The thing that makes me upset isn't that it's not for me. I accept that plenty of games aren't for me, and that I shouldn't play them. I'm never going to get into Dark Souls or Elden Ring, because they aren't going to be my thing. The part that makes me upset is that Hollow Knight very much _was_ for me, and was a game I enjoyed and have very fond memories of. I was very much looking forward to Silksong, but the difficulty is so much higher that I can no longer engage with this world I once loved. It feels in TV terms like watching Season 1 of a show and really getting into it, and then when Season 2 comes out, you excitedly start watching - episode 1, episode 2, but your TV somehow stops working every time you start the third episode. Or any episode after the third. Everyone is talking about how great the show is and you've seen clips and you want to experience it, but no matter how much you try, you can't. If I hadn't seen Season 1, I'd just give up after those two episodes like "That show's obviously not working for me" - but I _have_ seen Season 1. I'm invested, yet now I can't see it through. _That's_ why I'm upset.

Yeah, if I need to practice in order to enjoy it, I will just go play something else. "Able to play Silksong" is not a skill that is useful enough to invest practice time into it.
