I think it is a case of using a purposefully absurd metaphor because more straight forward ones are too obviously in conflict with basic immutable, toxic aspects of people’s belief systems (drilled and blasted through in their childhoods) that function to labotomize their empathy for the hardships of others.
You know how like other cultures use fairy tales and myths to talk about taboos or impossible truths so does “western” culture use the absurd framework of spoons to talk about the “impossible” state of being incapable of what the ruling class demands of us daily.
Fundamentally you dont have to let the game you are playing perceive the gyro input directly at all, the game sees it as mouse or gyro input. That being said make sure you arent sending joystick input and mouse input at the same time, that can break things in many weird ways.
The simplest solution is just to make everything appear like mouse and keyboard which again bypasses the game having anything to do with gyro input before it is safely converted to normal mouse input.
