Ya know, I really wanted to do this for chapter 1 but it just never came together. I try not to make the same mistake twice, so here we are.

This is the 2nd longest Psych of Play now right behind the OMORI video and honestly this was one of the most difficult videos to write for me. Sometimes I just want to talk about the game without working in psychology, and this was one of those times haha. But I'm pretty happy with the result and I think it works nicely. I hope you enjoy it! And if you haven't already played chapter 2 of Deltarune, DEW IT! It's free, it's short, and it's tremendous.

Hope you're all doing well! New commentary stream soon!

Protect Noelle at all costs.

In this episode of Psych of Play, we’ll take a deep dive into the psyche of Noelle Holiday, analyze her behaviors, why she is the way she is, why her character works, and how you the player affect her growth.

It always amazes me how you manage to provide so much context so thoroughly while still never interrupting the flow of the video. Whether it's wrestling, Omori, and now Deltarune, I never feel like I'm at a disadvantage when you're discussing something I've never played. :) I totally felt that word scramble test at the beginning. Shades of Glados there too in the commentary. :) Learned helplessness is something that I've dealt with personally in a variety of circumstances. I find it's much harder to be helpless in the face of a loved one's pain than it is to be helpless in the face of your own. The quality of it is different, and sharper in my experience. So that is absolutely a great illustration of a situation that would engender it for Noelle. Beating learned helplessness by the abdication of responsibility or the seizing of control (often through fear or violence) actually feels to me like different manifestations of the same (in my opinion, maladaptive) resolution: the acceptance that agency is a zero-sum game, that you are either the controller or the controlled. In the first instance, you surrender and, in many ways, dissociate from your actions, as you are no longer in control of them. In the second, you are no longer strictly speaking helpless, but you will always be afraid of someone else turning the tables on you, of something coming along to knock you off your throne. It's not liberty: just a different prison. Building agency, as Noelle does in the first route, is one of the best antidotes to feelings of helplessness (get that girl a "Be A Main Character" shirt :)), but I've also found that radical acceptance can be part of that healing as well. There can be a fine line between acceptance and abdication, but the sad truth is that, in some situations, we are entirely powerless. The point of growth is to learn to differentiate between those situations where we can have influence and those where we don't, and meet the latter with acceptance while not letting it impact our confidence in our ability to deal with other situations. As one of my favorite quotes reminds us, "Mental health is a commitment to reality at all costs", and learned helplessness is fundamentally an unhelpful generalization. Even if you're powerless in 99 out of 100 situations, you may well have supreme agency in the 100th. Great work as always. :) Thank you very much.
