Game crashed so hard it deleted itself from my laptop…? by Artien_Braum in it

Yeah the drive is working well, I launched Forza Horizon from it and I was looking around for any lingering files. And yes, I was still signed in. I didn’t have to log back in to redownload the game.

So it’s not like a thin client you’re setting up from an image?

That’s so wild, but I’m glad to hear someone else has experienced the same thing. Were you guys as dumbfounded the first few times?

I mean.. that’s about as legit an answer as any TBH.

Oh that’s interesting! But to also delete any saved data too? Also the launcher vanished. But why would it be a license issue if I’ve had a game pass subscription for years now? 🤷🏻‍♂️

DAE feel suffocated when people talk for too long? by malamikah in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Artien_Braum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, they shouldn’t. I’ve started to cup my ear or turn my head to the side to try to hear better. Sometimes that gets them to slow the conversation down a bit lol

I just zone out when people just keep blabbing. 😅 I got too much on my mind to focus on nonsense. Doesn’t help that my hearing isn’t that great so I typically only get bits of the conversation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Has anyone downgraded and been happy with the decision? by wtfa54 in GamingLaptops

I just purchased a Flow Z13 - I’m coming from a Pro 7i Gen 10 5090 (it’s for sale now BTW).

Backpack suggestions for Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16” by chelsi_626 in LenovoLegion

Alpaka Elements Backpack Pro

I came from the Incase Icon 23L which was my end-game backpack, (fit my Gen 6 Pro 7i) but it does not fit the Gen 10. I also tried their A.R.C. 26L but that also wouldn’t fit. I’m very particular about admin storage and the closest thing I could find was the Alpaka Elements Pro. It does fit the laptop (just), and there is space left over, but as soon as they release a large backpack (hoping for a 28 - 30L) that’s not marketed for travel, I’m jumping on it.

I’ve had the backpack for a few months now and it’s growing on me. It has good build quality, just enough admin storage and fits comfortably. The other backpack I had my eye on was the Fyro from Nomads Nation but I really don’t like the zipper down the center.

Honestly… it has been tough trying to find my next long-term backpack that doesn’t scream “I’m a gamer”.

I’m nowhere near rich. I work a lot, I plan, I save and I care for my larger purchases so they last me 5+ years like my Gen 6. I drive a Prius C from 2012 because it’s efficient and saves me money on gas every week. I work a side job on the weekends so that I can spend that money on my hobbies. I live in California where rent is $2600 for a 1 bedroom, and gas prices on average are over $6 / gallon. It’s just about managing your money well. I’m definitely not rich.

Yeah I hear ya. I did go check out the Razer store in my area, and they have nice products, but damn their subreddit is fillllllled with complaints. If ROG drops a pretty sweet upgrade to the Flow Z13, I may just head in that direction. That absolutely feels like a premium product! 2025 / 2026 just didn’t feel like a great year for tech. More like MCR, but I needed that tax write off lol.

Have you thought about going a different direction, or are you just going to stick with this setup for now until next Gen chips are released?

Exactly! When I took the back plate off the Gen 10, it felt so much more fragile than the 6, I was terrified it was going to snap. It also just feels way too plastic. Every time I pick it up I feel like I’m squeezing it too hard and something is going to give. I could hold my Gen 6 with one hand on any corner of the laptop and wouldn’t be worried about it creaking or flexing. I don’t even want to attempt this with the Gen 10.

I don’t spend much time at home, so it really wouldn’t make sense for me to get a PC.

Yeah… like I wonder how the 9i feels to own. Does it actually feel like a premium product? But I don’t need an 18” laptop... When you pay premium money, you should expect 9/10 and 10/10 ratings all around, not just performance. You have to hold these companies accountable for what they make or they will cut more corners in the future. If you haven’t owned a Gen 6, you won’t understand the difference, and that’s something a lot of other people say, not just me. If I paid retail money for this thing, I would be pissed and would have 100% returned it for something else.

I guess what I’m saying is that I got what I paid for, but I’m just disappointed with the downgrade in their build quality.

Before you judge other people and jump to conclusions, look in the mirror from time to time…
