Moralpaniken och politiken

Det är väl ingen som har lyckats undgå det uttalande som Tomas Tobé från Moderaterna fått fronta i medier nyligen. Ursprunget, som jag förstår det, är det här inslaget i TV4, där det påstås - utan närmare källor - att unga pojkar* spelar för mycket, så pass mycket att tydligen hela skolväsendet blir lidande av...

An image of a pier stretching out into the ocean. The ocean is entirely calm

This isn't a post about games. It's a post about my favourite music. In other words, be warned. Apparently the page was too heavy, so I removed it. Here's a Spotify playlist instead.

Don’t give us a bad name!

A set of games in the background, a controller up front. The symbol of feminism, a closed fist in the sign of woman, on top.

Today, I've learned how to use raw_input() in Python. However, learning scripting can be slightly taxing on the brain, so I took a break and I caught this little gem via Jenny Haniver on Twitter. The quote below is from a reddit thread in Girl Gamers. No. The guy IS a dick, and what he... Continue Reading →
