I think I stopped when they just found Alexandria. Honestly the intro theme is what kept me coming back when it was getting really slow, like The Governor's arc.

What can I do daily to improve my on-the-spot cognitive abilities?
Hey all I just came across an emergency situation irl that I felt useless in because of how slowly I was thinking. Basically it was someone getting an epileptic seizure and I had the info in my head for what to do but I did end up freezing a bit before I did anything. Really didn't like it. The person is fine now but if I had reacted faster, we might have been able to prevent a couple problems.
I've been in other emergencies before where I had to call the shots but I guess I want to think faster and keep it consistent at a higher level, and I want to improve on it for future scenarios, but what can I do to do that?
Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's replies, I'll be looking into a routine to acclimate myself with these kinds of situations

I rage-clicked, rage-chuckled, and rage-upvoted. God dammit

I heard from some incredibly unreliable source that people do this because they don't get told that they're doing a good job enough. For what it's worth you're all doing great

Well now I'm going to expect something surprising

"By the way, I'm not too sure if this deal will last until after your afternoon nappies, so you should probably think about when you're gonna pick this up! I mean, what a waste it would be, right? Remember Mr. Sprinklemuffins?"

No, rated arr

Hahaha well then what better experience can you have with an ebb and flow like that? That's beyond living it up, and more like riding the storm 😆

Ten seconds? I think Mother Nature can understand if you wanna live it up a little bit more you know?

I've never had a hangover ever in my life, but could that be from my genes? My mom could really hold her alcohol well even though she didn't drink a lot.

Of all the answers I've gotten I think yours was the one that made it the most clear to me with its specificity. Thanks for helping me understand *a lot *more than I expected

Alright so I'm getting that letting the steam out unburdens you with the emotions you feel from the problem. Another reply said people feel understood when their pain is known, would you say it's the same feeling here or does it branch off a little bit?
Sorry I don't really talk or vent a lot in real life so it's something I'm still trying to understand

Okay this makes sense. I didn't realize that people feel tend to feel better when their pain is understood. Maybe I should give it a try sometime. Thanks for opening up my brain!

See, I get that this is a thing, but I don't understand why you just want someone to listen. What does sitting here, looking you in the eye and opening my ears, specifically do to make you feel better about the problem you're having?

You are fucking killing me in this thread

I used to really love R. Kelly's Bump N' Grind, until... Well, I think everyone knows at this point

I'll probably keep two at most, though I'm pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg

Is this moka pot fixable?


Found this moka pot at a friend's relative's house, they said it's been in their family for a bit over a decade. It just broke about a week ago, but it seems like it means a lot to them. Unfortunately they're a little too old to check out how to get it fixed, so I'm thinking of doing it for them in the near future just as a gesture.
Question is, is it possible? If so, what needs to be done/replaced?





Your best friend is leaving the country for a better life. You make a playlist to show how you feel. What songs are in that playlist?
Hey Lemmy. In my friend group we have someone that's immigrating to a different country to pursue a better life. None of us can follow her (at least not yet) and she'll be all by her lonesome for quite a while. Before she goes though, we want to write letters which we'll hide in her bag along with a QR code to a playlist she can read all of the letters to.
Generally, this is the kind of vibe I was hoping for for the playlist but suggestions are always open. If you have a song that goes perfectly with the imagery of a tough 27-year-old girl in an airport resisting her emotions but inevitably getting her tears all over her 20+ friends' love letters... please share it!
Thank you guys, and if you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear stories about how your song(s) make you feel as well. Happy Lemmy'ing all

What genre of music is this and who can I look up to find more?

Sounds like something you can play on a chill Saturday night drive. I used to listen to trance but I'm not sure if this is that since I'm not exactly updated on genres and artists nowadays. I love that the drop isn't so hardcore. Anyone got more?

What's your "Fine, I'll do it myself" song(s)?
Just looking to have some fun here. Imagine this:
Your boss assigns a difficult task to a co-worker who you know will ask you to "help out" for the nth time. You want to refuse but you don't trust his skill if he's left alone and neither does management. "Fine," you think, "I'll do it myself". Your eyes squint in contempt and a few songs play in your head as you begin the paltry task before you. What are those songs?
An example: Feels Like Summer - Childish Gambino

Upgrade path for these specs?
Hey PCMR, what’s a good upgrade path for my old PC from 2018? My budget is about $500 USD, here are the specs:
undefined
CPU: i3-8100 Mobo: B360 GPU: 1060 6GB RAM: 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 Monitor: Asus 60 Hz 24", VZ249HE I think PSU: Seasonic S12II 520w
Use case: gaming, streaming, minor video editing, work
I don't mind getting secondhand, might actually prefer it depending on the part. Also kinda wish I won't have to change mobos unless the performance difference is big enough for the same price (like 10+ FPS). I'm thinking I'll just get an i7-8700 + 6700 XT + 650w brand new PSU and I'll follow that up with a monitor upgrade a month or two after this upgrade. Though someone here might know a more optimal route?
Also, any monitor recommendations? Would it be better to go with a 1080p 24" 144 Hz or 27" 1440p 75 Hz? I don't play a lot of FPS but I do go sim racing
Thanks guys

What stance are you entrenched in today that might be a social issue in the future?
In the past, we've had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.
Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.
In a few decades' time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?

What does your guild card look like and what's your character's story?


Both of my main characters in MHW and MHR came all the way back from my Guild Wars 2 days(last image). The male one was my own creation and the female one was my wife's, but I bring both of them through all of my games now as if they're traveling through different game worlds.
What about you guys?
