The Lord of the Rings might be my favorite books of all since it was the first "big" books i actually read by myself.

I had heard The Hobbit on the radio and pestered my father to read LotR to me but it took way too long, so I found the books in his bookshelf and read ahead.

I also promptly made myself cry when I found out Boromir died so it might have traumatised me a bit too, but once i read the books I started borrowing the audio books from the library to bring on vacations every year. It was a absolutely massive book of tapes for my walkman😆

I was going to say that my favorite thing is how they made the games on so little space with recycled code.

But the question brought back a memory of going through the Rock Tunnel in Pokemon Red. Since i was like 10 at the time I didn't actually know english yet and ended up navigating the tunnels blind and through pure luck and starting over several times I managed to get to the other side with out lighting up the tunnel.

IN our very first session my rogue stole a bag of curry.

Then 3 years of games every two weeks goes by and I just know I'll get somthing good out of this random culinary addition. Then the GM strands us in a city where everything is dull, including the food. BAM! Bag of curry! Instant friendships!

In the city of no spices the one with a bag of curry is king.
