I was recently made aware that Life Is Strange: Double Exposure has a character just like me. I don’t just mean that they say things similar to me or even dress the same. I mean that Moses from the newest Life Is Strange game looks just like me (at least when I’m freshly cut and trimmed) and he even has my ding dang name! Sure, I’m Moises and he’s Moses, but if you anglicize my name, it’s the same shit.
I don’t know whether I should be flattered, or get on the phone with some lawyers. I’m only joking about the lawyer bit. I’m a writer who lives in New York, I’m too poor to even play at getting legal representation.
Most I could do is ring up some friends who went to law school and poke around before they realize they should be billing me for the consultancy. With that option completely off the table, I’ve fully given into flattery. Moses seems like a sweet and decent enough guy.
He’s a good friend of both Max and Safi in Double Exposure , and seems to embody some of the same ideals and passions that I do. A video from the developers and publisher gives a brief introduction to the guy, who’s apparently a physicist and a nerd, highlighting his love of set rules, games, anime, and other dorky shit. He’s a heavy-set dude too, and is rocking countless layers just like I do.
This , folks, is what it feels like to be seen. Moses is such a stereotype, and it’s got me excitedly kicking my feet over here because it feels like the crystallization of a wonderf.
