Magnus Niska from Sweden is the first person in the world who has been implanted with a prosthetic robotic arm. Up until now, all prosthetics has been removable and has had electrodes on the surface of the skin, causing operating difficulties in hot or cold environments.

This is the first implanted arm with electrodes integrated directly into the muscles. They are currently testing tactile feedback with the arm, meaning that Niska will eventually be able to feel sensory input through the arm.

Magnus Niska is has grown used to the prosthetic and views it as a part of his body, instead of just an accessory. Normal prosthetics need to be strapped to the body and is harder to control accurately, as the nerve signals sometimes have difficulties to go through.

This is undoubtedly a big step for robotic prosthetics.

Don't mind the missing textures on the Arbiters.

Just in case you've missed the little bit of planning that happened yesterday.

I was thinking a multiplayer game that is free, so that we're not hindered by people not owning it.

Examples include, but are not limited to, Quake Live, Loadout, and Magicka: Wizard Wars.

We could of course also do a game that isn't free, if enough people have it. Like Gmod, for example.

Update: Suggest a game and I'll add it below. We can then have a vote on which game to play.

Free games are marked green.

-Quake Live
-Gmod
-Team Fortress 2
-GTA IV
-Minecraft
-Company of Heroes 2
-Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
-Planetside 2
-World of Tanks
-DayZ
-Left 4 Dead 2

It'll be fairly normal, actually. Maybe a bit more video games.

I don't know whether I should jump in anticipation or shake my head.

Just throw some Doritos at that and we're set.

It's clear that the leader of the Social Democrat party, Stefan Löfven, will be the next prime minister. However, for a government to be formed, their state budget must be voted trough by the parliament.

The Social Democrats are currently working together with the Environment Party, which was clear already before the election, where they had plans to form a government together in case they got enough votes in the election.

The thing is, they didn't.

As such, they need to work together with additional parties if they want to avoid having a re-election, which probably would only work in the favor if the nationalist Sweden Democrat party. And no other party wants that.

Normally, it would be natural for them to work together with the Leftist Party. However, that wouldn't be enough for their budget to pass.

As such, they are trying to form an alliance with the Center Party and the Liberal Party, the two of the right-wing parties that's furthest to the middle/left political field.

Unfortunately, these two parties would refuse to sit in the same government as the Leftist Party.

And so, the Social Democrats have ditched the Leftist Party in hopes of gaining an alliance with the Centers and Liberals. As far as I know, they still haven't reached an agreement.

The Swedish political landscape is shaky right now, to say the least.

Should I send this to Achievement Hunter's GameFails?

For example, being against the use of marijuana, but not opposing it to be legal, since it doesn't affect you?

Or wanting a certain form of society, but realizing that since it's not likely to happen or that it wouldn't work well because of human nature, settling for something different?

I went to the job center for a interview on what I'm currently doing. Since I'm now studying part-time I can't be valid for the "Job Guarantee for Youths" program (where you can get economic assistance, among other things), but I told them that I'm fine with that but that I will continually search  for jobs anyway.

Then I went to the local GameStop and purchased an Xbox One controller for my PC. I've downloaded the driver and tested it in Steam's Big Picture mode, and it seems to work fine. I really like the controller itself, too.

I also finally got my virtual Linux machine to work, which means I'm ready for further school assignments (I'm studying "Linux and Small Networks")

When I was outside it was also the furthest that I've walked since my surgery. I really feel a lot better now.

There's been talk about having a section of the site where we can submit written articles, like game and movie reviews, walkthroughs, and such.

What if we could start an official Sep7agon YouTube channel? It wouldn't be huge, and the main purpose wouldn't be to get popular on YouTube, but to use it to post the videos on here.

People work differently when it comes to creativity and voicing their opinions. Sure, a video requires much more work to be good, as it's not just about the content, but how it's presented. Recording, cutting, editing, takes more time than writing a text and clicking save. So this idea might be a bit unfeasable.

But I think it's worth noting, and considering.
