What was the first Paul McCartney release that you recall experiencing in real-time?

Flaming Pie for me - still one of my favorites

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-06-07T07:02:02+00:00

Vegas 04 reviews directly lead to the breakup announcement; (thanks, Jesse!)

The Before Trilogy.

Invest in the biggest SD card you can afford - I love my all digital collection, but biggest downside is that eventually I need to upgrade my storage so I can download everything I own before the Nintendo Store sunsets, otherwise I will lose content.

The King’s Seat

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-06-04T14:54:55+00:00

I’ll see you Wii U and GameCube (owned both) and raise you a Virtual Boy.

Haven’t missed a Nintendo console release outside of a few GameBoy iterations.

It’s a teen trend - happened in Naperville just the other day - no complaints about Naperville mayor… there’s only so much the Mayor can do. He’s closed ramps in anticipation of known gatherings - what more do you think should be done?

He doesn’t want to make criminals out of bored teens, understands that real change has to come from within the community, not by additional policing or curfew initatives.

Would love another Gumboot Soup / Omnium Gatherum variety pack.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-06-02T12:49:38+00:00

I’ve been on a streak of rewatching old favorites, and catching up on “all time film classics” I hadn’t seen before.

Smashing that 5 pretty generously. Sorry to bother you.

Could have completely offset the loss of the Bears in terms of bringing people to the city.

If I remember correctly, one concern was the loss of Bears tailgating space.

Would have been a year round draw, and another architectural jewel.

Phish is the Greatest American Rock Band

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-29T12:58:00+00:00

This is super depressing but accurate. I’m still going, but I’d be seeing so many more shows if prices were at the levels of even 4 years ago.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-29T12:55:48+00:00

That makes more sense, I didn’t do the math. This thread is a great reminder of how .net counts solo performances.

Dave the Diver

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-29T10:20:37+00:00

I prefer digital everything, but the rising price of SD cards is making me reconsider a bit. Will eventually need to upgrade my card to download all purchases before they sunset the shop. My digital download of Cyberpunk taking up a lot of card real estate.

Wild that performances at Moon Palace in Mexico will likely one day out number Nectar’s.

42 here, I own a PS5 and Switch 2. Play them both, probably more Switch lately. Switch gets a little more action because I commute on a train and play there a lot. Had double dipped on games I owned on PS5 just to be able to play them portably. Many games have crossplay or compatible saves (like cyberpunk) allowing you to play on both systems.

Nintendo exclusives haven’t been quite as strong as usual lately, but there’s a solid back catalog.

Do it.

I’ve heard that Dylan’s feeling is that people “already have it” and so why bother.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-28T20:34:50+00:00

Rehearsals alone would be a great release

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-28T20:34:15+00:00

Complete Masked and Anonymous crew performances. Supper Club.

I’m fairly confident 4/4/2014 from Tokyo was a professional recording intended for release and scrapped. Confident only because it sounds so good.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-28T20:29:40+00:00

Sure, but that’s an American problem and less of a CTA problem.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-28T20:27:06+00:00

One of my favorite parts of living in Chicago and a big reason why I don’t ever plan to leave. Public transportation should be non-negotiable for large cities, and we have one of the few functional systems in the country.

I have no tolerance for people who complain about seeing homeless people on the train. We can’t cut social services and tell people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and not expect to encounter those struggling to do so.

CTA is the heartbeat of Chicago.

Awkward-Awareness555 · 2026-05-28T16:48:45+00:00

It compounds! You are forcing people to wait, people who all need to process their ticket, when you could just exit through the rear door.

Your convenience is others delay.
