Madness Nw5 Videos

[Lorin Cupples]

Ithas been ages since I owned gaming systems, as insecure housing and unstable income make pleasantries hard to come by. Nevertheless, ever since I was a child I have loved following video game storylines. I relish the quirky, hilarious narratives video games offer and, in video games with more emotional centers to their writing, I am inspired by how profound the overall themes can be. Good writing in video games, even ones with terrifying stories, stays with you and has given me many occasions to grow as a person.

However, as I have gotten older and had various mental health disabilities play a deeper role in my everyday life, I have wondered more and more about how madness has played out in the landscape of video games. How humane is the overall representation of those with mental health disabilities, and how nuanced are the depictions of madness in the current age of video game narratives? Unfortunately, as far as video games are concerned, the life of someone with a mental health disability is a crude and violent one.

Time and again these views of mental illness have been proven incorrect. As frequently as video games associate those with mental illness as being inherently violent or hopeless, the truth is anything but this. In fact, those with mental health issues are more often victims of violence, no more likely to be violent than the general population, even in cases of less common issues like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Both personal and statistical data corroborate this, as well as the reality that people with mental health disabilities live a marginalized existence due to mental health-related persecution. All of this further ignores that reasons like abuse of women, racial discrimination, etc. account for more violence in the US than mental health disabilities do.

As someone who has grown up with video games and seen their potential to carry through profound messages, my sadness with the state of mental health representation is less about facts and more about character variance. I have interests, likes, and quirks like any other person and my madness is simply one dimension of my full character. I can be dealing with madness and still be the same goofy, shy, anxious person I have always been.

Over and over again, the character is warned that their newly gained power will surely drive them to madness. But it does not. In fact, the character retains not only their own agency, but through the climaxes of both Pillars and its sequel, power over countless souls and the reincarnation cycle itself. Though they continue to experience visions of their own past lives and the past lives of others, the player stays in control of their story. Whilst there is a mechanic whereby the player may find themselves unable to accept certain dialogue options, these restrictions are usually due to the character not having the right background or attribute. This is a common mechanic in games of this type, and is not utilised in the game as a way of representing the Mad experience.

In contrast to Pillars of Eternity, Please Knock plays with the giving and taking of that control. A method of interacting with the world is established, then removed, then given back, but in stuttering motions that incite frantic hammering of the keyboard. If Pillars was a passive form of Madness, Please Knock makes it active. In How Games Move Us, Katherine Isbister speaks of how games are unique in their ability to make us feel guilt (Isbister 2017). The bright red option to overdose filled me with a very similar shame and guilt to that which I remember feeling around the time of my own suicide attempts. That sense of wanting to do; wanting not to do; being able to do; not being able to do.

In retrospect, I should never have given her my phone in the first place but what is done is done. Now she masterfully scrolls through YouTube and finds these internet treats even though she cannot type a word. It is as though these video clips find her.

It started as a simple promise that my wife and I made soon after the birth of our daughter. Like most parents, our plan was to never let our daughter watch videos on a miniature electronic screen. Our social interaction with her would be constant. There would be no need for digital distractions. We would thus fulfill our roles as daddy, mommy, and protectors of everything safe and developmentally sound.
