I love it when people get salty at me when I do well. I take it as a huge compliment.

  Well if you cheat you get to enjoy that feeling even when you wouldn't do well. I honestly expect many of the people who go "nah I'm just that good" even in this thread are actually cheating. That smirk wouldn't feel any less good if you were cheating, in fact it'd be one more thing to smirk about.

    On the contrary, I would get no pleasure from the salt if I were cheating. The pleasure entirely comes from feeling good at the game, so good that people feel the need to complain about it.

    > I honestly expect many of the people who go "nah I'm just that good" even in this thread are actually cheating. This, players that are actually good don't feel the need to brag about it on hacker news.

      I don't know why you think being good at video games makes you a better grounded person. Lots of people good at games also have big egos.
