Mainly the upfront costs, TCO with things like battery durability/replacement, lack of any meaningful infrastructure (current efforts just care about the subsidies and don't maintain the chargers well), etc. PHEV isn't much better given what I've read about reliability of hybrid v EV v PHEV vehicles.

Would like to buy an EV, but well... how things have been going with them I might just go for a hybrid instead once I eventually get a new car.

Steam sale shenanigans: Sky Haven Cold Waters Summer Pockets Shenzhen I/O

Dirty Harry & Magnum Force. Pretty decent stuff. Also tried watching Boondock Saints. Literally fell asleep halfway through.

Turbo Killer - Carpenter Brut

Restocked the home bar with some gin, rum, and liqueur

New fridge. Woke up this morning to my current one being dead and the insides warmed up.

John Wick 4. Well worth the watch.

Impulse-bought a kitchen faucet that was on clearance

Hoover Pro Clean Pet for something like 30% off MSRP. Really nice living near an OEM outlet store.

Bike chain lube and a torex screwdriver set to fix a squeaky mouse wheel.

Recent meal:

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.

Dream On (Uramichi Oniisan ED)

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.
