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.

not enough sites have gray themes. it's either light or dark. i want every website to look like a ps1.

That whole romance thing is stupid though too because the cop HATED HER GUTS to the point of trying to have her framed for her son's murder/kidnapping. Then she flips into being her friend once she gets yeeted from the case and like a week later they're kissing each other. Wtf kind of pacing is this? xD

At least with the final season of The Walking Dead (Telltale), the optional lesbian romance there between Clementine and some other chick I forgot the name of, she's at that camp with all of them for the entire season and you get to see a lot of moments with them growing together. Still a little bit fast, but they're also both like high school age so you know, whatever. This is like... two adults who went from absolutely wanting each other dead to being like "ooh I love you mwah" in a matter of a week or two. Then they break up like one episode later, but then by the end they are back again?

Just like the rest of the game, it's completely incoherent and ass storytelling, but just because it's gay people are willing to give it a pass which is stupid and very indicative of the current gaming landscape.

I have seen some people praising it because the lesbian characters actually end up having a happy ending together and I guess in most media they don't? The funny thing about it though is one of them is a cop, and we all know the domestic violence statistics about cops and lesbians...

I know talking about age gap stuff is stupid too, but I can't help thinking about how the cop was a child psychologist for her lover's younger sister 15+ years ago and also had a 6 year old daughter at the time. Like, she's probably known this woman since she was a teenager as an adult. Kinda' weird. Just sayin'.
