Oh.. that's an issue.
Well, there's other HiVis colours... Orange, Green and the rarer Blue and Pink.
What have you purchased recently?

Yeah, I got caught on the ~£1.50/L peak the other day (~US$9/gallon?). The cost to fill my car has gone up something like £20 since i bought it three years ago.
Bought a band saw and some vegan protein powder. One of these things will do me a physical disservice.
My Limited Run copy of the Castlevania Collection (Switch) came in today. I got the special edition with the Genesis style casing.
£1.50/l peak?!? Count yourself lucky! I drive up to Yorkshire last year, £1.77/l at a service station, somewhere on the M6 if I recall.

Bought and assembled my new office desk. I went with the oh so popular r/battlestations design of using ikea Alex cabinets with a 74" walnut countertop on top, and it looks rather good I must say.
I still haven't completely assembled my entire workstation. One of my monitors is currently in the corner disassembled because I didn't have time to put everything together on Monday before having work today and it was more important for me to be able to work than to get everything looking tidy. As such my desk and office are a complete mess, but even in all of that mess and with the entire set-up only partially complete it already looks pretty sweet. Once I have all of the monitors properly mounted and cable managed I think I'll be quite happy with this desk upgrade.

Ouch! Service stations are usually bad, but that's outrageous.

- Whatever, just wash your hands.
Hedon Extra Thicc DLC. Already loved the game, the dlc has the full sound track and the sound track is already amazing so yay, now I have it, just need Zan to somehow release it on vinyl also.
I bought some T-shirts from teepublic again. And I snagged a physical version of Bloodstain - Curse of the Moon 2 from Best Buy.
This shirt I got the long sleeve variation. Something to match the character.

Putin vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right
According to Prof Alexander Dugin, Vladimir Putin stand…
In this book, the summaries are good, and I hear its' great for those that have never read any of Dugin's books.
Oh, and the guy writing it is a total scumbag, but I also had an IR professor who worked for AEI and advocated for closer cooperation with Russia to counter China. Despite the fact that AEI was an oil lobbying group, and Russia has lots of oil to extract & the fact he didn't think climate change was real. I am used to reading right-wing books, and lectures
Edit: I also brought it from half-off books.

Taking a risk with this. I got bored and quit when I rented the Criterion disc years ago, and because this is a 4K scan there's a chance Kino Lorber or Criterion will release it on UHD. Wanna watch it, but I'm nervous about removing the shrink wrap. Got a good discount.

I bought myself a Logitech G915 keyboard for 50% off, and I fucking hate it.
Everything about it just rubs me the wrong way, despite sounding great on paper.
For one thing, it is stupidly heavy. The entire frame is made out of aluminium, which makes for great build quality, but it also turns the keyboard into a massive slab of metal - one that weighs 2kg/4.5lbs. Obviously im not picking the keyboard up and swinging it around, but when you use it, and the board naturally shifts around your desk, moving it back (whilst trying to use one hand, whilst also playing the game) is quite cumbersome.
The software is also junk. I cannot for the life of me, upload a profile onto the keyboard's onboard memory, which means that the keyboard will just use its default settings unless the Logitech app is constantly running. This works perfectly for my mouse (G502), but I cannot get it to work with the keyboard at all. Having a quick Google search, it doesn't appear to be just me, either.
The biggest problem for me though, is the switches. I got the Tactile Brown switches (because Blues are just obnoxiously loud), and they just felt like mush. Like a cheap membrane keyboard. I've never used Brown switches before, so I cannot really tell if these are just bad Brown switches, or Browns aren't to my taste in general, but these definitely don't work for me. I honestly prefer the keyboard on the laptop that my job gave me.
I also don't really get the idea of a wireless keyboard. For a mouse, it makes sense, because the cable can get caught, and a little bit of extra friction can make your mouse movements less smooth, and I also get it for a headset, because you can just get up from your desk without needing to take them off, but for a keyboard, that barely moves? Why? Its just another thing to remember to charge, at that point - not to mention the extra battery weight.
As it stands, I used it for about 2 days, and now it is back in its box, ready to be sent back to Amazon. Back to my (slowly breaking) Cooler Master CK550.

Liked Marienbad. Some more from that Kino Lorber seller on Amazon. Rewatched Lifeboat yesterday. Never seen Horses and Lost Weekend before, but the latter being by Billy Wilder made it a very easy blind buy.
My Lifeboat backup froze up yesterday. Ended up putting my player to rare use. Had a similar issue with The Dark Knight a week ago.
From now on, I'm always gonna create a BDMV backup, rip from that and then delete the BDMV, rather than rip straight from disc to MKV.

A server rack cable management duct, which I attached to the back of my home office desk to clean up my cable management.
It would have been much easier to attach and do the cable runs if I could move the desk away from the wall, but moving my desk requires 3 people minimum and I live alone and am too impatient to invite my friends over to help. I spent 2 hours struggling with something that should probably have taken half an hour, but my cable management is now the cleanest it's ever been. I am quite satisfied.
