oh yeah, re-#introductions
I did myself a master in Education, almost by accident. when I did my bachelor, someone I had a low-intense crush on let it slip that they'd do the master thing, so I said - hey, this is good news. then she didn't complete the bachelor degree and I had to face the master music alone

I did a bit of digital culturing this morn, and compiled a list of 40 iconic, interesting or impactful moments in video games. if you are someone whose work relates to games and have found yourself asking "but what games are there?"

Swedish intro: hej!

English intro! Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Mx,

you don't have to know the local lingo to figure that the international greeting has slightly more flare to it

today marks the one-year anniversary of me successfully defending my master thesis, and let me tell you
