There was a time way back when I had tremendous amounts of fun tinkering with my website. My first true website has been a blog, a photo-gallery, a webcomic, and just a plain mess and I’ve loved each iteration of it. Social media killed that. www.northernpanda.net/digital-gard...

Digging through old hard drives looking for something completely unrelated, unearthed old webcomic strips I made. They were never any good, but I had so much fun making them!

Snublet over historien "Onkel Skrue og gullfeberen" i et Donald Pocket fra 1995, under en lesestund for Tvilling#2. Dette...virket profetisk

To sider fra et Donal Pocket fra 1995, som viser hvordan Onkel Skrue gjentar mye av de samme argumentene som KI-techbros bruker i dag.

Watching "No Sudden Move" (2021). Not the best movie I've seen, but full of style and it's got so much individuality through the use of anamorphic lenses. It's almost dreamlike. Surreal.

Autumn weather is here, and I am all for it. Be content little tea-dudes, you’ll get plenty of soak in the coming weeks. Just look at how content those two look, gloriously smug and content.

For years I've had an idea for an artzine incubating in my mind, and now that the stars are alligned, that idea is coming to fruition. The Critical Reflection artzine is for those who believe games can be poetry and that they carry meaning.

Carpenter’s Apocalypse trilogy are some amazing films, and The Thing(1982) is one of my all time favorite movies. Carpenter’s storytelling excellence, aesthetics, humor and sheer coolness shines through even in the darkest moments. His films with Kurt Russell are all must see. #filmsky

My quest to rediscover love for films continue, and the soirée showing is The Usual Suspects (1995). It is such an incredibly good film. It is always so easy to forget that you’re watching the subjective retelling of past events, much like Varric from Dragon Age 2 (the best Dragon Age game).

I’m rediscovering my love for films again, by dusting off my physical collection. These are the films I’ve gathered over years and, most importantly, most of them are films that are hard to find or impossible to find on streaming services. Today’s home office matinee is Critters (1986).

Cookies for the Cookie God, Milk for the Milk God and skulls for Santa, all dressed in Red. Let the Yule times come. We’ve decorated the tree with fetishes, talismans and the skull. And the offering of porridge has been placed outside for Santa. The children can sleep safely tonight.

I’m also hoping for a resurgence of smaller, independent outlets. Because the major commercial press entities, same as with the video game industry, have built a unsteady behemoth that’s gonna topple over eventually. Especially through this kind of bullshit.

M*A*S*H 4077 is one of the best TV shows ever made. And its message on the horrors of war is ever relevant.

I just finished Dustborn (2024) by Red Thread Games -and while there is a lot to unpack about it- it was one of my favorite gaming experiences in a long time. Wonderful and interesting characters with moving stories and development. It is refreshing to experience games with something to say.

Det faktum at SP velgerne flykter i hopetall til det Fordømte Rasist Partiet sier jo litt om SP og hvor i det politiske landskapet de ligger. Det gjør jo det.

This headline sounds way too disturbing and dark for the simple fact that the 3rd in line for the Japanese Imperial throne turned 18. This headline tells of dark curses and sins spanning generations; not a fucking birthday.

Opp med handa om du er overrasket at det Fordømte Rasist Partiet vil fjerne regelverket som beskytter barn og unge i arbeidslivet. OG skal prøve å tåkespinne det som en positiv ting for barna. La oss se… en.. to… nei, det var en stokk og det var et hattestativ. Nei, ingen var altså overrasket.
