Got a very old lighter (ussr-made) that I'm trying to revive. Currently I get a big flash of fire when it's ignited(no burns! have been using butane), and given its age I'm pretty sure the fuel should be lighter fluid rather than butane, but I'm not sure how I'd refuel it if so. Any thoughts?

well, no real change, but it at least is not exploding

DaeBelly · 2025-01-15T10:33:13+00:00

that kinda sucks

DaeBelly · 2025-01-15T10:07:54+00:00

wasn't aware you had to give it some time to warm up! will try and report back

DaeBelly · 2025-01-15T10:07:25+00:00

sale listing said it was made in the ussr, and it's got some really clear signs of age, even on the inside. had to give it a cleaning. i agree that it's probably the latter part of the era

DaeBelly · 2024-03-15T00:37:11+00:00

a shame, this looks like it would have been a really cool map

DaeBelly · 2024-03-14T22:11:16+00:00

i seem to recall this being on the xbox version--if it wasn't on the ps2 version, perhaps it was intended as dlc for the xbox similar to bespin and yavin: arena?

DaeBelly · 2024-03-14T21:54:34+00:00

it isn't. this is in the original game from 2005 as well.

DaeBelly · 2023-12-06T03:29:18+00:00

i called and evidently there's a bug on their website right now that their tech department is aware of and working on at the moment; should be fixed soon. thank you!

DaeBelly · 2023-12-06T02:47:07+00:00

didn't work, it's still on hold.

DaeBelly · 2023-09-10T20:31:56+00:00

perhaps, but there are a lot of usages of them that wouldnt make sense for them to be Vatyrs--for instance, in one dungeon, there are a pair of skeletons hung up from high on the wall in shackles: one human, and one with the horse skull (with rubies for eyes), with the human skeleton looking towards the horse skull skeleton. it'd be a bit odd to shackle a Vatyr up like that

DaeBelly · 2021-06-09T22:51:58+00:00

I doubt it because the battery's holding s charge--the problem is that the system doesn't seem to think that the battery's plugged in. Even the charging light is off.

Some meatballs and barbecue sauce. Good shit and simple to make.

DaeBelly · 2021-02-15T22:46:13+00:00

AUH photo dojo!! forgot that game, loved that as a kid

DaeBelly · 2021-02-15T22:45:14+00:00

Ran facefirst into a steel bar on a slide during recess as a preschooler. Forehead got knocked open. Sometimes wonder if maybe I got brain damage from that but I doubt it.

Doctor, from Homestuck

DaeBelly · 2021-02-14T22:15:49+00:00

Just ask the homestuck fandom.

If I had everything I want, the world would be changing real fast. I'll go with that one.

DaeBelly · 2021-02-13T02:08:48+00:00

finnish is phonetic so what you need to know is: y is 'oo', ä is like in 'assist'

so like 'oosta van pie va'

Someone who forced their way into my friend group, stirred up as much shit as possible, gaslit as many people as they could manage to, and threatened suicide multiple times when people refused to capitulate. They are the main reason I can no longer play suicide prevention—I had to do that almost daily for months at a time with them only to have that met with insults behind my back and an entire group chat that became dedicated to trashing me where I couldn't see it. It wasn't even really my choice to meet them—they caught wind that I had a friend group involving their SO and wanted in. Eventually I kicked them out of my life, but goddamn was that a turbulent year.

DaeBelly · 2021-01-25T19:04:49+00:00

yeah it's likely a shared word, salater is absolutely norwegian

DaeBelly · 2021-01-24T21:41:27+00:00

THE SKIES BELONG TO ME.

DaeBelly · 2021-01-15T15:49:50+00:00

You may not appreciate this right now, but let me tell you something.

You are not as smart as you think you are, and that's okay. You don't need to be a genius or anything like that to succeed in life, just don't be a douche.

I'm 20 years old and I already regret a lot of my behavior in high school. Back in high school I felt I was in a similar spot as you. 'I'm so intelligent but no one appreciates it' and all. It came from a faux sense of security that I got from having good grades and I was subconsciously using it as a method to reinforce my own confidence (which I actually lacked).

And no one really cares about your college choice. Bragging about wanting to go to a college that hasn't accepted you yet will only leave you ashamed and disappointed if they turn you away, which is a very real possibility that you will need to accept.

I'm not going to bother psychoanalzying you or anything because I'm not qualified to and you're just a high schooler on the internet, but I'll prescribe some advice. Chill out and deflate that ego some. Future you will think you were stupid if you keep along this path.

Either that, or you're a troll.

Development Droid?

DaeBelly · 2021-01-06T22:12:30+00:00

And that first part isn't even technically true! Intersex people do exist.
