Hi, I’m an ND sci fi/fantasy writer working on my debut novel I like to talk about books, games, history, and whatever’s interesting at the moment. Also I’m learning Japanese, so これを読めばこんにちはを言ってくれませんか

Gundam Witch from Mercury kinda fits
Only 2 endings left in Silent Hill f, and I think I saved the good ones for last. I think it’s safe to call this my game of the year at this point

I think it could be updated for better frame rates and loading times, but otherwise there’s nothing it would benefit from changing
I think an underrated bit of writing advice is museums are amazing for inspiration. Every time I go to one, I leave with new ideas I might get to eventually

Or even for regions the general anglophone audience would be more familiar with, you’d think they’d be familiar with figures like Boudicca, the Tudor queens, for more immense soft power, Hildegard of Bingen and Catherine de Medici among many others would have been covered in school
Like I have no economic future regardless because of your voting habits the past 50 years. The fuck do you mean having a machine write my emails is an essential part of making it in the modern world?
The absolute insanity talking to older family where they’re all like “well I can retire without learning AI, but you need to learn it or you have no chance in the workplace”

As someone whose degree was in history, their lack of understanding of both basic research and the plagiarism machine… fuck
Having finished Final Fantasy Tactics in time, I do in a way get to play Silent Hill f as a Halloween game with 4 endings left to do in ng+

You could play P5 Strikers to keep interacting with the characters
So I finished Final Fantasy Tactics… is it a hot take to say the Final Fantasy story kinda got in the way of the class struggle story? I liked the story, but the lucavi part didn’t do a lot for me

Yeah it’s really easy to abuse, both by moderators and malicious members in a space if mods aren’t really on top of things
Not inherently, but they’re very easily weaponized that way
I hate that the kind of horrible stuff I’m writing about in my cyberpunk novel is happening in real time
The spicy green flag would be something about the Byzantines, but yeah, that’s a really efficient way to do it
Quote with 2 female video game characters you like

Well damn, guess I can’t choose Zelda… so
Ok Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green might be the most powerful book I’ve read this year

Finished Leviathan Falls. I never thought the Expanse was an amazing series, but this last book was terrible. The last three books really drag it down, and the final book is easily the worst in the series

Well… onto the next book on my list, Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

Everyone should get to see themself in fiction. But I often can't find as much neurodiverse rep as I'd like, especially in SFF.

So for ADHD Awareness Month, I've gathered 22 mainly ADHD authors & their fantasy/ other books with main/significant ADHD chars in this bundle
