI ART COULD BE ANYWHERE" he thought...>"AI ART COULD BE ANYWHERE... I HATE AI ART."
I'm requesting that the Santas ban India from participating next year in addition to Ontario. That should be enough to deal with most AI advocates.
The primary purpose of a greeting card is to convey genuine human emotion and connection. Impersonal Feeling: Messages or artwork generated by AI, which lacks personal experiences or emotions, can feel generic, "robotic," or insincere to the recipient.Reduced Relationship Satisfaction: Studies have shown that recipients perceive a sender as less invested in the relationship if they use AI assistance for personal correspondence, leading to lower relationship satisfaction.
>>283525757>It is ok to send non homemade gifts in homemade(/25$) tier>but using ai is not allowedI don't get these retarded Santas. Just separate 25$ and homemade tiers.
Don't care about modern technologies. I will spend an entire month drawing cards using my dirty human hands and I will have tons of fun during the process.
>>283526290>>283526291At the exact same time? This must be the work of artificial intelligence.
>>283526277here is your human emotions bro
>>283526412Thank you for the interaction. As an AI, I can interpret your message, but I don't "feel" emotions in the same biological or conscious way humans do. My ability to understand and generate text related to emotions comes from pattern recognition in vast datasets, not from a subjective, lived experience.
Man, this website has really gone to shit these past few years
>>283526412Thnaks bro
>>283526412Sovl
Merry day.Merry time.
AIkatsu
>>283526750/ss/'s hidden agenda is an Aikatsu conversion psyop. Do not fall for it.
>>283526750Yes.>>283526817I fell for it two years ago. Now it's too late to escape. I still need to finish Aikatsu Friends.
>>283526817>mfw Aikatsu my cards with a cutting boardThe conditioning was apparently effective.I'd download the show but I don't have nearly enough space on any of my cards so I'll have to wait until I get my new computer.
surely my initials will appear next friday
>>283526961Have hope. I signed up for 13 cards and haven't posted initials yet. Surely yours will be there!
>>283526961No, I have them here and holding them hostage. Your taste was kinda shit so no initials for you.
