adapt a stoic mindset, there is no point in worrying about what you can't control or influence

maybe you should apply that mind set and work on getting good, instead of using it to cope

we all have our limitations, i work my hardest to be good but i still notice that it takes me longer than others to achieve the same results.
it's fine i aknowledge and i'm okay with it, i only care about what i can control, no point in worrying about things outside of my grasp

>I'm not going to work on it because it would take longer for me to do than others, so I'm not going to bother at all and instead be contempt about me being incompetent, I'm not going to fix my flaws
I don't think that's stoicism, that's called being lazy

are you unable to read? i literally told you that i work hard, and i finish the games, it's just that i know that i have a harder time than others.

you either can't read or are trying to hard to bait me.

It's a video game. Who cares if you're bad at it?
I mean if it's a sign of some other deeper issues like basic motor skill dysfunction or maybe mental issues like lack of memory, pattern recognition, or just plain retardation then I suppose you should worry....but if none of that applies who gives a shit?
I mean you didn't tell the whole world you're the best at a game only to have never played it did you?

it's not working hard if it isn't showing results, anyone can say "I'm trying hard" without breaking a sweat
every lazy bastard I know spews that word as if they can make that excuse as an adult, and actual hard workers I know puts their heads down and work on it, without complaining, making excuses, or coping that they lack an ability to work
stoicism is not an excuse to be lazy you know

if your bad at a game, why even play? Hah, I rememberr, back when I think I was a little child, play Castlevania Dawn of Sorrows on DS, Heh, finish the game in under 9 hours, perhaps you won't be the best that time? If your easy mode then nothing is possible for you're gaming.

hard-work is an indication that you like to struggle, not succeed, i.e. mental sluggishness, acedia or even laziness.

you wouldn't need to feel like you're bashing your head playing video games if you really are a stoic like you claim to be
work on your anger management

then only do it with games you've already beat, or in genres where it is expected (basically every PVP game)

I watched people try their damndest to do the simplest things, and blame the universe when you point out how lazy it is to do things the hard way. Like, why not just bring the Acid Rounds for a Hunter fight, or use the Rifle against Pyramid Head?

It will be easy for you too once you get good enough to beat it. People tend rate difficulty depending on their current skill level, not on how much it actually took them to get there or with regard to the average player.

you could try playing real shmups though

I graduated easy modo by attempting a run at least every day, making mental note on where I improved, and where I need to improve, and repeating that for a month, whilst playing other games

What's your reason for playing?
Do you want to have fun or become MLG PRO E-SPORT TOP STAR?
Also a lot of shit people say online is pure bullshit.
>after spending days, trying for 300 times RNG finally ended up in my favor
>OMG TOTALLY EASY, ONLY SCRUBS HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS SHIT
This is more prevalent than you think.
And then there's shitters like 'On YouTube I saw a nolifer jap do this nearly impossible thing so that means I could do that easily too, you're shit at the game if you can't'.
You can ignore retards like that completely, also anyone who posts others' achievements when called up on his 'PRO GAMER' claims.

If it's a single player game no one cares about what difficulty you played on, but people will rightfully ignore you if you try to join in on conversations about the game's difficulty while only playing on easy mode. If it's a multiplayer game, you're most likely to be lobbied with people around your skill level anyway.

Kek. I struggle with game in different ways. The combat/racing/those kinds of parts I'm fine at and enjoy.

Where I fall flat on my face is keeping track of multiple things at once, like having to craft this, to craft that, to then finally craft the other without forgetting that I was supposed to beat x with certain characters traits so that he'd drop a specific ingredient......
Or when there are markers for twenty different things at once. I always end up missing some.
Like pic related. I've been playing ZZZ for two months and while I enjoy the fighting, I still haven't figured out how to do whatever the shit in the circle is telling me to do kek

just memorize the patterns. That's it, start with 8cc, each time you successfully beat a run, reduce the credits, once you get to 1cc, you should be able to clear the difficulty.

For realsies I can't really help you since I'd have to take a look at it myself. Click on the button, navigate to main menu, search for whatever has the identical red logo around it. Could be mail, achievements, store, events on the right, activity log (maybe temple screaming at you that you're not crafting/selling something actively) etc. If you need help finding the root of the issue, then just post a screenshot of the menu. Could even be the trials for the agents on the ongoing banners
