This list is for my family. If you're not a family member, I don't know how you got here. This stuff is in no particular order; I can tell you the thing I most want is Raiden Fighters, but you're also extremely extremely unlikely to find that, so don't worry about it. I have a bunch of ideas here, and some of them are pretty damn expensive, but I tried to give you as many options as I could.

Super large antistatic bags. These are for my arcade boards.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. This is a $59.99 PC game; you'll have to send it as a Steam gift. My brother should know how to do that.

It's very expensive, but I'm on the lookout for a few arcade games:

• Raiden Fighters or Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive (Not Raiden Fighters Jet; I already own that one). The first Raiden Fighters is my most sought-after game right now and it's not even close. It's relatively common, but all arcade games are kind of hard to find at this point.
• A Neo Geo MVS motherboard. This is actually little complicated, because the motherboards themselves aren't games; you also need a cartridge. There's a 161 in 1 multicart that you can get for about a hundred dollars; most of the games I would want are anywhere from $40 to like $500, so it's a pretty good deal. Some motherboards don't support the 161 in 1 multicart, though, so you might need to do a little research.
• Cadash
• Final Fight
• In general, I have a lot of interest in shoot-em-ups, or "shmups." If you find one for sale, there's a chance I might be into it. I'm not expecting you to look up the genres of every random listing you find, but if you're on Facebook Marketplace and find someone advertising a "shmup," "shooter" or "shoot-em-up" for what looks like a good price, you can just ask me. I understand that that spoils the surprise, though.

Some things to note: I would only grab these if you can find them locally. If you're not sure whether a seller's asking price is good, you can try looking on eBay. Search for the game name, plus "jamma," plus "PCB" and see what people are asking. People try to get a ton of money for arcade games on eBay, so if, for example, a local seller wants even more than $300-400 for Raiden Fighters, either try to talk them down or move on. I also only need the boards (it'll look like a computer motherboard) and don't need the cabinets or any of the hardware at all; if someone's selling a dedicated cabinet of one of these things, that's a cool find that you're going to have to leave for someone else. We don't have the room for a cabinet.

A new power supply and two of these 10 terabyte hard drives so I can upgrade my local data storage and security. This is pretty expensive, and to be honest it's not really going to be especially fun or exciting, but I do need it if you're feeling generous.

These cheap plastic feet for my arcade boards. I need two sets of these even if you don't buy me any new boards for Christmas (which, to be clear, I know you're not going to unless some kind of crazy and convenient deal just happens to line up).

A small side desk I can put my drawing tablet on. I measured the space I have for it and even 32 inches wide is pushing it, so think of that as the max size.

A decent mid-size trash can for my bedroom, maybe with a step lid. I got a small trash can when I moved in because I don't have tons of space in here and I thought a large trash can would be unsightly, but frankly, I spend so much time in here and order in during streams often enough that it's a huge pain in the ass having a tiny trash can that's easy to knock over. Something around the height of what my brother has in his living room might be nice; I don't necessarily want to go all the way to a full-size kitchen trash can since I don't have much space.

A year's subscription to Wanikani. This is about a hundred dollars, and I think a lifetime subscription is $200 or $300, so the lifetime subscription might seem like a better call at first, but my Japanese might be slightly too advanced for this thing, so I don't know that committing to more than a year of service really makes sense yet.

I don't really like that place Mom likes at all, but if there's a fancy local candy place, that's always a safe bet. If possible, my favorite candy is nonpareils, but I also like chocolate-covered potato chips, chocolate-dipped cookies and truffles. I do hate fudge, though.

This mechanical keyboard, the Epomaker x Aula F75, for my gaming PC. It's usually ten or twenty dollars cheaper than this, but unfortunately I think there's a rush on budget PC accessories during the holidays.

This Logitech gaming mouse, also for my gaming PC. The color is sort of important; I use this same mouse on my video editing PC, and that one's white, so this one would need to be one of the other three colors.

A Target gift card would be nice because I want to pick up a few pair of jeans. Frankly, I'm losing my patience with how shitty jeans are these days, so I want to eventually buy something more expensive that's actually going to last more than a couple months, but that's a problem for future Dot. I just need to get by for now and I'm running low. Unfortunately, this site is publicly accessible, so I can't really put my jeans size here; it's technically private information.

A replacement GPU. Right now I have a GeForce 1060, which is very old, and it's actually dying; my secondary monitor will just shut off for a fraction of a second sometimes. Believe it or not, I would file this one under "functional, but not necessarily fun;" it'll make my work easier, but I don't really play games on the PC, so the gains in horsepower are lost on me. Unfortunately, these are around $800, and something like a 4070 Ti would be best for my use case (it's substantially better at AV1 video encoding than the 4070 and lower). I have no idea what your budget is, but I will not be disappointed if you don't spring for this. It's literally more expensive than two of the arcade boards put together.
