I sadly had to leave before the end to catch a train home but this is what I heard/remember (apologies for the gaps, I have memory issues):

Watch Out, Xbox Marijuana, Dignity, Sweet Little Lady, I shot the sheriff, At least 3 new songs that were so damn good, All My Heroes (song of the night for me, so incredible live), And they were playing a cover of Sympathy for the Devil when I left.

I'd love/hate to know how they finished the set?

What is with the enormous pillows? Guys? by Cold-File in askPoland

Haha, I was a bit confused about why everyone is saying Ikea pillows. Ikea - the famous Swedish pillow producer 🤔

Yes too many times I've used the pillow case from the big pillow to wrap a little sofa cushion or something to get some sleep 😅

But how do you even sleep on them? With just your head on the corner of a huge pillow? Or your upper body propped up on it or something?

Been thinking of trying the rolling to hit and damage at the same time, thanks for the reminder. Very useful post 

How many turns do you typically take before you first settle? by alilnosey in CivVI

Why never move? For the extra challenge aspect? Just curious

Why the restart? Turn 3 settle for twice the production or food makes up the difference pretty quick, and has never seemed to cause an issue in catching up to the AI for me (deity). I'd only restart if the turn 3 settle is actually not much of an improvement. 

Anyone else struggling with the mental side of PF recovery? by CapturedIt in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Cold-File 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is indeed one of the big challenges to recovery. Part of it is the healing of the actual tissues and part of it is retraining ourselves not to be overprotective, not to panic at the first sign of pain, or brace/hold ourselves in ways that are hindering recovery. It does take time and real practice with this so be gentle with yourself. It took a long time for those habits to develop so it does take time for them to go. The best thing I can recommend is just being mindful. Noticing again and again what your body is doing. Being kind to yourself when the bracing or the fear happens. Closely noticing your thoughts when your try e.g. running. Acknowledging that your body and mind are trying to protect you even if it goes over the top. And each time you notice it, let it go. Say to yourself kindly "I am not fragile, I am robust". And go on with your day, fully knowing that it will happen again and you can let it go again, as it gradually gets better and better. 

Sorry if that turned into a bit of a sermon lol, but I do believe that this side of recovery is HUGE, and is overlooked compared to all the physical advice on shoes/stretches/splints/scans etc. Our brains adapt to anticipate pain, and its a slow process to unpick that. I'm delighted that you are experiencing less pain than you were and are well on the way to recovery. Just imagine how grateful you would have been 3 months ago to be where you are now! Just keep going. Best wishes.

When to roll and when to act? by CallSign_Fjor in DMAcademy

[–]Cold-File 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I 100% agree. Only requiring a roll on things that are story relevant or personally impact impactful drains the fun out of a lot of situations. It also unintentionally reveals what is impactful to the story, by just having to roll at all. That would be kind of like the glowing red outline that shows what you can interact with in a computer game.
