![]() If the player misses this detail in this chapter, the final level in July 2018 shows the main character moving in with this partner and setting up a nursery, and the final credits make it undeniable that the main character is in a queer relationship with another woman. ![]() In the next chapter in November 2015, another woman moves in and, notably, sets up in the same bed as our main character. The first time the player encounters the main character’s queerness is when she needs to unpack a pair of rainbow socks after moving into an apartment with a lot of extra space in January 2013. Unpacking takes players through the mundane but heartwarming parts of a queer person’s life, without making it so subtle that it can be ignored. The queer stories depicted in popular media tend to focus either on the suffering of queer characters or a traumatic coming out, both of which do not accurately represent the journey that a queer person goes through as they enter adulthood and learn how they want to express their queerness. ![]() When everything is unpacked, the game forces the player to hide the picture away in a cabinet or drawer. If the player tries to put this picture up on the wall, a red pushpin is stuck directly into the face of the boyfriend. The next time the object placement alarm feature is used for the story is in the very next level, when the main character moves back into her room in her parent’s house from the first level and keeps a picture of herself and the boyfriend.

Once it’s full and I start a new cycle, I switch it back to the green “clean” side so that when it’s finished running, anyone can unload it and put the dishes away or just fish whatever they want from there to use." - Amazon Customer It sticks great to my stainless KitchenAid dishwasher, and as soon as I unload it I switch it to the red “dirty” side so everyone knows not to grab glasses from there. ![]() Not only did it stop my MIL from using dirty dishes she was retrieving from the dishwasher instead of the cupboard, it helped my husband and I stay on track with loading and unloading it accordingly. After my son was born and I returned to work, we had both sets of parents watching our baby every week on different days, and things got chaotic around here. Promising review: "I never thought I would need one of these magnets, but I’m that person who thoroughly rinses everything before loading it into the dishwasher, and that started causing some confusion for our family. Since getting this, we've never once not known if the dishes were clean or dirty.
