Okay, now I get it - had already forgotten what your OP was even about at this point :D
Honestly, you can brag about it - nothing wrong with that. It's definitely something to feel proud about, I'd say. As long as you're not being a dick about it, which you very much aren't. Awesome that you feel so at home with this one.
That's awesome too. That's why I'm such a huge advocate for difficulty settings too. If for whatever reason the default difficulty doesn't work for a player, they can lower it and find enjoyment out of the game without being artificially gated from the experience because of some arbitrary difficulty.
