Go-On-A-Steam-Train

I didn’t realise U2 once did make great music! Can recommend 1001 albums generator - it’s righting a few musical wrongs in my brain :)

You convinced me, I’m totally adding this today! :)

I also would throw in sponsorblock to that too - it skips all the “but first, Raid Shadow Legends…” “don’t forget to like share and subscribe” nonsense :)

Oh nice!! Thank you so much!

That’s quite close by, and a visit is in order! :)

That’s impressive! :) You wouldn’t happen to know anything about the Milton Keynes one would you? I’ve been searching and couldn’t find any links, but would love to go and visit it! :)

You may ask yourself

“How do I flush this?”

You may say to yourself

“My god, what have I done?!”

Thank you for reminding me of this!

It’s wasn’t that long ago that I was in a little lamborghini, and sleeping on bookshelves.

I miss the number of users meaning there was always some kind soul also interested in my niche interest, be it coding, obscure band I just found… that was neat. :)

I don’t miss the number of users meaning lame memes and boring gibberish clogging the pipes, not to mention the argument people on the big subs. :/

My mind immediately went to the band Phish… I was all excited to find a new corner of the internet about them! :) Never mind :)

Thank you for that… going back and reading again with this was very, very funny

In this case it makes sense to have a short-term quick-and-dirty Butt deployment.

This add-on brings me joy and is related. :)

Hull, England for me! I went up as a student and stayed another year, partly because I loved the city and wasn’t ready to go home.

There was a great vibe, music venues, free museums and galleries, felt safe, and loved wandering.

I saw the rougher bits too, but it didn’t seem to different to most places. On the whole, the centre was way nicer than I expected, and there was a lot of cool community things people were running.

Sides should ideally be eaten before the main - unless it annoys whoever I am eating with

Ugh that reminded me of getting “stuck” in Phoenix Wright 15 years ago because I didn’t have a microphone for my PC! What a disaster! That said, they did a steam remake, so that made me happy :)

What? Oh no… I just found them :( time to Google and then un-love them

Edit oh for pity’s sake… That’s awful, why do people do things like that. Damn, I guess I’ll just go ahead and trade in the CD I bought.

In a strange way, thank you for helping me find out sooner than later. :)

Not too bad,

I didn’t choose the chug life, the chug life choo-choo chose me!

(And it’s got a picture of a train!)

That’s awesome! Thank you for the rundown, I’ll save this comment for the day that I get to making the jump :) It might be a while until I can, but it would be nice to jump back over to the comfortable Linux environment again :)

Ableton working in Wine you say…? Thank you for sharing, as that would be excellent to try! :)

Agreed, not just plugins its also Ableton Live for me! There is nothing that scratches that for me, bitwig does look promising eventually though. :)

Then on top of that wanting to develop games without learning another game engine (I’m far into a game, and can’t change engine without starting again)

And I wanna play Baldurs Gate 3 again dammit! (To be fair I think that might work and haven’t looked) :) .

I used Linux for 5 years and loved it, have a pi and a degoogled Foss phone as much as possible. I am an ally to it all, but have usecases which dictate Windows … I think it’s not unreasonable to want something to get better without binning 70℅ of why I use my computer. :)

Edit: I just learned this thread, wine might work with Ableton, this is great news :)

That’s a very fair opinion too! I feel they changed about 4 times as a band (understandably I guess as they were about for 3 decades), and damn Life’s Rich Pageant was special - it’s one I play very often, and it is stacked! :)

It’s the best they sounded as a pure rock band, even though I have such a soft spot for Murmur. New Adventures touched on that feeling again, but it wasn’t front to back perfect in the same way (partly because of its length!)

The trouble I have is I couldn’t imagine life without what came after Life’s Rich Pageant, for instance Automatic meant a great deal to me, as it was the first album I remember hearing and loving growing up. :)

As massive R.E.M. fan, this made me conflicted! Automatic for the People is beautiful, and most days my favourite, but I wouldn’t want to miss where the band went after.

Their last album was brilliant, Accelerate was fun… I know AftP was a hell of a peak, but I can’t find it in me to write off anything except a chunk of Around the Sun…

Thank you for allowing me to talk about my favourite band. :)
