A Revelation...

Hey there, guys and gals! Guess who's baaack?! 😄 ...no, not Arnold. 😵

Anyway... 😏

I just had an epiphany this week, that I'd like to share with you all. I'll be honest... I've been quite addicted to both Youtube- and Facebook browsing, for quite a long time. Maybe you recognize the feeling? Yeah, dopamine. For me, this kind of spinned out of hand.


While I'm studying Digital Design, I have a pretty tight schedule during the week, and the longer I linger, the longer I need to study. I study from home, which is great... and at the same time, it takes a lot of discipline. As soon as I've gotten a couple of minutes of break, or when I've taken a longer break... I've immediatly started browsing. Either Youtube, or Facebook. Or both (not at the same time though, thank god!). The problem has been, that I haven't had any time left for doing the things that I REALLY, feel like doing (except for in the evenings). Eventually, I kind of got this empty feeling inside of me. I ignored it for awhile, but the feeling just wouldn't go away. Then I decided... I need to do something to constrain myself.


That's when I decided to completely delete the Youtube-app from my phone (Facebook had been deleted about a year earlier). And you know what? Once I got to those breaks in my studies, without the app... at first, I felt kind of "What should I do now?". But then... relief. Bliss. Complete... relaxation. I felt great. I couldn't keep up with my addiction anymore! I had CONSTRAINED myself! AWESOME! 😄

Then I got this thought... what should I do instead? I thought on it for awhile. I ransacked my deepest feelings and thoughts... is there something I've been wanting to do, all this time... that I just haven't simply gotten too, because of my app addiction? What do I really want to do, the most? Then it hit me... I want to continue reading my Resident Evil book. Last time I read some pages in it, was like, in 2015. 😵

Since then, I've done just that. I've started reading during my breaks, instead of maintaining my past dopamine addiction. And you know what? I'd highly recommend this, to anyone. I feel like, a part of me, that has been lost, for a long time... is finally back. I feel whole again. And it's awesome.

Birger out. 👊

Birthday Post & Nostalgic Humor from Old Neverwinter Vault 🎁😂

Birthday cake, for everyone  😉 Hey everyone, it's my birthday today! 🥳🎉 All birthday wishes in the comments are more than welcome... 😋🎁 Today I spent a while watching some nostalgic NWN-related humor from the good ol' days, and I thought to myself why not share my experiences with you guys?  So that's what I'm gonna do. 😄 A Neverwinter Nights Comedy Series Neverending Nights was / is an awesome and incredibly funny NWN-comedy series that (I think) was featured on the old Neverwinter Vault, from time, to time.  It tells the tale of an odd hero duo consisting of  Grayson the fighter  and Peter the ranger , and their loony misadventures.  If you haven't watched the series before, then here's an episode (one of my favorites, actually) that will give you a feel of what to expect from the rest of the series: If you found the above episode to your liking, either for the first time, or maybe you'd like to rewatch the series; then you'll find all 65 e...

NWN2: I'm back! & NWN1 Progress

Hey again everyone. I installed NWN2 again on my computer today. I've only had the original NWN installed until now ... but, since I'd try getting something done for the BouncyRock- Halloween Event I figured it'd be best to install it again and finally getting started. I've actually been missing the game now when I think of it. :D I also downloaded and printed ( ! ) Gilthonym's "Don't Panic: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the NWN2 toolset" . It is really useful, easy to understand, easy to read and all in all ... avery well done document! It's about 132 pages ( !!!! ) (but not that much text on each page , thankfully) so now you may figure how devoted I am to finally learning the NWN2-toolset . ;) Now when it comes to the progress of my current projects for NWN1 : I've not been able to work that much on Insania Fabula but I have done a REALLY LARGE portion of a conversation that introduces various main-characters . I've decided t...
