Ninja: [quote]The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.
There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.[/quote][url=https://twitter.com/Ninja/status/1229888740698599424]Source[/url]
The comments are funnier.

why do you know what he tweets

It's the dude's livelihood, so despite how cringey I find the streaming community to be, it's an understandable mindset for him. I'd say the same for a professional athlete. For you or me, on the other hand, losing a video game or sports game shouldn't be anything to get mad over.

I agree with that. It also depend on how far you take it. You can take a game seriously and get upset if a part of that game is failing, but don't let it control you. Don't let that be a copout for no standards. But if it controls you, you lost and should put it down for a while.

Ninja tryna be the Kobe Bryant of video games lmao

Not a lot. The guy understands that total apathy over something you're passionate about is unnatural. What's the deal?
-
Sounds like a good copy pasta
-
I can understand his reasoning with the encouragement of growth, but competitive games are much harder to play if you get tilted. If you get cheesed/rushed and get mad about it, you’re liable to play worse under pressure later in the game.
-
I do not neccesarily disagree with that statement. Lots of people get pissed or at least disapointed when they lose, or their favorite sportsclub loses, gaming is no different.
-
At first I thought you were talking about a ninja on here. Any way I'd have to disagree. "it's just a game" is a strong mindset, treat it as you should other hiccups in life by looking for a way to improve yourself. Don't sit there getting angry at yourself and/or others for the loss.

You need to learn how to loose before you learn how to win.

Edited by Sunslinger: 2/20/2020 10:15:32 AMNot gonna lie I thought you meant a Ninja as in a Ninja from b.net lmao. Those comments in response are -blam!-ing hilarious

Who is Ninja and why should I care?
-
He is so far up his own ass I swear
-
What’s more loser-ish? Playing a game for fun and getting over a loss? Or spending all day sweating your balls off in a game meant for middle schoolers?
-
You can't even call him out on anything either because people will just accuse you of jealousy. Fair enough he has a ton money but that doesn't make him tolerable.
-
He’s basically the Jaden Smith for gaming.
-
I read this, thinking that you were talking about ninjas, not ninja
-
Not everyone can be a winner and the mentality of "everyone wins" that gets thrown around nowadays needs to stop
-
Instead of vanilla ice’s go ninja go ninja go now all I can think of is screw ninja screw ninja screw
-
I mean, if someone kills him he automatically assumes he’s being stream sniped and then he’ll report the person who killed him. It’s easy to say that when you have such a massive ego you believe you can’t be killed unless they’re cheating.

Edited by H1vac: 2/19/2020 5:47:24 PMNo Anger =/= No Improvement. But anger can show a greater attachment to the game.

I messed up a game of dbd and the trio of players tried to bait me into feeling bad. Like you don’t get to talk shit when I survive 100% longer than you and your whole SWF team goes down within 30 seconds XDDD

The “phrase it’s just a game” is used on people who play like if the game is on their shoulders. [b][i][u]AKA: toxic/salty/bad-side-of-the-fandom [/u][/i][/b] That phrase doesn’t apply to STREAMERS because it’s not a game to them. You tell them calm down, not is just a game.
