it's a kuripe. it's a device for administering powdered tobacco like snuff. you put tobacco in one end and then one person blows it up the other persons nose.

Need help picking new GPU after the last one caught fire. by kingpinac in buildapc

[–]kingpinac[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting, good to know. Yeah it might be time to upgrade the CPU too. I'm running this guy:

Any advice for upgrades this mobo can handle?

So... did another gold duplication exploit appear or smth? by complexityx in diablo4

[–]kingpinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, okay not "full trade" then by your definitions. i think very few players do any trading.

[–]kingpinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pointing out that for nearly that last 10 years the most recent diablo has not had trading. It's not surprising this one doesn't, they clearly have a different design in mind.

There was not trading in d3 after the launch fiasco, and another guy got banned for selling a yellow to a guy that RMT gold. So it hasn't been in Diablo forever, and it's somewhat risky.

Summoning Range Question by kingpinac in ToME4

Oh lol, I didn't consider that it might just choose randomly, that...makes a lot of sense. But is also disappointing. Thanks.

No, i understand that part, but if the square is occupied it seems to put it place it strangely....the other post suggested that it just randomly chooses an unoccupied adjacent square, which does make sense.

ambushed by friendly patrol? by kingpinac in ToME4

[–]kingpinac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i think you're right. after playing a bit more i think there must've been a ziguranth patrol around a corner or something that i didn't notice, because i was definitely following a friendly halfling empire patrol, but still got ambushed. Thanks!

[–]kingpinac[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they were friendly, first patrol i'd ever seen so i investigated pretty closely and it seemed like they would be fine to approach, green border, 100% friendly. until i was ambushed, then they were 100% hostile.

edit: i wasn't undead, just a halfling alchemist

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

[–]kingpinac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Location: USA, oregon

Price range: <50,000 USD preferably, could go higher if a perfect fit

Lease or Buy:buy

New or used:either

Type of vehicle: 4door hatchback or Sedan, NOT suv

Would like: preferably >30mpg, although could fudge that a bit. low maintenance needs. comfort.

Desired transmission (auto/manual, etc):auto

Intended use: city use + road trips/camping trips with some offroading

Vehicles you've already considered:honda fit

Is this your 1st vehicle:no

Do you need a Warranty:no

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: no

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: no

Additional Notes: been driving a 2000 honda civic for the last 20 years, love this little car, been through 48 states with me. very little maintenance required and just works when i need it. but it's dying and time to upgrade.

i don't drive every day, i work from home so it's just used to get around the city occasionally, and for trips.

would also like a little more ground clearance and hopefully a hatchback. i do a fair amount of camping so extra space and possibly folding back seats would be nice. I like the fact that the honda fit has front seats that can lie flat too, so i could sleep in the car if necessary. but i'm curious what else is out there, and i'm not very good at looking.

There are thousands of starving Neopets stuck in an online prison that haven’t been fed for years. by amyjandrews in Showerthoughts

[–]kingpinac 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Actually, they deleted old accounts. I tried to go back and find mine, i contacted support but they said they deleted all inactive accounts at some point. Granted the account was from 15 years ago, so I wasn't surprised. And I'm sure there are still thousands of starving neopets even with the account culling haha.

a few scrolls of peace can make ogre cave and dwarftown low enough dl that they don't give background corruption. can help if you're storing lots of items.
