My guy friends look at me like I'm crazy whenever I say that I don't like feeling stressed in games, that is does nothing for me. Can we break away from this idea that this makes me a "bad" gamer and instead open our minds to the different ways that people connect with media?

I feel like we're seeing more breadth in games lately, particularly indie games. Moar pls.

Honestly, reading your insights here and elsewhere, and hearing about the work you're doing with TRU LUV has been so validating. I've not spoken much about my feelings about stress in games before because I thought it was just me being a "noob", that I needed to "git gud".

I'm excited to see the industry embrace different approaches to design that appeal to more than one demographic. Please keep innovating. I can't wait to start creating and playing more different kinds of games that follow something other than the trampled path.
