Git Gud, a deliberate misspelling of 'get good,' is a staple of gaming culture, particularly within the Dark Souls and FromSoftware communities. It first gained traction on 4chan and various gaming forums as a snarky, elitist response to players complaining about a game's difficulty. Rather than offering constructive advice, the phrase implies that the only solution to a challenge is for the player to improve their own skills through persistence. Over time, it has evolved from a genuine insult into a self-deprecating joke and a badge of honor for players who finally overcome brutal challenges. Today, it is used across all competitive genres to mock frustration or celebrate the steep learning curve of high-stakes gameplay.
