I'm Niki and I like otome games
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. 💚⚡

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.)

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.

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.

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?

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.
