I used to play #rpgs when I was young, late 70s early 80s, but we would also play the occasional #BoardGame. #Talisman was a favourite, #MagicRealm, #CosmicEncounters and others saw some play as well. A few years ago I played #Dungeoneer with a friend, but I've now discovered that there are lots of games that you can play solo, something that will likely suit me. This was incredibly rare back then! I just ordered #ArkhamHorror the card game and #KinfireDelve for some solo fun. #Gaming #boardgames

[@alternativenation](https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation) Do you remember the first album you bought with your own money? For me it was Even in the Quietest Moment by [#Supertramp](https://mstdn.social/tags/Supertramp) I had asked my older sister for advice, and while we didn't really have the same taste in music I wasn't disappointed. Edit: Uhm, not sure Supertramp counts as alternative though...

    @ren Absolutely. Portishead was the only Triphop band I listened to until relatively recently, but they have led me on to #MazzyStar and #MassiveAttack.
    What I usually listened to was classics like #BobDylan, #SimonAndGarfunkel, #TheBand etc. Also lots and lots of #REM and #ToriAmos (who made me discover #KateBush)

    But hey, I love #JohannSebastianBach and #Allegri too. 😁

  • [@alternativenation](https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation) a friend of mine introduced me to [#Portishead](https://mstdn.social/tags/Portishead) when they were still active, and it was very different to music either of us usually listened to at that time. I still really like them. [https://youtu.be/8T0cRt8efsQ](https://youtu.be/8T0cRt8efsQ) I still associate the song Wandering Star with the science fiction show Babylon 5 😄 My mind just made a connection there somehow and now I'm stuck with it.

    I work in a used books shop and read mostly Science fiction and fantasy, but not exclusively.
    I game a bit, but wouldn't call myself a gamer.

    Interested, but not very knowledgeable about Walkability, 15 min city, rewilding.

    I have some issues with physical pain as well as social anxiety.
