If your mental capacity only allow these options, git gud is indeed the better option.
"Git gud" is a term that needs to be stamped out of existence.
- Thread starter CMDR_Vyse
- Start date
Well, his famous works are from the 1590ies and later, where he was in his late 20ies, early 30ies already and barely used the language innovatively for his adolescent rebellion.
That weird youth-slang you find around the internet... wish it would sound as good.
As non-native speaker, I did pick some of it up in my younger days, and thought it was proper english. Lucky me that I didn't call that steelworker with the tree trunk arms some of the words that get flung around here lightly. I might lisp more for my lack of teeth.

Don't usually comment when I can't actually add something to a thread, but feel moved to thank you for making this point. If you'll excuse the pun, being an elitist (see what I did there?) about this kind of game just makes you look like a terrible excuse for a human.

Oh believe me, given I play lol and csgo it's far from my mental capacity, but have to cater towards the forum dads ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
for the Original Poster
There are plenty of places in game, FDev thoughtfully included to help "git good"
Training missions are a good place to start. Try the first with FA off and fly circles around the targets. Slowly at first then increase the speed in increments. Try it daily for 10 minutes, for a week and see if you skill does not improve.
CQC is another place in game to skill up.
from Alex Hayley's Roots, here the protagonist is learning from a mentor
"Roots: Part I (#1.1)" (1977)
Wrestler: Kunta Kinte, the panther has courage. So does the warthog. Which kind of courage should a man have?
Kunta Kinte: The best kind.
Wrestler: If it is for certain that you are not yet a man - and that is for certain - then it is more certain that you are not a philosopher. "The best kind" is not an answer, Kunta Kinte.
Kunta Kinte: Well... a warthog's courage, then.
Wrestler: Why?
Kunta Kinte: Well, a warthog never retreats, he never gives up.
Wrestler: And all the hunters admire that warthog's courage.
Kunta Kinte: That's right.
Wrestler: They all say what a brave animal that warthog is.
Kunta Kinte: That's right.
Wrestler: And all the hunters usually end up killing that warthog. They all usually end up eating that brave warthog.
Kunta Kinte: You think I should have given up today when we were wrestling?
Wrestler: We were not wrestling. I was wrestling. You were charging and flying and landing.
so what do ya wana be, a panther or meat...
"Git good", or some variant, is a term I have heard all my life, I guess I am conditioned to it.
Consider Warcry Primal, you have to "git good" to help your clan survive and thrive.
bring me their ears....
you do realize eons of evolution ended with you as the master in the garden
See your enemies driving before you...
Revel in your time...
name the last two movies that I referenced and I will +rep you for a week

The creative use of everyday language is one of those mechanism that adolescents use to distinguish themselves from the establishment of their parents.
Now in the absence of any real world problems that are worth rebelling against, since war, disease, famine, corruption and weird politics have been extinguished, they need to rebel against teh interweb.
Maybe my concern about the adolescation of the english language is unwarranted, but being the 4th language I picked up, I do care for it's purity and find it worrying that my written and spoken mastery of it surpasses that of native speakers.
tldr; rofl
Er, no. Language use has a direct corellation with intelligence and creativity. If we lived in a world without it, all poetry would be rhyming couplets and all speech would be a level you'd probably find acceptable, which is just above grunting.
The anti-intellectualism you espoused in this post is awful, just awful. Double plus bad for you.
Anopheles
The Bard of Deep Space
The King in the Dark
The Dipthong in the Subclause
Etc, etc.
You are clinging to the particulars too much, what I mean to convey is that language is suppose to be innovative, for that it will never capture all that one attempts to convey, thus it will change and evolve as it has been.
Ah ... 'your' not directed at you personally, but a universal 'your'. As in "If someones mental capacity". No passive aggressiveness intended.
No idea what lol and csgo are.
…
No idea what lol and csgo are.
LoL: league of legends - a mod of a real time strategy game with extremely simplified maps, less units and other gameplay choices to make it more accessible.
CSgo: Counter Strike in modern. Counter Strike being the game those gamers played who hadn't the skill for Quake and needed a slow paced game.
Hmm... Just checked back in with this thread and everyone is talking about wrestling warthogs and dipthongs penetrating subclauses.
Yep.... We're done here...

I'm not sure what this OP wants:
He appears to show humility in his request
but performs a re-enactment of 9/11 with the intellectual level of his post, which has already been quite abysmal after his mistaking swathes of hot air and stupidity for serious conversation, in the very next sentence.
Who are you to forbid people phrases you don't like? Are you some kind of safe space propagandist?
And as for the topic: There are weeks of highly skilled PvP footage on youtube and twitch you can look through if you're looking to learn from players.
Instead of doing this simple thing, you're wasting your time on a forum complaining. This is exactly what prompts the git gud response, not malice or spite.
Hah!

This is fine...for people who enjoy combat. For people who are here to spend their limited free time enjoying trading commodities or exploring the galaxy or whatnot it's wasted time. The problem with the "get good" types is that it's strictly about pew-pew chest pounding, and dismissive of any other way people might prefer to enjoy the sim.
Non-sense. Trading will be made easier in high sec systems by the stronger police response. Already in 2.0 high-sec is very safe for non-combat players, and it will be even safer after 2.1.
Those who don't enjoy combat only have to stick to safe neighbourhoods, as it should have been all along.

Except that you don't have to defeat your opponent every encounter and can focus on fleeing, convenient ignorance at its best.

how about "good game well played" (or in the context of ED if RPing - "you may have lost this fight but you fought well CMDR, see you in the next life") regardless of if won or lost?
Please do not tell me you also condone the T bagging, and dragging out killing moves on gears of war as well?
What ever happened to friendly competitive games?
it is the above kind of attitudes which push many gamers out of "competitive" game modes (like open) in ED. its not always the loss of the fight but the attitude which sometimes go with it.

I used to love frigate PvP in EVE. Very friendly community where it's customary to drop a "gf" (good fight) into chat, win or lose. It's bad manners not to. You could have some good post-fight analysis with other players and learn from your mistakes by understanding what you did wrong and what your opponent did to counter you.
It fostered an attitude where winning and losing were secondary to the enjoyment of pitting your skills and wits against someone else and both of you getting better because of it.
I can agree with this. Like when a fully decked combat ship takes out some weaponless cargo ship it not good clean fun or any such thing it just plain douchbaggery.
Not saying using such a ship in open is the bestest idea either but IF I am going to pvp it want it to be fun and exciting not boring fish in a barrel shooting.
Maybe I'm being an old fart but to me Git Gud goes along with noob, it may have been started more along the lines of newb but I see it being used more to be insulting like noob.

Well, I did go by the meaning of innovative, not by the buzzword bingo use.
In that context juvenile slang to distinguish the incomplete, angsty personality from an oppressive and marginalizing world is not exactly new. It's a concept as old as ancient Greece at least.
To find some new approach would be innovative. On message boards? Using proper spelling and a decent grammar.
Too much to ask I suppose. After all it is the internet (insert random meme).
Friendly competition is incredibly boring. It's all so devoid of emotion and drama, it's all so fake.
