vitiligo in games rant (i have vitiligo) 

everything else aside, i fuckin hate how vitiligo is portrayed in games. something about it just looks like it's painted on. even in games that have much more focus on realism, it just... it doesn't look real. i get the feeling that the artists don't even actually know how vitiligo looks like so they just throw a bunch of white splotches at the wall and hope for the best.

maybe one day there will be some character in a video game with vitiligo where the skin texture for them was actually made with a scan of someone's real skin, but right now man it just looks like ass.

and that's alongside the fact that i just don't like the push for vitiligo in games as is. it just feels 100% like putting it in a video game is only for social brownie points, diversity/inclusion shit you know? every time i see it i just want to cringe and i never apply it to my character. idk, it just makes me feel gross that my disorder is being used by people to make them feel like they're doing something righteous or whatever.

pov you're about to have all of your friends team up against you because you're too good at mario party

Whenever I'm feeling panicky or my heart is hurting, this is my go-to song. It's sad and usually makes me cry, especially knowing the story of the game it is from and some things in my life that have happened since I first heard it. Still, it always helps me calm down. Everything's alright.

This is one of those times that lightning was caught in a bottle. From the story of the game to the music composed for it, to Laura's voice. It strikes a very potent chord. If you haven't played/watched To The Moon before, you really should. It's incredibly touching and on my top 100 games list for a damn good reason. It's not really a "game" as much as it is a visual novel to be completely honest, so you can get away with watching it instead, but it's relatively short and definitely worth checking out.

It's supposed to be getting an anime movie adaptation soon too, which I'm looking forward to and I hope it is handled well. I hope it's still in production. It started in 2018 and with the pandemic and stuff that might have changed things, being produced in Japan and funded by a Chinese company. When it comes out though, you'll bet I'll find any way I can to watch it or buy it.
