You probably have seen a few of the 'You cheated the not only the game, but yourself' memes by now. Whether you're confused by them, curious, or even if you just don't give a crap, here's how it started. An editor for PC Gamer wrote an article about how he beat Sekiro's final boss with cheats, and he feels fine about it. When he posted that article to Twitter, a user named @Fetsuberry posted a reply with the quote that started a whole slew of memes.
You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You've cheated not only the game, but yourself! A fan makes an optional easy mode mod for Cuphead, and r/games is divided on the subject. 'How do you experience the gameplay with this easy mode? You won't understand why it's good if you can literally just breeze through the game with no challenge.'
Here are the original Tweet and response.

You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad that you don't know the difference. https://t.co/upkhLSNQNO
