[@davidbondy2250]

I've had a similar thing happen with my anxiety. I have a fear of failure and of disappointing people. The only reason I didn't use the word "crippling" is because that's what it used to be. A combination of talking about it, therapy, and Dark Souls has made me accept that failure is an acceptable learning tool. I ended up going from fearing to turn in a homework assignment to thinking "okay, even if this sucks, that is fine because no good professor wants to see you fail." Why? Because I had an arena where each time I failed, I laughed about it and tried again. Even when I played with friends, some of who are veteran Dark Souls players, I just laughed. When I spoke with a professor about my struggles, I was no longer on the verge of tears: I was cracking jokes. Even now, I'm amazed that a video game became a platform that has helped me get to a healthier emotional state. ChibiGeeBee, I seriously hope you find the help you need. Whether that be therapy, talking about it with friends and/or family, or even just a shitton of Gittin' Gud in Dark Souls, I hope you can experience happiness in life. Praise the Sun :)

It is advice as old as time itself. Passed down, generation to generation, since before the age of ancients. So you see, "get good" is not some dismissive meme, quite the contrary.

[@TheSassCannon7]

Ironically this is what I genuinely tell my friends who struggle in Souls-esque games. A lot of them struggle and the only real advice I can give them is "find a play style and get good with it." Cause that's honestly what those games boil down to. Now yeah, there's some cheesy weapons in each game, but those are usually only found if you already know the games well enough to find them in the first place. Those literally cannot matter if you're not good enough at the game to have the ability to procure the items anyway.

The whole point is tho that it's not a troll. Even people who tell you this in spite without the flowery package are still right. At least, for the large majority of the souls experience.

[@benedict6962]

The primary conceit is the belief that there is a singular piece of advice that solves the problem. There isn't. In the first place, there are so many viable playstyles that noone can really tell you what'll work for you. Sometimes there are hidden mechanics or formula that make the whole thing make sense, but that requires a) you're reasonably competent in a playstyle, and b) you know what questions to ask. If you're just throwing out blanket "how to win?" questions, you're going to get blanket "git gud" answers.

[@michaelk4480]

“Git Gud” isn’t a troll phrase for most people who’ve played Dark Souls, but I see how it could be mistaken as such by those who haven’t played the series (and I suspect many players looking for advice also feel it’s a troll until they themselves understand its meaning). What Solaire says here is actually at the heart of the game’s design. It’s a metaphor for life: yes it’s hard and you will fail, but what matters is you learn, keep going and never give up. The game encourages you to try, don’t you dare go hollow. It’s an antidote to the sugar coated participation trophy BS and bulldozer parenting that leads to narcissism and entitlement. That’s why I think the game has famously helped so many people overcome depression. It’s so beloved by its fans because it is a revelatory experience providing crucial life lessons that are no longer being taught. Git Gud is simply telling people to keep at it. There isn’t a trick. DS is so well designed and balanced that anyone can succeed, hell, people can beat it using literal bananas (look it up)! However, since “git gud” it became a meme there are plenty of people who now use it to troll. If you see it used in context of games that aren’t souls-like, (especially competitive multiplayer games like CoD, Halo, etc.) that’s probably a troll.

Really powerful and wise advice from a game meant to torture and destroy every fiber of your being...

[@Sinestra666]

It's a game that's meant to purge weakness and bring out your true potential. In that sense, yes. It breaks you, but only so you can recover stronger than before. Stronger than it can hurt you. Strong enough that little else can break you again.

[@neybee5000]

You should change 'torture an destroy' to ;test and develop'

[@whifta]

To torture and destroy... Or to cause you to git gud.

[@nickolaswilliams9647]

Well I don't think it is meant to torture you at all. Yes it can seem like that at 1st, I think the biggest turning point for me was accepting I failed and died. If you accept "death" or "failure" it doesn't become an aggravating game. It's not about being the best, or "purging your weakness". It's just about learning where not to fail, and were to persevere. 1st time I was hitting my head against everything to kill it. Wasn't quick wasn't strong. I just wasn't dying, which meant I was winning. My progress started with the simple shield and spear, judge me all you want. But it was progress, and that I think the essence of "git gud". Praise the Sun, my fellow Sunbros.

