My new short story, MESTRA, comes out as a standalone this September! I rediscovered this myth from Ovid while working on my Persephone novel, and it absolutely electrified me.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

It's time for #inkvent2025 ! Like last year, I'll post each ink from the Diamine Inkvent Calendar here on its following day, so anyone opening their own calendar won't get spoiled. This year, I'll try doodling with each ink to really show off their properties! I'll be back here tomorrow with Day 1!

Last week, my former housemate punched me multiple times in the eye, forcing me to break the lease for the beautiful apartment we shared and move in with a trusted friend As I try to rebuild my life and find more permanent housing, I would greatly appreciate any support you could offer Stop Caring

#Pokemon Legends: Z-A continues the series' action-oriented pivot as it goes from a standalone spin-off to mainline status – yet with plenty of room to grow still! But today I'll still say: Lumiose je t'aime. 💚⚡ Full Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/pokem...

always happy to see my silly little website on CD shoutout to @otomeniki.bsky.social for the wonderful FFT piece

Hey I wonder who provided that game script. 👀 (We're also in the middle of compiling one for The Ivalice Chronicles! There is quite a lot of new dialogue in this version, and as this article discusses, Tactics wears its politics on its sleeves, some of the new scenes very clearly so.)

Here's one for the memers and the dreamers: I wrote about Final Fantasy Tactics memes and art criticism for Stop Caring! Check it out!

Don’t blame Niki for all these Final Fantasy Tactics memes. Blame yourself or God.

New article is live on Stop Caring This one from @otomeniki.bsky.social, who argues that Final Fantasy Tactics memes engages audiences in a unique form of reader-response theory. Which *is* art criticism, even if it doesn't *look* like art criticism. Give it a read and a share!

Happy Autumnal Equinox 🧡🍂

After seeing so much dislike towards Mega Dragonite's design, I'm surprised at how much people seem to like the Raichu Megas. Both feature big, "goofy" ears and tails that hearken back to their previous evolution.

WRITING IS FUN AND COOL

Our #RandomEncounter panelists visit the RPGFan bazaar on this week's episode, as they discuss remake #StoryOfSeasons: Grand Bazaar, retro-style JRPG #Quartet, and their thoughts on #Gamescom2025! Check out this podcast below 🎧 Listen: www.rpgfan.com/2025/08/25/r...

Grand Bazaar runs a rhythm similar to other games in the series, with some syncopation created by the weekly bazaar. Does this remake of the classic Harvest Moon game live up to the original? Review: www.rpgfan.com/revie... #StoryOfSeasons #HarvestMoon

@earthklaans on twt summarized it best "YT is applying post-processing to all shorts so they look more like Al. When their Gen Al Shorts feature launches users will be less likely to discern what's Al-slop & what's not; The audience will think Al is 'just as good'" www.youtube.com/watch?v=86nh...

No essay for Stop Caring this month, but I am releasing this triple threat of personal updates/a call for pitches/a request for donations If you are interested in writing for Stop Caring, please read this. I only have 4 spots available for the year, so the time to pitch is now/in the near future.

Time to be livin' that #FantasyLife! 🐲 A rather great catch-all #RPG experience, even if it might lack depth in specific parts. But The Girl Who Steals Time will be a pleasant use of your time. Full Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/fanta...

"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."

it's ike and soren

AH WOW! I cannot recommend this Clip tool enough!! I always have to break panel frames on my comics the long way by just drawing above all my other layers and having to leave the original panel behind but this tool lets you make the panel the shape you need!! assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail...

People want to know how big the Switch 2 is so here it is compared to some common gaming controllers

Fuck yeag, you tell 'em boss!

#RuneFactory is getting so good at optimizing the balance of farming sim and RPG elements; but now inspired by Japanese fantasy and culture, and a lovely dose of seasonal sights. Guardians of Azuma is great for newcomers and returning fans.🌸🍂 Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/rune-...

I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI. I urge everyone to delete their app.

Please artists RT your own art!! There's so much art that i discovered the first time thanks to this, also illustrations from artists i like to see again! You poured time, effort and love into it and there's no expiration date

After Pokémon, my first RPGs were GBA classics: Fire Emblem, and the iconic "Legendary RPG" itself, Tales of Phantasia! ...Yes, on the Game Boy Advance! Awful localization aside, ToP had me hooked. FE reinforced my love for Nintendo, but ToP was the gateway that led me to countless other RPGs.
