Coming from someone who has spent the last 6 months diagnosing nerve pain throughout my arm and hand this hits very close to home. I loved HK and SS but this was an incredibly hard experience when one hand is either out of sync or in agony after an hour of two. Getting older sucks
@mackeza.bsky.socialI was having an extremely bad time last year. I started experiencing excruciating pain in my right arm, pain that lasted for months (it's ongoing now). When Hollow Knight Silksong came out, I didn't know if I'd even be able to play it. On Silksong and suffering: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Four months and 40 hours later: my epic battle with 2025’s most difficult video game
When Hollow Knight: Silksong came out last summer I was in so much pain that I didn’t know if I’d be able to play it. Could a video game teach me anything new about suffering?
