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

I don’t say good game if it wasn’t a good game. Fake politeness.
It’s even worse when some rage filled manchild posts rage in the chat and then adds the obligatory “gg.”

Not saying ‘good game’ when the game wasnt good is weird? I say it if I actually enjoyed the game. Win or lose.
For me its just if someone (including myself) demonstrated spur-of-the-moment genius or creativity
Why not say wp! then
It’s been used as a gracious closer, kinda like a handshake in chess matches, for decades now.
