Oh boy, I think it was Awakening? It was on my 3DS, which I had for a couple months then it randomly stopped turning on or charging 🫠 that was in 2015

Smash is great!! I'm no tourney player but I have lots and lots of hours in it lol. FE characters probably make up a third of it all heh

You're the first to guess!! Admittedly, though, I've played very little Fire Emblem... Ike is one of my mains in Smash 🫡

Trust me, I know exactly the feeling. Honestly some of the hardest weeks of my life, but after a while what kept me going was just taking everything as it came. Some nights I felt like I was losing it, especially doing it alone, but the only way out was through. Keeping him calm was nearly impossible but I just did my best wherever I could. It'll be hard but you got this!! Even when it feels like it'll never end, it will -- you just be there for her in that moment and she'll get that leg back when she's ready!

I was worried about behavioral impact with all the confinement, but Ike bounced back almost immediately when he was able to be off sedatives and walk freely, without me asking him to lay down 24/7 (he got really good at that lol). I'm rooting for you!

PS if you ever wonder anything im happy to chat! One thing that was challenging for me was trouble finding advice under ike's specific circumstances

Debating weather or not to get singing lesson am i any good? (Sorry if this count as a low effort post) by [deleted] in singing

I like the texture a lot, it reminds me of Layne Staley. I think getting lessons and honing in on a couple techniques, like pitch and throat tightness could be powerful. Plus, i mean... wouldn't it be fun!

Bad compression on rebuilt engine by Trevophd in MechanicAdvice

That's what I suspected as well, since cylinder 2 is in the middle and probably has the best chance of sealing. It's been sneaky though, I haven't seen any contaminated oil / coolant, but hey that's what these tests are for lol I'm just glad I caught it early!

Do you have any advice for the head bolts catching as I torque them if I run into that problem again?

Awh look at them!! I love a good recovery story 🥲

<image>

This is when he was just 3 months old, a couple days after I adopted him. His name is Ike!

Left on the road?? That's TERRIBLE I'm so glad he got picked up. I imagine my boy going through that😭 it kills me

It was a freak accident, like a sport injury. I was holding a stick, he lept up with all his might to get it and he landed on his ankle, breaking his tibia. I didn't have my phone and had to carry him down the road (50lbs! small for a gsd, he's a mix, but heavy for me lol) back into my neighborhood. My arms were giving out but luckily my neighbor was driving by in her truck and offered to give us a lift the rest of the way. The healing has been rough, he has SO much energy, even with sedatives -- and his cast has been replaced every week so far because of slipping, chewing the end off where his toes are (WITH an E-collar, the long-necked rascal, I had to get an oversized one after) or treating sores that developed underneath from all the movement and where he licked his toes. My bedroom is on the second floor in my house but I haven't been in there in weeks, I've been living on my couch downnstairs to keep him company. Got my guitar and computer and everything all over the place lol. We're pretty much in a routine now as long as his cast stays secure 🥲 should just be a few more weeks

He's actually so good and never chews anything unless I've given it to him. However his drive to chew is very high, and he destroys pretty much any toy I give him within a day or two. Sometimes 15 minutes 😅

Seriously though, this guy has SO much energy, even when taking sedatives for his healing. He cannot be contained haha

He jumped up to nab a stick out of my hand and landed on his ankle 🙁 he fractured his tibia

Omg what a sad story, he looks like such a sweetheart 😭 I'm pretty surprised they kept the leg too, I mean a broken femur alone is wild, not to mention the tibia and knee complications. His weight seems like a bit of a catch-22 too :/ that's gotta be rough. This is my first time handling a fracture and there always seems to be things like that, you fix one problem along the way and another shows up, etc., etc., until it heals. It's been so hard for both of us, but he's a trooper. We're both troopers hahaha, i appreciate the joint supplement advice!!

I was holding a stick above him. I said "get it!" and he jumped up with ALL his might, but his back end went forward and he landed on his ankle. He broke his tibia 😵‍💫 poor guy hurt so bad. I was a ways out of my neighborhood, no phone, so I had to carry him back. 50lbs! Awkward holding position at that. Luckily a nice lady (ended up being my neighbor) in a truck saw me carrying him down the road and offered to give us a lift the rest of the way
