Just realised I’d done the last few areas of Elden Ring using not my beloved Uchigatana +18, but in fact an Uchigatana that hadn’t been upgraded at all. Actually lowkey kind of proud of myself

Just had one player a single dice roll away from permadeath in our years-long D&D campaign. Heart still racing
