Nah, have the room for it and probably will stay here for a while. Just a question of "why bother?".

Sort of getting back into reading after not doing much fiction reading since high school. Last 2-3 years I've been reading the Overlord light novels as they come out and are translated, currently reading volume 14 (pictured). Also just finished In the Land of Leadale volume 1 (pictured) and probably going to start on the Spice & Wolf and Youjo Senki light novels once I'm finished with the Leadale series. Current bookshelf is full of physical books I currently own and figured that instead of having to buy/build a bigger bookshelf and continue buying physical books, I'll switch over to ebooks. Have set up my home server with a Calibre container and recently bought an ebook reader (see Last Purchase thread) to this end.

12" surface cleaner for pressure washers. Used it to clean off the back deck and wow why haven't I bought one before? Have to work on the driveway and walkway next but this should cut down the time spent doing it by a lot.

I think it's pretty fun and it's by far my most-played game at ~1100 hours, but also keep in mind it is a game from 2013 running on a *garbage* game engine and by now it's starting to jump the shark with some of the more recent events and DLCs and such. If you're curious about getting into it, I'd wait for a sale and grab one of the bundles that includes most of the DLC for a few dollars altogether. Or wait and see if promises of PayDay 3 releasing next year actually happens.

Ryobi RY142300 electric pressure washer. Current one I own is a 1800psi 1.1gpm leaking one and doesn't really do much to help with the second floor of the house. 2300psi 1.2gpm should help a bit there.

Oh you haven't heard the previous Christmas song they released:

As it is the season...

Wormhole 2.0 - Wice

All I have to say is, aside from the HR nightmare happening to the employees leaving/being fired, am happy to see Twitter dying off and Musk looking more like a fool.

Local beer festival ticket. Going to be a fun weekend.

Pulled pork. Picked up a picnic cut (couldn't find shoulder for the price I wanted) and slow cooked it for 9-10hr along with various spices and some onions for good measure.
