LISA resonates a lot with me because I saw a lot of my own dad in Marty than I was ready to. He grew up in a small european town and my mom said his parents beat him a lot, and a lot of that stuck with him. He never laid a finger on me but he was almost impossible to talk to, We couldn’t communicate with eachother without him lashing out in frustration, which eventually led to conversations with him turning into a dangerous minefield where I needed to figure out the right thing to say during his lectures/rambles without making him explode. So most of my memories with him are me cowering around him like a kicked puppy or something. But at the same time, I have a lot of good memories with him because he still tried to be a good father to me despite the shitty hand he was given. He taught me how to ride a bike and eventually figured out that a good way to communicate ideas to me is through movies, so I’ve seen a lot of classic movies through him. I’m still in contact with him, LISA’s ending makes me want to tell him that he was a good dad im the end.

A brief summery for those curious: Brad's trauma comes from his sister and his father. After their mother was out of the picture Marty replaced her with his daughter, and would "assault" her repeatedly. Brad was beaten by their father regularly and told that he was pathetic. Marty would also force Brad to "assault" his sister as well. Eventually Lisa convinced the boy who is in love with her to mutilate her face in an attempt to stop the "assaults" it fails and she ends herself. Brad blames himself and his father for what happened and probably hates himself and hates his father more than anyone else.

But if Brad doesn't take the responsability (guilt) from his father's actions, he'll be blamed anyways. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.

When this game came out months after the time the Last of Us did made me honestly feel insulted. People give a lot of accolades to TLoU, but I always saw it as a blockbusterfication/misrepresentation of real suffering mixed with a very over-cinematic base game. Lisa, I feel deserved everything TLoU got. I know it's not a AAA game, but I find the real pain and messages given masterfully in Lisa with a very similar story to TLoU so much more wrenching and teaching and most of all Sincere.

Never got the idea that first TLoU game was about showcasing realistic suffering. It's moreso an examination of our motivations to continue carrying on. We don't see self-destructive behaviors or sit with the depressing moments, Joel's journey deliberately quickly moves past moments of reflection. The payoff is that speech with Ellie at the end where he's giving a mature response about finding reasons to carry on, while she's grappling with inconsistencies of his account of the fireflies, her recent loss of purpose, and knowledge that he used similar justifications that pushed Tommy away. I liked the first game cause it let you come to your own conclusions about Joel's actions and whether you interpeted that as a cynical or optimistic view of the human condition. 2 goes against this message but there's enough evidence for me to believe that they didn't go into 1 intending Joel was meant to be a villain. There were a few father daughter apocalypse games at the time. I appreciate what they were trying to be their own thing with their own message. These 2 games were in development before the success of Telltale's Walking Dead and I think it's a real shame that because of the coincidental timing that we fell the need to compare them. I consider all 3 good stories. (And indie games were only just beginning to get mainstream validation back then. Lisa never stood a chance)

Choice is a thing, a good thing. I would like to argue for the ignorance of an individual to not even have the concept that there is a choice available. As a person who struggles with a difficult upbringing, I have found that there have been multiple instances when I actually could have done something either differently or at all. The trauma from my youth made me unable to even see the options. Intention and understanding is not universal and if someone is standing around when something happens, that person could be me. I don’t mean to leave it all up to you and I certainly am not waiting for you to fail, I’m so busy being in shock and scared as hell that I just didn’t know I could help. As a child I couldn’t and I return to that place when i feel threatened. It’s not even me it’s my subconscious which enters a kind of survival mode (something like if I just lay low maybe it won’t happen to me too). I hope that makes sense to anyone reading this. It’s not an excuse this is what I observed in myself through friends who knew better and did better than me. I feel regret because I consider myself a good person. Therefore I try to change. It’s a process that I’m still working on. Thank you for choosing to take the time to read this. Good luck out there.

yeah. Like I know I got into my abusive relationship as a result of the abuse from my mother. I could've made choices to protect myself but I was completely ignorant of those choices. However I did do what I knew, survive. In that survival I did things that... while not condemning, don't make me look good. And then I see similar patterns play out in others, notably, particularly in men. Like... genuinely good people becoming "bad" in those moments. And it's tricky because often times, their bad behavior is in direct response to flagrant mistreatment. Like I know when I looked up a video game account to see if she had lied to me, it was in direct response to her repeatedly telling me one thing then doing another with respect to that game. What she did was genuinely awful. Yet what I did was inappropriate. Now I realize that if a relationship gets to that point, leave. Don't even try.

