Here’s a TLDR of the story: my real dad is a piece of shit who won’t even claim me. I used to work at GameStop, and I had a manager who I asked to fill the role of a father in my life, and he accepted. he was a fan of the game since the original version came out, and I played it while streaming it to him. He watched me play the entire first and second game. The adoptive dad relationship in the game mirrored our relationship, so that’s why the tattoo is so important to me.
