>>56454295To expand on this, I was fixated on barry a lot as a youngster.
The only game I had played up to that point was BW and I usually kept the story stuff apart to explore all the routes, but after seeing barry I kinda speedran the game and did almost everything in the post game.
I truly wanted a relationship with someone, another boy specifically like that and was fixated on him. I'm not gay, but I knew the kind of connection that's there is only felt between 2 men. I drew and thought about him in class and wrote him into my English fiction assignments.
Alas, it seems there are no Barrys in the real world, to the disappointment of young me. Feels strange to type all the feelings I got from Barry. I'm still young (19) but I have given up on thinking anyone like Barry does exist.
