How to not drop the demon you’re grinding (and not lose motivation)
(pls reblog so more people see this)
ok so I’ve been seeing this same process happen to literally all of the people I know
someone finds a demon they want to beat
they start grinding the demon
they have a bad experience with the demon
they drop the demon
repeat 20x
sooo
Here’s some stuff that helps me beat demons without dropping them
(please note that I have adhd so you might not relate to some of the stuff I describe)
Chapter 1. Physical stuff
1. Take short breaks
I know this might sound counterintuitive (I mean, if you play the level less you wont beat it as quickly, right??)
but, think about what usually happens if you play a level for too long
you play the level > get mad > you keep playing level > get more mad > you play worse because you’re mad > repeat until you drop the level due hating the level’s guts
and if you’re playing worse because you’re mad, you’re going to take longer with the level, and I’m assuming you don’t want that
I would suggest that as soon as you realize you’re playing worse due to anger, you should take a break until you aren’t angry and then continue grinding.
(and if you are still playing badly, that probably means you should probably stop playing for the day because you’re burning out)
2. Only grind levels you know you can beat
now, this may seem obvious, but I have seen almost all of my friends make this mistake
and that mistake is… *drumroll*
Trying to beat levels that aren’t their skillset and are too hard for them
I have seen SO MANY people think that they could jump to a top 10 from something cataclysm difficulty, hell, even I thought I could do it! But take it from someone who tried to jump to Sakupen Circles from cataclysm, jumping. sucks.
Why does jumping suck you ask?
it doesn’t have quick progress
now I know that sounds weird, but lets be real, you’re probably not gonna like a level if you’re only making progress once every 2 weeks
it’s missing that dopamine rush you get from making progress, and honestly, that completely throws me off tbh
3. LIST PLACEMENTS DO. NOT. MATTER.
I see so many people think that lower on the list = easier extreme = they can beat it
let me tell you this
List placements are based on the average opinion, and I am assuming your skillset isn’t perfectly average
if your skill set is wave and you’re bad at cube timings then you will think that sonic wave is easier than black blizzard, despite blbl being ~30 spots below sw, and vice versa
4. there are extremes other than list demons
not much more needs to be said about this
instead of looking at pointercrate to find extremes, just look through gd/youtube and play ones you find interesting, you’ll have a better chance at finding an extreme that you like if you do that
Chapter 2. Mental stuff
1. Don’t set your expectations too high
This.
I have seen almost all of my friends fall victim to this problem.
When you set your expectations too high, you wont be able to reach them, and if you don’t achieve your goals, it might lead to anger/sadness, and you might end up losing motivation with gd.
also, uhh, this too
1 ½ . Don’t set your expectations too low
If your expectations are too low, you will meet them too fast, and if you keep meeting them too fast, you will get used to achieving goals quickly, and then when you meet your first road block, and you don’t get it quickly like you’re used to, you will lose your temper wayy quicker than normal.
2. You wont become a pro overnight, don’t hope that you will
I know, I know, this is the most overused saying like.. ever, but its true!
you’re not going to become a pro instantly like spaceuk (unless you have savant syndrome or something), skill takes time to build!
and if you hope that you will just magically become a top player then you are just going to be disappointed
practice is the key (I cant believe I just unironically said that *pukes*)
3. it’s ok to take a break
Please, never push yourself too far.
I have seen so many people try to keep grinding and grinding levels despite them being obviously burnt out. Hell, even I have done this on multiple occasions.
Yes, you are determined, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take a break every once in a while
remember, this isn’t a competition, you can stop whenever you like.
Extra stuff
Keep calm during grinds
brute force determination is what will get you through the level
only beat levels you want to beat
play on whatever fps you want, ignore what people say
don’t play gd for too long
ok bye cya later
I would also like to add that you are allowed to play other levels while trying to beat a new hardest.
If your feeling burnt out, try playing another quick level like an easy or medium demon. Or start trying to grind another hard level you want to beat in the future.
You don’t have to hyperfocus on one single thing in the game. Especially when it fatigues you.
