The first Roman fort on the site of the castle was likely built around 55AD.

There’s an excellent greentext with that as the punchline.

Record collector here too. I can tell you exactly when I started, and it was when I saw a copy of Beggar’s Banquet by the Rolling Stones for 50p in a charity shop. Didn’t even have a record player at the time. Now I’ve got 471 records and counting and spend far too much money on the hobby.

I’m a big music snob, and I’m in my forties, but Decompression Period by Papa Roach hit me really hard the first time I heard it, and it’s always one I go back to. I’ve never had a bad breakup or anything, but it really captures the feeling for me.

3. The Rest is History (guess)

A fellow old person! I’ll add Ocean Software and US Gold from the Commodore era.

My wife’s best friend was called Harriet Potter. I thought nothing of it until we were visiting New York in 2009 and the guy in the Warner Bros shop made a huge deal of it.

If you’re on Twitter, the account @foreigncovers posts covers in other languages.

Check out Since I’ve Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin. The kick drum pedal squeaks all the way through, and they left it in.

I bought a vinyl copy of Beggars’ Banquet by the Rolling Stones for 50p despite not having a record player. Fast forward six years and I now have a full stereo system, a collection worth over £10k and regularly order limited edition albums from small bands costing me large amounts each time. Send help.

That’s crazy. A friend of a friend runs a Plex server, and I’ve seen how much is on there. If he offered me access I’d be all over it.

anti name anti-theft-device on old bad site. anti join Lemmy, small user base, anti name available, boom.

Ah, so you’re a linguine man.

I bought digital, sadly.

I bought it because my mate told me it was more like Diablo 2 than 3. I played it for 4 days and haven’t touched it since. £55 down the drain.

Is this Pizza Tower? My son’s obsessed with it.

There’s a road near my house that has over ten barber shops on it. The road is about half a mile long. I’m not sure of the percentage, but they can’t all be legit.

The T-Mobile G1 was my favourite phone ever.

Streets of Rage 2. Honourable mention to FFVII and FFVIII.

Pleasure for me comes from achievement. The time I first ran 5k in under 30 minutes, or the first time I deadlifted more than my own bodyweight. Achieving these things gives you that nice feeling. Yeah, there are people who can run faster or lift heavier, but I try and concentrate on my progress - doesn’t always work but I know deep down I’m getting better at the things I choose to do.