[@bramvanduijn8086]

They could have said "Reaction speed is important, so train to improve your reaction speed" but instead they said "git gud". I don't see how the second is more helpful than the first. It lacks specificity. Some more details would help like "find [specific weak enemy], and instead of killing them practice your dodging and study their movement patterns. Then once you can dodge them forever without watching their moves, move on to the next enemy." But no, they just say "git gud". Or "Pick an enemy you know you can easily beat, and then try out different armor and weapons until you figure out how to work with them", but that would require teaching skills, it is much easier to say "git gud". Basically, they're not teaching.

Indeed, I think it's a life lesson for everyone. Most advice people give is "git gud" but you hardly hear what you need to get "git gud" at.

@@stevenlee3240 I think the whole relying on parents/family to teach you shouldn't be people's mindset, even some parents don't (or won't) have the time to teach their children.

Even now I struggle with a lot, some of that is down to my own health problems. I'm fortunate enough these days that there who are people I know are willing to be patient with me. But not everyone is fortunate enough. I think with some people is they've figured things out and don't realise that there's some people who haven't. Things come easier to some people than others. In the case of this video there's a lot of Bens out there still in need of a Solaire. Giving someone a little bit of help doesn't hurt.

[@stevenlee3240]

@@mnArqal93 That's why I said only our parents actually did that. If even they don't do that, then no one will tbh. Professionals for help? They will only teach you about work and thing you need to know to enter the professional world, not teaching you how to live. You either teach yourself on that regard or your parents (Or your guardians, etc.). Thing such as manner, way of speech, behavior, and stuffs like that are taught to you by your parents (guardians) and school, and even school doesn't sit down and carefully teach you that either. They have many children to tend to. If parents don't instruct you when you were young, then you'll have to "git gud" yourself but don't expect anyone else actually explain to you how to "git gud".

It's just meant to say that the game doesn't need to change for you to enjoy it and to beat it. I think people psyche themselves out before they play the game. They are scared of failure and that's the only real way to go hollow. Contrary to popular belief most of the souls community ive played with are very much like solaire in this video. Most of us will help you in any way we can, explain whatever you need to know, walk you through the game but at the same time will let you know that learning how to deal with the challenges yourself in your own way is its own rewarding experience AND that everyone had to get good at some point. We all died, it took us practice so don't be discouraged. And no matter how good you are you will still die and it is not failure. So whoever wrote this speech you're a champ. Well played sunbro

I held my own against the number 3 best 9 ball player in the world in my early 20's. I practiced by myself for 8 to 15 hours a day sometimes shooting the same ball in the same spot for hours learning every last detail of it until i could make it consistently. I would eat the pool hall food every day, some days so tired after i would sleep in my truck and go back in when they opened back up. Their are people that are natural pool players that can just see the lines but i wasn't one of them. It took weeks of two girls holding my hips and laying inbetween my legs to learn how to stand correctly, would get smacked with a stick if i "jumped up" on a shot, would have to do 20+ pushups any time i hit the ball harder than i needed to (arms became like jellow from that) and many more gruelling things. They have found a genetic marker for athleticism and found practically every top performing athlete tested so far has it, all but 1; that man got to the top by nothing but grit and sheer determination. No matter what you decide to take on in this life if you do as i have and shoot the same shot until you understand every detail of it to make it consistently then you'll limit your misses to almost zero. Wish you all the best in this life, stay strong. 💪

This is probably the best thing I've seen in a long while. It's so hard not to dismiss those words since they get used mostly for trolling, but gotta give it to Solaire, who just made it into the greatest wisdom to ever be taught.

[@asherandai2633]

It was always the greatest wisdom. It just got lost, buried beneath rage and frustration, and misused/overused by the arrogant. I learnt this myself around Dark Souls original release. Couldn't get past blighttown for the longest time, got told "git gud" so often, and ended up rage quitting. Went back a year later, and a year smarter, and I realised how so many other games are just... well, soulless. Progression in most other games is just about what level you are or how strong your equipment is. But in Dark souls those things are almost meaningless. Instead Dark Souls progression is about you, not your character. You improve yourself to progress. As soon as I figured that out I realised most of the "git gud" I received wasn't insults but actual advice. The game became so much easier that things I couldn't do at lv200 with a +10 weapon I could suddenly easily do at lv20 with my bare hands. I actually started applying it to other games, ones that just let you progress through levels and equipment, and I found it worked in most of those too. Then I applied it to real life, and gained things I thought were not within reach. Dark Souls literally changed my life by teaching me such a basic lesson that in hindsight should have been obvious.
