"Git gud" is a term that needs to be stamped out of existence.
- Thread starter CMDR_Vyse
- Start date
NPC's for the most part were pretty easy to beat especially when you flew a decently kitted out ship, combat orientated or not. Ramping up their abilities is surely a good thing as you are then required to improve your own skills, most games work this way the further you get the harder the opponent's become, the same old skill set baddies get stale.
Hey, sounds like you're describing the original poster there.
You know, whining about things not going their way in a game, people then telling them to deal with it, then them whining like a child.
Hey, instead of posting that at me, wouldn't the original post have been a better recipient?
Oh for the love of god...
There are elitists on the forums for a fact, many of which are absolute snobs. However you don't have to respond to them if you don't want to. Ignore them. Personally I'd rather read what people have to say, because sometimes they have a good point, hell even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Demanding the thought-police round them up and toss them off the boards is a very regressive thing to do.
I like you - have some rep.
I just take offence at the user's apparent lack of ability to spell.
Couldn't agree more - repped!
Well, sometimes its meant in a more silly and fun way, but lots of times its... eh. Two of my favortie games being Elite and the Souls game I see it a lot, its tiresome. Some people are just way too serious about the Games.
Sure, but you shouldn't try to FORCE people to tread on eggshells just because you don't like certain words or phrases.

Theory of fun and why games matter by Ralph Koster.
One of the main sources of fun is learning. If you don't use games to learn but to confirm what you already know, they're not fun. They might cater to your craving for approval, but that's not the same. Being constantly patted on the back does get boring.
Being good or bad is irrelevant. Learning matters.

I am presuming you might be old enough to be or have been a parent, or empathize with the concept of parenting.
After say your child is 5-6 years old - and has learned to walk and talk to a proficient degree - what happens when your child falls over, and starts to sniffle - do you spend the next hour or so demonstrating the various ways not to trip and fall over curbs, food wrappers and shoelaces etc., while crooning sweet noises to sooth the child's physical pain. I do not think so....
You say, common, get up, lets go - it hurts, be brave...
GIT GUD....!!!
I think many gamers, and internet users often mistake the natural inter-human dialogue, showing a normal lack of sympathy (and perhaps a playful shove while some one is down) as some sort of personal slight.
People really need to stop taking offence at every chance, and grow a pair...
GIT GUD...!!!
As to toxicity...
I think there is a current phenomenon in human cultural evolution - where we are becoming self important - due to the platform the internet gives us. It is a concerning trend, especially where mixed with a "politically correct" mindset.
So I think the toxicity the OP refers to is escalated to by a misunderstanding in internet communication...
For example: a reader of an anonymous text message - is often misinterpreting that message (because it has no tonal or facial cues).
This often leads to the reader of a text message to project their own mindset onto the meaning of the text..
If a text message is read for arguments sake by someone who has a strong preconception of how the world should be (someone who values and trusts their own interpretation of the world around them) - they may well read more into what is being said, as it is a human survival trait to find trends - even when there are none...
On the flip side, if you are young and the horizon is bringing new things to you on a regular basis, you are less inclined to project your understanding of the world onto everything around you, and in the case of internet text communication - be less inclined to incorrectly interpret ambiguity. And you will also have a propensity go with the flow until you understand. Which in many cases would result in you shouting, "GIT GUT" at the next available chance and being at one with your internet peers.
GIT GUD...!!!
Malice - "GIT GUD" in my opinion is not intentionally meant as a slight, but usually a playful term in internet-intercourse, but if you are not familiar with the wider internet culture, you may misinterpret it's meaning - and inadvertently, bring a level of malice and toxicity to gaming and online human interaction...
So my recommendation would be to...
GIT GUD...!!!

As others already have said, there are quite a few terms/phrases/slang words we could do without around here.
But it also depends on the context it's said in, sadly more often than not these things are used in a dismissive and derogatory manner.
To be honest, i'm actually pleasantly surprised how sparsely "git gud" has been flung at people during the 2.1 beta discussions.
I don't feel it's been all that bad really.

It's the "everybody is a winner" nonsense this generation has been taught since elementary school. They feel they are entitled to absolute verbal safety at all times.
Instead of depending on others to deal with one's inaptitude at communication and poor manners, one could of course try to improve those.
But of course the entitlement attitude is only a point if one can use it against others.
O tempora , o mores. :}

We are all entitled to certain things by law.
An emotional pillow fort and immunity to being challenged intellectually are not on that list.
git gud.
I completely agree that the term is offensive when used improperly, but at the right moment, "Git gud skrub" can be hilarious.
