But we see it in the game review and I know it’s a brilliant cause it’s Damiano Gambit

This is true. It's kind of weird how much the feeling differs whether you did it on purpose or not.

My first brilliant was kinda intended. Initially I forked the king and queen with a rook (protected by a pawn), but then I noticed a sniper bishop a little too late and thought I was screwed until I realized I'd unintentionally diverted said bishop from a square preventing a different fork, winning my opponent's queen after all.

My second brilliant (another rook sac, grabbing two minor pieces and a pawn + exposing a clear and deadly attack on my opponent, who neglected to castle) was actually done on purpose, and it was certainly a much different feeling. The adrenaline rush when you play a sacrifice on purpose and know that if you mess it up somehow, you're cooked...it really is something else.

The fact that my opponent took the rook immediately made it even better. He had no idea what was coming lol

Accidental brillants where you forget a piece is hanging are my favorite brilliants. My opponent thinks I'm a genius when in reality I'm just really forgetful lol.
