Game screenshot of two Black men, Jacob and Corey, having a brunch date in a restaurant. Text reads: "I laugh too and he absently kisses the palm of my hand, still looking for our waitress." The two men have been dating since they were 16 and 17 and the game developer holds back happy tears seeing them together in adulthood. KEEG AND OKE?!? YOU'RE NEXT, BABES!!

...it's been enough time, yeah? screenshot Sunday, y'all KNOW the drill!!! 🤣

Two teen black boys, one leans his face against the other's back. Both boys have soft smiles.

The logo sits in the middle of the screen; two text bubbles that sit on top of each other with a broken heart and red heart emoji.
