-- it's incredibly vague advice like "just level up more!" or "just learn the boss' patterns!" or some stupid shit. You never see actually properly curated advice depending on game, mechanics, and player struggles. Ofc it's not always easy, which is why everyone acts like pompous bitches I guess.

And of course, virtually all the time it's just stupid "Git Gud". For the literal hundreds of times I've seen these discourses, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen ACTUALLY solid advice being given. Whenever people aren't complaining about the whiny ass "bad players"--

Some people, no matter how "talented" or good at video games, have work, or busy lives which make them unable to play video games 90% of the time. But apparently not wanting to spend the 30-minutes-a-day of gaming you have dying & retrying the same video game segment is cringe.

And of course, another extremely obvious issue is the player-base. A lot of those nerd dumbasses don't seem to realize there is an INCREDIBLY-WIDE spectrum between "Let Me Solo Her" guy and "Video Game Journalist". They also vastly underestimate the amount of players who are VERY casual.

-- without the segments being straight up bullshit (the most common example, of course, being artificial difficulty).
But of course, that's irrelevant, because if you don't drink two cups of coffee after doing 32 sit-ups at 3:41 AM on a blue moon to beat a boss, you're trash at the game.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a "perfectly designed" game. There will ALWAYS be a "ceiling"; the problem is, the higher the skill-based requirements, the lower that ceiling gets, because it is exponentially difficult to add lots of elements that make something GENUINELY hard--

REGARDLESS of how valid the criticism is, REGARDLESS of how objective the facts are, or how actually badly designed things are, you will ALWAYS have a bunch of nitpicky assholes who will make bad-faith arguments about how it's your fault and you're shit at the game actually.

RNG-based bullet spread that makes it sometimes statistically, literally, physically, metaphorically IMPOSSIBLE to dodge no matter the situation? "Git Gud". Couldn't find by yourself a secret passage where you have to randomly hit a wall with a rusted weapon at 5:41 AM in real time? "Git Gud".

Failed to dodge a fake ""homing"" attack because the enemy magically dragged itself onto your position because you were in the hitbox when it started moving 15 seconds ago? "Git Gud". Boss has 6 different moves that start with the exact same animation, but only leaves two frames to react? "Git Gud".

I'm so tired, y'all. I can't take this shit anymore I HAVE to rant or else I'm gonna esplode I swear to god.
You CANNOT possibly voice any kind of criticism towards a game without a tsunami of this planet's most abysmally stupid motherfuckers going "Eerermmm, ur just bad ☝️🤓"

Reaching peak performance by achieving both 🐉💖
