This was an absolute joy to read and I loved the personal aspects and how you spoke about how the game affected your own confidence and ability to feel free to experience and enjoy games for the sake of playing them. I have similar experiences myself, and I feel like the emergence of the wholesome games movement speaks to the message that I am not alone in feeling this way. Maybe Kirby was the voice that needed to begin this movement, but now it is kept alive by the creativity of the many indie developers who give new life to it every day.
