What is the pun in NERO omg
Emperor Nero is rumored to have cause the great fire of Rome in 64 AD that burned over 2/3rds of the city
and legend had it as he watched Rome burn, he played the fiddle
*lyre
Pans on fire.
Did he cause the fire, or did a fire happen while he was the leader and he completely ignored it?
Yes
Nero, the Roman emperor, burned Rome.
You made me say oh my god out loud and facepalm pretty harddd…
ok I never thought I would need this info about CD burning but this is genuinely a cool revelation about my childhood
Go look up the loading screen for Nero. It was a burning colosseum. Such a cool branding job.
