Ash being meta?

I'm pretty sure, Ash wouldn't have played the game :D Don't tell me, you didn't have him say that on purpose :P

I just finished v0.20.5, and you absolutely killed it with the "Never have I ever" bar scene. I was laughing my ass off and with every line of dialogue I thought, you couldn't top that, but boy was I wrong! I said it before, and I say it even more now: There was sex in there, and it was good, but it was nothing compared to characters, story, emotions and humor. I could finish the character's sentences—that's how well you introduced us to each of them. In the spirit of 'honest day' I have to admit that I couldn't help but join them playing 'Never have I ever'—it was just too much fun—well, I know, it is ridiculous. I actually don't remember the last time I laughed THAT much. You should really consider, continuing to use your talent—I'd so love to see more of that, and I'd miss it, if I couldn't. Your frienda must enjoy playing drinking games with you so much! And you were right about the language thing: I actually had to look stuff up 😅—not much, but still.

haha, yep. I like to make fun of myself sometimes-- especially some of the natural weaknesses of the game or things that were developmental problems. There's also a line in the game somewhere about them feeling like they're the only people in the school sometimes because my original rig couldn't handle more than like 3 people in a frame before it would overheat.

And glad you liked the bar "Never have I ever" scene. it's goofy and fun but also and easy to way tap into some theory and backstory with the characters

The milky nebular is beautiful

Dr Oetker actually made a fish finger pizza after someone suggested that combination on Twitter

Zack even finally got classmates 👍🏻

Even if you hadn't incorporated Mikhail's beard into the conversation, I'd still think, it'd be a great visual storytelling device

Even when he's gone, Ashley never stops to amaze me. That plant porn story is hilarious!

Even though, people might enjoyed an anal sex scene, what we got instead, was so much more authentic and human—thank you for constantly incorporating these important topics in a very sensitive way. And this emphasizes once more that the game, despite being tagged as nswf, is more than that, much more.

When Mikhail talks about the word "friend", I wondered if you call anyone an acquaintance except for when you want to offend them. I have the feeling that we Germans differentiate more than you do in the US.

The ending is interesting: When Zack arrived at the train station, I wondered what could possibly follow because he'll just drive home. But you weren't finished, granted. I still hadn't figured out what was lying ahead and even though, the metaphor about the woman with the suitcase was well-chosen, you didn't catch my attention there. But then, I thought, well, of course, he has to make the call to his parents, and you finally give us that happy ending. You proved me wrong once again. Your revelation that Zack tells this story actually came a bit bumpy. But when Bradon is revealed to sit right opposite of Zack, and they talk, I couldn't stop these tears from falling.

Your illustration of the moments they shared is neck and neck with your milky nebular frame

It's funny, that I thought, Zack should just go with Bradon when that topic first came up. But of course, even though, his parents didn't answer the phone, he needed that moment for himself before he could go with his now-boyfriend and so did Bradon with his epiphany

I can't thank you enough for this outstanding piece of (he)art you've shared with us. I enjoyed this roller coaster ride like not many others. I sincerely hope that we have not seen the last of you.
