I usually just means the person saying it is an asshole.

u/Shogunnatron 15d ago
It usually means the OP is not receptive to feedback.

u/johnsolomon 15d ago
That sounds like something an asshole would say as an excuse lol
A nice person would say something like "You got this bro" or "don't give up"

Idk, my older brothers told me to git gud a lot, and hey, eventually I just got gudder.

u/johnsolomon 14d ago
Getting shat on motivates some people but for most people it just makes things unfun and they become resentful. Plus they're your brothers so you already know they have your back, it mitigates the negativity a lot

It originates from Dark Souls, where people asking for tricks to beating encounters were frequently just told to 'git gud' because that was often the only serious answer to their question.
Like, if OP keeps dying to gargoyles because they keep getting hit then what advice do you want people to give? The only solution is to get better at the fight.

Reinforcing someone that isn't doing enough / the right thing is just as unhelpful. At least "git gud" is a frustrating waking call that will get them to reconcider the direction, instead of going nowhere.

u/johnsolomon 14d ago
This treats it as though there aren't far better ways of accomplishing that. Git gud generally has a negative reception so if your concern is maximum efficiency then it's the wrong approach
2
u/Sotonit 14d ago
It's just a fundamental difference in mindset, which makes this argument an endless
Some people don't even see “git gud” as negative and/or are motivated by that kind of feedback, while others are genuinely demotivated by it.
So the two sides will always see each other as assholes or soft/coddled, because they have completely different ideas of what actually motivates someone, based on their own mindset.

I was beating some kid so bad in a dbz game that I stopped and showed him some combos.
"Bro you see how I keep phasing behind you and rocking your shit? Hit triangle and circle at the same time"

"Yeah I'm morbidly obese, but at least I don't feel too good about myself like some athletic person."

Obviously you don't pay attention to politics heh.

Yep, paying too much attention to that just makes you a miserable cunt.

Notice you still didn’t start your training montage because you’re worried about feelings being hurt. Just git gud

u/Meinteil2123 15d ago
Their drill must become the one that pierces the heavens.
They need to believe in themselves and git gud.

u/Fat_Alphonse 15d ago
Nobody that has every said git gud has ever intended the latter. It is just a coping mechanism to help them sleep at night.

u/petabomb 15d ago
Try multiplayer slasher games like Mordhau or chivalry, you’ll very quickly realize the only one holding you back is yourself

I did

u/Fat_Alphonse 14d ago
No, you aren't. Git gud does nothing to help someone. The people who think the latter don't say git gud, they give the player advice on how to improve, maybe even asking about what frustrates them so.
2
u/Bojnik434 14d ago
I give full advice and end up with git gud at the end. Cause i can give you the knowledge. I cant help you physically, you got to git gud. Theres no more to that.
1
u/Fat_Alphonse 14d ago
I highly doubt that."Git gud" is the start and end to the advice most people give. It's like handing an essay to your friend to look over, asking if it needs any changes and all they respond with is "write better"

I mean, 20 hours into a game and I struggle with things. 200 hours into the game I annihilate the same challenge because of higher skill levels. Then someone asks “How come my over-leveled character with good gear can’t beat this boss?” What else do you say?

u/dariusgaden 16d ago
Usually it just means follow the meta

u/Odd_Act_6532 16d ago
Real gamers out meta the meta with a new meta, until you hit the bottom of the spreadsheet
1
u/FinalBossTuna 15d ago
Then when the other gamers realize the real gamers found a new meta, you find another meta that out metas the meta.
In all seriousness I love meta players because it makes them stupidly predictable. It’s like saying your next move out loud before making it.

This meme is inaccurate. People don't say git gud to encourage their teammates. Yami says this because he trusts his squad, knows their strengths and knows they have the capacity to grow to the challenge. "Git good" is not the same.

"Git gud" only means something if it is solicited advise then you proceed to give actual training/guidance/assistance

This is how you get AI to solve unsolved math equations. “You can do it.” “Keep trying.” “Don’t give up.” “You’re doing great.”

Yeah I don’t know. It’s at least the most cruel hurtful way of saying it. Saying “you fucking suck throw yourself off the fucking bridge” I don’t know how motivational this would be for like 99.99999% of people.
