TIFU by getting caught by my neighbors pretending to be a video game character

r/

I was walking back to my parents house through a wooded area on a beautiful day, to walk off this weird post-drinking dissociation I can feel on days after drinking. Perhaps that’s a contributor to what happened next. I was in a neighbor’s backyard and I realized I needed a stick to clear any spider webs, so grabbed a long, curved one. When I did I realized it kinda seemed like a Katana (curved Japanese samurai swords), I started thinking about a character I tried yesterday called Acheron from Honkai: Star Rail who looks really sick using her katana.

This character:

I was dramatically “sheathing” and unsheathing it and doing “cool” sword moves to clear webs. Then I heard chatter and looked up at the neighbors back deck and saw 4 of them just starting at me. One just gave me a tiny awkward wave and I did the same. I just hope they couldn’t hear the sound effects I was making

I’m a grown-ass 37 year old man(child)….

TL;DR pretending to use a stick as a katana and neighbors were watching the whole time

    OP: ‘I weep for the departed’ bass drop

    Neighbors: ‘O-okay?’

    Come on, that isn’t so bad. At least you didn’t make wooosh wooosh noises.

    You should have been making lightsaber noises

    “I weep for the departed…” obliterates an entire generation of spiders.

    Gacha games should barely even be called games in the first place

    No man grows out of pretending to cut down imaginary foes.
