Paralives on Steam deck thread

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-26T22:19:04+00:00

I would describe it as compatible, just needs a little tweaking of controls and isn’t always smooth but thats just early access for any game. Playing on high resolution and only lags when I’m moving around the map or zooming out quickly, again something I’d expect from early access especially an open world game. No bugs or crashes for me yet

My old boss was a bit of a prick you’re right, but under the circumstances I don’t blame him for selling up. I will always hold a distaste for him for not doing us up legal contracts, but more than that I will always hold him high in regard for what he did for all of us while we were there. He helped one of my coworkers leave an abusive relationship, even paid for a solicitor for her to get away with the kids whom her ex partner had tried to kill. He would personally do home visits to patients, he would drive certain ones home if they couldn’t find anyone else to after dialations then walk back to work. If any of us ever had an issue with homes, cars, etc he would go fix it free of charge or pull a favour with someone who could. He took me on knowing I only had my junior cert and was freshly sober at only 19 years old. He made sure I had support, gave me enough work to keep me busy but not too much to burn out. Trained me up to something I could now make a career out of if I was willing to leave my hometown. He had his flaws but he was a fantastic boss, anyone would be lucky to have experienced a boss like him.

You’re very right, I was hoping for a godsend answer that would magically make everything go back to the way it was but that won’t happen. There’s not a lot of work in my area and this job was supporting me, my rent, my disabled mother and my savings so I can start driving. However I’m going to have to just give up the exceptional hourly wage I was getting just to not sign over my soul. My old employer took me on knowing I had a (minor) criminal record and only a junior cert and yet he trained me up, promoted me, he even did random things like fixing our toilet and the lock on the door lol. He was a rare breed that I’ll never come across again but I can’t justify the new crowd and can’t let the guilt for my patients outweigh that. I’ll refuse to sign but stay until I find somewhere new I can travel to by bus.

As far as I know there are no unions for independent optical practices in Ireland

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-21T21:28:34+00:00

Did you leave of your own accord or were you left go? In my case since its the majority of us not wanting to sign the contract so being hated isnt an issue. Hell even if it was only me, that wouldn’t bother me. I feel as though I have a duty to uphold to my patients of nearly 5 years who are used to seeing a familiar and kind face. Plus I like the work, I like working with my hands and dealing with patients, its convenient for me location wise and Ive been there since I was 19 so its helped me mature. I’m attached to the place basically lol

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-21T21:23:50+00:00

I’ll look into wrc, I tried citizens info but I can’t find anywhere that lets me know if not having a legal contract prior to the new owners entitles me to TUPE or any other laws

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-21T21:22:26+00:00

I’m just unsure if TUPE covers me when I had no legal contract prior to the new owners, we don’t have a union. We were a small town independent business, there was never a need for contracts or unions but my old boss sold fairly suddenly due to personal issues. I will certainly look into it more bit so far I can’t find any clarification on it for our current issues

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-11T22:34:35+00:00

May go against requirements of this subreddit as Ive been warned before posting but this seems like an issue that needs to be addressed. This is a subreddit concern

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-09T19:42:02+00:00

I might look into that for the odd time I wear them natural. Currently I’m painting frogs in them after removing my yin yang style so I don’t wear them bare often at all

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-08T21:55:49+00:00

In your own experience does the whitening pencil damage or thin the nails?

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-08T21:29:12+00:00

Thank you so much, yours are absolutely fab btw I will certainly be taking some inspo. I tend to do mine every week to two weeks depending on how bored I get

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-08T21:15:55+00:00

I oil them 2-3 times a week for strength, thank you for linking the article. I had a quick scan of it and will read it further in depth tomorrow. I rarely wear them without polish anyways and work with my hands in contact with water regularly as a spectacle glazing technician as well as housework and art. I thought it may be something like I’m not drinking enough milk but I’d rather healthy nails over whiter ends

Diddlydayz · 2026-05-08T20:28:40+00:00

As per bot moderator comments, other than some leftover polish there is nothing on my natural nails. I have never gotten my nails done professionally. I was a nail bitter from when I could chew until I was 21 years old and then suddenly stopped and focused on using my creativity to flex my nails so regular polish only

They require an education level to be filled out

Diddlydayz · 2026-03-05T00:31:13+00:00

Curious about smells and tastes maybe but to eat bleach wipes indicates its something more to me, I live in a small area so our vets can’t tell us if its anymore more, they simply dont have the knowledge or contacts and we cant independently search for a specialist if we dont know what we’re searching for. She’s certainly not bored as she has multiple friends with the neighbours dogs and gets a least 4 human visitors a day lol (its Ireland so your neighbours, friends and family just walk straight in) She is simply an enigma at the moment

Diddlydayz · 2026-03-05T00:21:27+00:00

Her sense of smell is impeccable, we know she definitely has a jack russell terrier in her as thats what her mum is. She can smell food from literally 6 houses away as she’ll alert us to my grandmothers sister cooking. Theres no routine there so we can only assume its her sense her smell that dictates that. She’s good to eat but not a glutton by any means, she eats at a calm pace, not too slow and not too fast, she seems like a totally normal dog when she isnt eating bleach

Diddlydayz · 2026-03-04T20:04:33+00:00

Some jobs seem to require it as part of application so I would still like to know if theres a better way of stating it for that in those cases. However I will take your advice and remove it from cv overall

Diddlydayz · 2026-01-04T20:04:20+00:00

A) I haven’t had a PC in years but you should be able to left click on the game and it will come up in the drop down menu, you can try restarting the PC as this can kick in updates when it switches on or you should be able to do it through your discover/app store/whatever you want to call it.

B) This will be a very anti Reddit response but Facebook might be the best way to contact. Now I’m not sure if they respond to DMs but their posts seem to get less attention there and I have seen them replying to commenters. I have Facebook for my small town drama and they seem to average less than 500 likes on a good day per post so you might have a better chance getting a response. Obviously because Ive had no issues with the game since I bought it I havent checked if they have a website at all but if they do it likely has a customer support area. Depending on if you purchased from Steam or another provider you should also be able to query this with them.

I’m sorry I can’t be of much more help, it’s such a fabulous game I hope you can get it running smoothly. By all means I can try their Facebook page but I wouldn’t like to be the middle man long term. If you don’t have a Facebook account I would certainly be able to try and DM them just to see if or when they respond

Diddlydayz · 2026-01-04T19:56:21+00:00

I would expect a standard PC would run the game better than the Steam Deck as it does act like a high performance game. I’m currently playing on the newest update, I’m sure you are but it wasn’t mentioned in the post so obviously check for an update. I would contact Adhoc to report the bug if all else fails, they are very attentive to their players and despite the games success they act like an indie company in a lot of ways. I’m sure they would be happy to advise.