It's so convenient that these depictions of trauma always circle back around to the traumatized being solely responsible for resolving what was done to them, what was allowed to be done to them. Small wonder then that so much of therapy seems to revolve around coping. But is shame really what they're coping with, or is it having to live with the knowledge that no matter what, the outside world will never take responsibility for its part? I've never felt any shame for what's happened to me. Why, don't you?

Because that's the big lesson: there's no way to become "normal" once you've gone through enough trauma. It's sad, and it's unfair, but that's reality. It's kind of like how a lot of males who were molested as children grow up to be molesters themselves. They didn't deserve the horrible act in the first place but only the individual's efforts can prevent falling down a spiral of trauma and doing the same horrible thing to someone else. Sure, it isn't "fair" to have to live with horrible trauma and be held responsible for it's terrible effects, but the only other choice is ignoring the effects and spreading the same style trauma to someone else to make things feel "fair", which also isn't fair. Basically, the skin-deep modern internet understanding of second-to-second fairness is very flawed as nothing in life is truly fair and therefore everything is. You just have to do your best with your own shitty hand you were dealt, which you can't control, because no one can.

Currently, there is no way to erase pre-existing trauma; you can do the work and find healthy ways of coping with it or let it destroy you and others around you, that's about it. And again, I think more funding for trauma treatment and prevention is a good thing, but dumping money on a problem doesn't really make it just vanish like magic. Otherwise, all the celebrities and CEOs who rose to the top from traumatic lives would probably become better people the richer they get but, in real life, usually the exact opposite happens and the only ones who live healthy lives do so because they choose to address their trauma in healthy ways.

If you can accept that a person has moments where they aren't in control of their will, then how can you know that a person is ever in control of their will, besides, the acceptance of the former precludes the platitude of being free to choose one's own way or at least requires the qualifier, somtimes.

this was a lovely watch. an old friend of mine held lisa: the painful dearly, and this reminded me of him telling me to not play it because of some things i had recently been through. he's probably right, but i still really enjoyed this video on its themes.

I'm so happy you finally played played LISA the painful. I hugely recommend Lisa the Hopeful and Pointless if you wish to continue on the journey, though I'm uncertain if they will resonate with you quite as much as their philosophies are different. Worthwhile venture regardless, even if you dont make a video about em, hope you play em.

Here's a suggestion, Max: a video that gathers all the final messages from your videos, but focusing on the authors and people who brought the ideas worked on in the games, animes, etc., as well as their works, something like a reading guide to the philosophies and subjects of the games that you've already talked about. Excelent video!

I like this game but I couldn't for the life of me finish it. I tried twice but the story put me in distress multiple times. And aspects about growing up in an abusive household and becoming abusive yourself are something that hits wayyy to close to home. It was so hard that I couldn't even enjoy the fun parts. I didn't even see them as such until you put them this way. To me until now they always felt random but the parts about paranoia were like a call back. I'm happy other people can enjoy this game

A lot of people don't know that the idea for Lisa was born when the creator's girlfriend told him about how she was abused as a child and he thought it was really funny

Silent hill is such a treasure one of my biggest art inspirations. The trauma of seeing it raped and deformed in the more recent iterations and movies was enough for me. It’s like the ability to portray what silent hill was has been taken out of the minds of people that existed in the 90’s and early 2000’s, now it’s just a ghost 😢
