Pulling out the next gen references. It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose. I discovered the channel a couple weeks ago and just been watching the backlogs. Thx for the vids.
I think 'not caring' is a poor way to phrase it but the sentiment is valid. In creative and competitive endeavors I think it's best to always be focused on the process of improvement, rather than becoming overly attached to outcomes which we often have very limited direct control over (if any). So care a lot about the decisions you're making and the skills you're working on that will allow you to have more positive outcomes in the future and limit your exposure to negative outcomes, but don't judge your success by win/loss and get tilted which inevitably leads to diminished performance. Regardless of win or lose, what did you do well, what did you do poorly, how can you improve? Sometimes undeserved wins can teach us bad habits that lead to future losses so it's just as important to be critical of our wins.
I probably agree with your sentiment, but how do you encapsulate that in a few words? Reminding my self to "not care" is a quick way to try and capture that mind set. Winning has always been the goal for these FTL cycle streaks, and if I'm trying to change my mindset into something else, I need something to be a reminder when I'm starting to tilt or fight frustration.
@@rand118 My personal phrase has always been 'focus on the process, not the results' - consistent positive outcomes over a long period of time in an environment of uncertainty (like the RNG presented by FTL) are a by-product of improving our skills and mindset. Sometimes failures are inevitable so it's best to learn what we can and simply move on. I produce/compose music and I have to remind myself of this every time I churn out a real turd, because if I let myself get discouraged I won't start working on my next piece that could very well be the best I've ever done. The more I just stick through to the end and focus on the process without worrying about the results and becoming paralyzed by indecision or negative emotions the more chances I'll have for success, and the easier it is to be successful in the future.
@@Lophii_666 I like the phrase "focus on the process, not the results." Maybe I can try to incorporate that instead of "don't care." I'll be honest, with how frustrating FTL can be, I'm not sure I can always calm myself down with "focus on the process," but every tool I can use to keep my focus and mindset positive is worthwhile. Thanks for the suggestions!
@@rand118 Coping with the uncertainty of FTL is a microcosm for struggling with the random challenges of life in general, which I think is part of what draws people to keep watching your FTL streams. Your emotional responses when dealing with the game are very relatable but I think it's less about schadenfreude for most viewers, and more about getting inspired and cheering for you when you're able to overcome the challenges of a seemingly hopeless situation and still pull out a win when literally everything is on fire!
As much as I have enjoyed watching your videos for the past several months, I really relate to the feeling of needing to let something go because you don't like the person you are when you do it. I hope you find a solution to this situation. As always, wishing you well. (the run was crazy btw cannot believe you got through that cursed early game)
what this run taught me is if no one is there for you, artillery's got you
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
I think we're at suffering.
Best phase 2 I've seen in a while. 6 crew kills including 2 side room at the end

I feel you on the competitive aspect.
When I realize that I'm caring to much again I kill the streak then and there.
Future me always like that. 😅
you play well
sometimes you can do everything right and you can still lose
True...and that can be very frustrating and challenging to play through.
most runs, artillery is useless. but when you find no weapons... it can save the run
1:27:18 Artillery Jesus take the wheel.
