I don't say good game if it wasn't a good game. Fake politeness.

- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

-Me, with a KD of 3/13
I haven’t competed since the last time a high school phys. ed. teacher made me, and I never really cared if I won or lost. I guess I’m on a no salt diet.

Every time I lose in online 1v1 games. I have Rejection sensitivity dysphoria and it's probably what's making me extremely salty on loss. I literally cannon bring myself to say 'gg' in most cases but I I'm mostly angry at myself. I avoid saying 'gg' only when I win either as I feel like like a hypocrite.
Funnily enough, this doesn't affect me in boardgames
Not saying 'good game' when the game wasnt good is weird? I say it if I actually enjoyed the game. Win or lose.
It's been used as a gracious closer, kinda like a handshake in chess matches, for decades now.
For me its just if someone (including myself) demonstrated spur-of-the-moment genius or creativity
Why not say wp! then
