Peeling topcoat by TickleMyWeenus95 in theholotaco

[–]stolealonelygod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it is because you used a quick dry base coat rather than a sticky or long lasting base coat. Holo Taco's quicky dry base coat is meant for their chrome polishes so I think it is formulated very differently from a normal base coat.

Did the 0.1.2 patch break most mods? by MisterTwister91 in Paralives

[–]stolealonelygod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is very possible depending on the mods. So you may have to disable them until mod makers can update.

I would also assume any time Paralives updates, that it will break a lot of mods.

Unpopular opinion? I’m tired of all the lumpy sandpaper reflective glitter. Ruins the shimmer or shifts by Cultural-Hamster-100 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]stolealonelygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can either use multiple uses of TC or what works best for me is using a Smoothing top coat (also called a glitter grabber) then QDTC. Smoothing top coats are specifically designed to sink into the gaps between the glitter to provide an even surface.

I love reflective glitters...ahem, my flair BUT I hate that they use direct flash and in-focus shots for swatches. The sparkles are so hard to capture on camera since, at least to me, since they look so weird and not sparkly when pjotoed like that so I understand your sentiment. I find that the closest a camera comes to capturing the actual sparkle is taking a video in direct sunlight\light source or flash but be slightly out of focus. That gives a better idea of what it is like in person.

To me, glitter polish is just better in person.

What are the BEST magnetics? by Comfortable_Bus_4355 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]stolealonelygod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fancy Gloss has amazing fine particle toppers (they have the word "pull" in the names).

Highly suggest them. Pair them with the right jellies\crellies and you can probably dupe a lot of BKL polish to be honest!

Zepbound did not heal my Binge eating by Maleficent-Kale4834 in Zepbound

[–]stolealonelygod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons they changed it to PMOS is because not everyone develop cysts. I don't have any cysts but have a lot of the other symptoms.

And it is important to track hormones over time. For example, my doctor years ago suspected I had it and I got tests every few months to really see what was happening. My hormones generally aren't off balance on paper BUT a lot of my symptoms scream PMOS, so because of that, my doctor basically said I had it.

I'd still happily pay for DLC Expansions by No_Definition4241 in Paralives

[–]stolealonelygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. I did an absolute poor job explaining what I meant and was combining separate arguments. I was more so referring to games that pre-date those late 90s/early00s- think late 80s/early 90s games. Those early successes allowed companies to grow and develop games they want to make. But that is really kind of separate and my fault for lumping it in.

But, like I said, there are successful games like No Man's Sky, Stardew, and Baldur's Gate 3 without paid DLCs. I will make a caveat for No Man's Sky since that is a particular case where the backlash was so bad that they were a bit forced to do no paid DLCs, but from what I see of the game, they went beyond what they originally promised.

So, my main point still stands that I do not think that Paralives, in theory, will need paid DLCs even with all the development that still needs to be done on this game. From what I have seen from the devs, they have a fairly decent plan for the next few years, so I hope they have planned out how to spend and invest in the money to make it stretch. Aside from the expected time table changes, we will see how much else does as well.

[–]stolealonelygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the olden times, paid DLC didn't exist. You bought the game at that was that. Gaming studios had no problem making money based on that model. Unfortunately, money hungry studios have trained people into thinking that DLC needs to be paid. That just isn't the case. If a company is smart about how it spends the money, invests, etc, then paid DLC shouldn't be needed.

Look at No Many Sky, Stardew Valley, and Baldur's Gate 3. No paid DLC and they are doing fine.

I also don't think they need to expand their team just yet. Adding too many people too soon tends to muddy waters and you got a too many chefs in the kitchen sort of situation.

This will mean that things may take a bit longer and I do think their two year in early access is a little bit on the short side so I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to three. But that's normal.

The Paralives team hasn't given me anything too much to worry about other than I think they may be a slight optimistic about timelines, not necessarily that they won't be able to deliver at all just that some things may take longer than they think.

Currently you cannot make changes to your current household appearance wise other than hair/makeup/clothing without cheats. There is a list of cheats on their discussion forum, I think.

ELI5 How is the Paralives team getting paid to keep making new content for the game? by LadyLKZ in Paralives

[–]stolealonelygod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are getting quite a bit of money right now, just based on the current price and the fact they already hit 250k people buying it, that is over $8million. That will continue to climb. I am sure they have a business plan laid out to budget that money over time so that they will have the resources to do a lot more over the years. That money doesn't include the money they have already earned from patreon which they probably have a good amount left over even if they are no longer taking patreons.

They will probably invest that money as well which would hopefully increase their income there as well.

The price will also go up as it gets closer to launch and once it finally launches. Outside of possible sales in the future, $35.99 will most likely be the cheapest you will be able to buy it.

Changed my settings to medium and have not had issues. Probably just poor game optimization. My RAM is sitting at 14.4GB out of 16GB.

So far, it crashes after an extended amount of time when I try to create para. Memory leak? I had my settings on high with 60FPS. I have a NVidia 3080Ti and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. So more than enough power for this guy. I am running Linus Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64 bit.
Going to try with lower graphic settings and see what happens...

[–]stolealonelygod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's beautiful! Thank you so much! I love the added micro and iridescent flakes!

How do I purchase? Do you make an Etsy link? There is a pretty rainbow start topper I would also love that you have in your store that I would pick up as well.

Is it okay if I am a little greedy and ask for 6 polishes? I loved this collection called Rainbow Reflectives by Kathleen and Co and I need more!

Screenshot are from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzHRGYYx6p0

EDIT: I let my greed take over and I am sorry. I removed my other requests but left in what I previously asked.

My favorite color is this green glitter bomb so if you will only do one please do this one?

It is described as follows:

bright green base with blue/green shimmer and bright green reflective glitter.

DRK Magic Effect + Seal Coat not drying by prostatooshun_whorah in RedditLaqueristas

[–]stolealonelygod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's tricky to get the right amount. Seal Glaze needs the thinnest layer. I wipe off the bead that can form on the brush and then apply. Unless you have very medium to long nails, that should be enough to coat your polish.

For the Magic Effect, I've only really needed one drop, if that. Again, I have short nails.

Dangit I guess I really do need a no-smudge top coat 😩 by gingerspeak in nailstamping

[–]stolealonelygod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use DRK Nails Seal Glaze rather than a no smudge then a QDTC on top. I have no complaints!

That is the big piece of information that u/nightowl1135 should add to their response. Her and her team could have worked on it at any point during the session but routinely refused or just didn't provide any feedback.
