    Funny enough there’s a whole section of social psychology dedicated to this type of causal attribution. See also: “it was lag!!”

    Long story short: personal, stable factors we like it it’s a success, dislike in failure; situational, unstable factors we like it it’s a failure, dislike in success. Self-serving and group serving biases, basically.

      Fun fact, lagging is a known way of cheating where a player creates artificial lag for periods of time to mess everything up.
