CS2 Skins

June skins update: Market is continuing to down trend, but that's okay. I'm happy with all of my current skins, and am expecting to hold for an extremely long timeframe. The above skins would for sure elevate my collection, but I essentially established all of my signature skins.

Ricoh GR IV

Been waiting to purchase the previous iteration for a while, so long in fact that the IV released in the meantime. I'm a fan of tiny technology, as an aspect of design and functionality. Ricoh has been the premium option for pocketable mirrorless cameras for forever. But the $1,700 price tag has always been a tough pill to swallow. I am not a photographer. But I do like taking photos. Surely just using my phone would suffice?

Decor

Herman Miller Ollin Gaming Monitor Arm

Super cool monitor arm that I could buy used for ~$55. The design is sleek and functional, and definitely looks more professional than my current arm.

Homelab

I want to add some smart home things to be able to use with HomeAssistant but there's not too much interesting stuff I can add in my apartment. I'm currently looking at the IKEA TIMMERFLOTTE temperature/humidity sensor, one for inside and another for outside. Just to see how easy they are to integrate into HA. My room definitely heats up at night due to my PC, and I wanted to compare the difference between indoors and outside temps.

Clothes

No specific seasons listed for these, I'll probably buy whatever looks nice for a decent price. Been wanting the GATs for years but could never justify the price for sneakers.

Topre Keyboard

Years ago, (6...?) I bought the KBDfans x BIIP Extended-2048 EC Keycap Set for a project board, but never really committed myself to building it. (I'm a big fan of the aesthetic of vintage Apple keyboards.) This set is specifically for Topre keyboards, which I've never tried personally, and not MX switches. Unfortunately, getting ahold of that specific Leopold 60% keyboard is extremely hard now as they've stopped producing it. It's only available on the second hand market but at absurd pricing. The HHKB alternative is not your usual HHKB, as it features arrow keys. This is also quite hard to find because again, it's not being produced currently and must be imported from Japan.
