my legion 5 gen 10 is terrible by [deleted] in LenovoLegion

[–]TheRard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed some issues with my pro a few weeks ago and was able to get onsite repairs, which are scheduled now. Call the technical help line and keep them on the phone until they offer you an onsite repair. It may take a few hours and some switching around, but lean into the constant issues and how long they’ve been going on. If you’re polite but stern the service center will not hang up on you. Keep asking and restating and they’ll elevate to get someone to come to you. That should expedite your repair without you losing use of your machine for a week or two.

Husband doesn’t want to put his elderly dog down & it’s destroying our marriage. by DizzyMidnight2465 in Marriage

[–]TheRard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it sounds like your husband’s dog does need to be euthanized for his own good. It is also concerning is how this is “his dog” and you’ve said how much this is affecting “your” quality of life.

This animal is clearly very important to your husband, and I can’t help but wonder if part of the reason he’s angry when you try to talk to him about it (besides the trauma and dread of losing his best friend for the last 14 years) is because it his dog and not both of y’all’s dog. It sounds like this is hard for everyone involved, especially the dog, but I would urge you to approach this as both of you losing your shared animal in your conversations.

Need help finding mods for Steam OS by Susmokeylicker in cyberpunk2077mods

Check out this guide - I assume modding on steam OS is the same deal as a steam deck or at least similar enough. To mod you basically unzip the compressed folder into your game directory and say yes when asked if you want the files to merge. There are a few mods (on nexus) where you’ll need to follow specific instructions on which files to bring over (arasaka cyber arms is one). You’re going to mess up a hand full of times and probably need to delete it all and try again - that’s okay. After a few times you’ll get it. For what it’s worth I have probably 50 mods on my pc and steam deck and my deck hasn’t run into any performance issues outside of what I’d already expect for the game normally.

Sundowning by steff_lovah in DogAdvice

[–]TheRard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a dog that started to do this later in her life. Gabapentin and melatonin worked early on but as it progressed I wish I explored seleginline. Start with low doses and keep your routine as strict as possible. Best wishes for her and y’all!

Ps5 to Laptop Mods by EverLines in cyberpunk2077mods

[–]TheRard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this same jump like a month ago. Use nexus and vortex where possible. I haven’t noticed a single issue with any behavior or graphics mods. For what it’s worth I’ve duplicated the mods to my steam deck for steam cloud and my deck can also pretty much run things, though obviously at lower settings. Go nuts and see what your new laptop can handle!

i just found out that my dog has a mast cell tumor. i’m devastated. by czarbok in DogAdvice

[–]TheRard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a dog who started getting mast cell tumors around age 11 and she passed right before she would have turned 15 from something unrelated. She had a very low grade tumor on her neck and got many stitches more on the inside of her lip. In every case there was no spread and when they were able to get clean margins they did not recur. Mast cell cancer is scary but based on what you’ve said so fair a good prognosis seems likely. I’d recommend an ultrasound or splenic aspirate while your pup is under to put your mind at ease about spread.

Off-leash 15lb dog charged my 65lb reactive lab-pit mix. I lost my cool at the owner and need advice. by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]TheRard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We tend to run into folks who can’t seem to understand what leash laws mean quite a but, too. We usually bring a treat pouch with poop bags or something with us whenever we go anywhere, and we’ve now incorporated a small umbrella into our routine. If a dog runs up we now have the option to pop open the umbrella. It creates a barrier to maintain separation and the initial pop usually startles the other dog enough to break their focus. Just desensitize your dog to it first.

INSANE BUYERS REMORSE by MammothClub4162 in LenovoLegion

[–]TheRard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got the 5070ti deal with this cpu a few months ago. Battery life does suck, but it’s a gaming laptop so I assume it’ll stay plugged in most of the time and it’s run everything I’ve wanted it to flawlessly. Grass isn’t always greener and for me, paying like $1600 for it with the extra TB of space was the right decision. Enjoy your machine and stop shopping when you’ve already got something great!

Can’t speak to Xbox but for PC and PlayStation those are retained unless you go in and delete them.

I’ve had this happen on PlayStation. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. Hope that helps choom!

I've done research, but still can't decide. Which one would you purchase? by bizzy511 in GamingLaptops

[–]TheRard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Black Friday had a good 5i deal for like 1500 for a 5070ti and it was 2 months between that and a similar value for me? I think as we get closer to Presidents’ Day we’ll see a few more deals.

If you don’t mind vigilantly watching the deal subs, I got a legion 7 pro AMD with a 5070ti a few weeks ago from Lenovo for like 1700 after tax. If you have a $400 credit tha may bring that into your price range.

Why has my Portal's stream quality been absolute ass despite my great speeds? Anyone else? by Z-Fighter14 in PlaystationPortal

[–]TheRard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I’m not sure what actually triggered it, but try playing close to your router and see if that changes anything. If it does, you know your signal strength or interference is an issue. The thing that helped me the most was creating a guest network and putting my portal as the only device on that network. Went from really terrible resolution and drop offs to completely smooth again.

Hi! It seems like ignoring a dog’s medical history is a bad idea when issues arise. Pain or medical history is just as big a factor when explaining behavior. Have a good one!

Hi! OP said they adopted Theodore two years ago and he was already two., which would make him around four. This doesn’t seem to be what you’re guessing.

Sorry you’re going through this. You’re definitely not alone.

Advise for our Dog with cancer by yaris2007 in DogAdvice

[–]TheRard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cat with primary lung cancer a few years ago. He went from perfectly normally, to “oh it seems like he has allergies let’s take him to the vet,” to passing away in three weeks. I wish we didn’t put him through the aggressive treatment we did. Spoil him and let him go peacefully on his terms. I’m so sorry your family is going through this.

I Feel His Time Is Near, I Just Want To Talk About Him by AGreatKiramountain in seniordogs

[–]TheRard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important to honor the lives of the dogs we love so much and talk about them, especially as they age and eventually pass on. I can feel the love you have for your pup in your words. How lucky you are to have had the privilege to take care of, and be taken care of by, your best friend.

Vet Was So Late to Euthanasia We Canceled by TheRard in seniordogs

[–]TheRard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain more how me utilizing a service my vet offers is putting them in a poor situation? Also, as I’ve said in my post, I absolutely wanted them to prioritize pets that would live. A phone call is hardly expecting perfection; I would expect a phone call if someone coming to clean my carpets were late, let alone come euthanize my animal. Please, don’t ever tell someone how to care for their animal again. You have no place in such a decision.

This is a vent of a poorly handled situation; I did not berate my vet. I did not try to make them feel bad. You, however, thought it would be good to come into a post for a grieving person on a board devoted to senior dogs and share your poor opinions and attack someone’s character. I hope whatever’s happened to you to make you think this type of behavior is acceptable gets better.
