LenSo, I'll tell you all a secret: I don't actually like platforming. I never have. All the way back to Super Mario Land on the gameboy when I was a wee one, platforming has filled me with dread. "What if I fall? Then I'll have to do the whole fucking thing again!".All I ever get from it is relief at completing a section, or maybe satisfaction at completing an arbitrary difficult task, no joy in the actual movement itself.My sibling wanted to know why I powered through Celeste if this was the case. Well, in the case of Celeste, I wanted to find out what happened next, I was spellbound by the story and its portrayal of depression, I didn't want to let the game beat me, I felt it was good personal growth, and - here's the other secret - I genuinely wanted to help Madeline.I have (or, at least had) an extremely powerful suspension of disbelief¹ capability. Since I was a kid, I've thrown myself into videogames with a sense of *duty*, that I'm actually helping the protagonist save their world or whatever, and that if I don't help them then that world goes unsaved.It's only pretty recently - in the last year or so - that I realised I was actually still doing this.Anyway, this brings us to Hollow Knight and Silksong. When I beat The Radiance, I did it because I genuinely wanted to end Hallownest's infection, and save everyone. This was no longer the case by the time I started on Silksong.There were sections of Celeste that made my heart sink. I can distinctly remember thinking "you want me do do WHAT?!". But I powered through it, for all the reasons above.Well, I've started to get that feeling from Silksong, in the clockwork core. Only this time, I don't actually care about saving the inhabitants of this fictional world. And there's no touching lesson to be learned about overcoming the struggles of mental illness.And here's the thing: having played Celeste I'm confident that it has actually given me the skills to do the platforming.But, well, I don't want to. I realised how viscerally I dislike platforming, and that I no longer have other motivations to push through it. And all the stress can't be good for me.And god I'm conflicted about that! When so much of one's identity is tied up in playing video games (and I realise that's not ideal) it sucks to hate a game that everyone else loves.Oh well.1: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Silksong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Silksong</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#videogames</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/introspection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introspection</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Celeste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celeste</a>
