Ness Peace sprite The Unimaginable Amount of Emotional Support EarthBound has truly given me

How it’s really helped me to cope with healing from a brain injury emotionally

Some time last year, I posted here about my story of experiencing a traumatic brain injury caused from an AVM rupture and how EarthBound has truly helped me to cope with what I was going through emotionally

Just recently I celebrated my 5 year anniversary of running an Instagram account called “CoasterBound” @coaster_bound which is centered around my passion for roller coasters as a roller coaster enthusiast and I just had to do something special to celebrate it

In the video I go over how EarthBound truly inspired me as I genuinely do not think there is a single game out there that gets nearly as close to what I’ve been through emotionally to my traumatic, near-death experience as much as this one does

I honestly really wish I could genuinely thank Itoi someway somehow or any of the developers for creating this game because it’s truly been such a huge emotional support for me while I’ve been going through something so traumatic and physically excruciating

It’s amazing how a game can make such a huge difference in a life. I think there is a lot of stories about how EarthBound has changed life.

Earthbound’s a very life-affirming game, definitely. I’m glad you came through your ordeal as well as you have, and I’m sure Itoi would be touched to hear about it. I don’t know myself, but I’m sure there must be some way to get a message through to him, either through a direct line or through his company.

EarthBound is truly a game about life, a testament to it, so it’s easy to know why it helps so many people.

Every anniversary I’ll pay respects and say I’m sorry
For they never stood / A chance, as if they could
When no one knows what it’s like to be us
