  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

No, not even. Vendoring blues is worth more than salving.

Save everything! They're reducing the costs and making it require only 2 instead of 3 to upgrade in patch 1.03 :)

Made a throwaway/theme acct though, because my friends do not need to know I play neopets. No one needs to know that.

Socket that shit in shields, bro!

[–]s3n5ai 2 points3 points ago

I figured more people would get it if it was life steal as that's the only thing that I remember about skulls from D2.

Yet I still felt the need to add an explanation...

His dream got a bit weird at the end didn't it?

[–]Starstryker 2 points3 points ago

Given that Han deals with aliens on a daily basis, would that mean it got LESS weird at the end?

How about the legend of Shangri-La? Whatever they decide on, just please leave out aliens. Indy isn't sci-fi.

Indy isn't sci-fi? Huh TIL that 800 year old knights really do still walk and talk thanks to the Holy Grail and opening the Ark of the Covenant really will melt your face.

[–]Isatis_tinctoria 1 point2 points ago

Was that a good movie?

[–]itsnotmeokay 7 points8 points ago

There was no Indy 4 as far as I'm concerned.

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 125 points126 points ago

I was there the day that shit went down and would love to destroy the innocence of another generation. NSFanything.

Also, I thought that andrewsmith1986 and Trapped_in_Reddit were the same person.

[–]prettyawkwardpenguin 67 points68 points ago

NSF42.

Not safe for life, the universe and everything.

This should be a thing.

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 1 point2 points ago

I wholeheartedly endorse this.

[–]rockerlkj 31 points32 points ago

No. That was POLITE_ALL_CAPS_GUY and andrewsmith1986.

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 30 points31 points ago

POLITE_ALL_CAPS_GUY disappeared after that revelation. Then andrewsmith1986 was everywhere for a week. Then we met Trapped_in_Reddit.

[–]rockerlkj 20 points21 points ago

Trapped_in_Reddit is theorised to be more than one person sharing an account to they can maximise on Karma output.

[–]MrMastodon 17 points18 points ago

A collection of minds within a hivemind.

[–]adamdavidson 1 point2 points ago

A sub-hivemind, if you will.

[–]andrewsmith1986 62 points63 points ago

Thats been a joke about everyone for years.

[–]cowbacon 2 points3 points ago

Thats been a joke about everyone for years.

The only difference is that either you and trapped_in_reddit are both connected to the Matrix or your accounts are shared between different people so you can post 24/7 and in every thread at the same time.

[–]alwaysf0rgetpassw0rd 1 point2 points ago

One day I'm going to find proof and blow this case wide open.

[–]lantern55 1 point2 points ago

I say who gives a shit, it really doesn't affect anyone.

[–]flounder19 7 points8 points ago

POLITE_ALL_CAPS_GUY disappeared after that revelation

No he didn't. Besides, the whole thing turned out to be a joke, they're not actually the same person. andrewsmith1986 might have alt accounts (so he can make comments without hurting his reputation or just not always hear "omg, AndrewSmith1986, how do you have so much time to comment on everything?!?" which I imagine gets annoying after a while) but he's on reddit too consistently to be a likely candidate for trapped_in_reddit. Easy money is on Karmanaut but I just assume every new overnight fame redditor (PIMA, Trapped_in_Reddit, AtomicPlayboy) is Karmanaut until proven not-Karmanaut

[–]andrewsmith1986 21 points22 points ago

I have many alts.

I don't talk to my self on them and they aren't to keep my reputation safe.

Atomicplayboy is not karmanaut.

[–]spacemanoncrack 4 points5 points ago

Do you know who karmanaut is? im not asking you to tell us just wondering if anyone knows FORSURE he is still around, because he's still around in our hearts.

[–]andrewsmith1986 8 points9 points ago

because he's still around in our hearts

Speak for yourself.

But yes, I know who he is, his real name, and many of his alts and past alts.

[–]andrewsmith1986 6 points7 points ago

Just a joke.

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 7 points8 points ago

It was, but you're acting mighty suspicious...

[–]Fork-H 7 points8 points ago

That sounds like something an andrewsmith1986 alt would say...

[–]I_POTATO_PEOPLE 1 point2 points ago

:O

[–]Epershand 11 points12 points ago

wow I bet the original owner of the skull did not anticipate THIS

hilarious

[–]Sl1ngdad 7 points8 points ago

[–]friedrice5005 10 points11 points ago

Well...I'm done with the internet for today.

[–]Pyro_With_A_Lighter 12 points13 points ago

He said he thought andrewsmith1986 and Trapped_in_Reddit were the same person.

I got the gist, saw it coming with the pictures and everything....but I couldn't read the comments for anything because of the pic quality

Got a link? Or a better quality pic?

[–]Xanthien 11 points12 points ago

I tried that, OP stole it before I could recover it and put up this picture.

[–]GreenStrong 4 points5 points ago

I've done a bit of gem carving, it would be a matter of hours and hours of wet grinding with diamond tools, and days and days of prepolishing and polishing with fine abrasive on soft felt. There would be no hammering at all, the amethyst crystals would pop out.

You would probably start with a large grinding wheel to get the general sphere shape, but the bulk of the carving would be done with a flex shaft tool, it would take weeks of full time work to shape and polish it.

Basic gem carving tutorial here. I know the tools used to make carvings the size of the skull in jade, which is somewhat softer than quartz, aren't much different than what is shown in the tutorial. Jade isn't exactly soft, but it has a huge advantage- it has a fibrous microstructure that makes it resist chipping and cracking. The geode would be barely held together at the boundaries between amethyst crystals.

[–]itslikeboo 40 points41 points ago

holy schlamoley. that's a lot of semolians.

[–]steviesteveo12 71 points72 points ago

It's simultaneously more than I would ever pay and less than I thought they would charge.

[–]greeneagle692 8 points9 points ago

well it is basically a giant gem. no surprise.

[–]Nurga 3 points4 points ago

It's an agate geode which is worth next to nothing.

[–]Dax420 5 points6 points ago

Several hundred dollars != next to nothing.

It's not a diamond, but it's not a "worthless rock" either.

[–]steviesteveo12 4 points5 points ago

Agreed. "Semi-precious" basically means "not precious".

[–]kryonik 8 points9 points ago

That's a lot of squadoosh!

[–]Zeppelanoid 6 points7 points ago

Oof baboof!

[–]Kailoth 12 points13 points ago

Seeing as how these are actually extremely large goedes, the ones containing amethyst are semi-rare. Then the carving of said geode takes a special tool set, not to mention time and skill. I could see why they're not cheap. :s

[–]Skitrel 23 points24 points ago

[–]ThatFeel_IKnowIt 12 points13 points ago

"Oh wow that's fucking sweet! I'm totally going to buy......oh wait it's fucking $1,700.."

[–]danpascooch 11 points12 points ago

If I bought that, there would be a 100% chance that I would accidentally knock it off the desk and break it.

Then I would promptly kill myself

[–]Triviaandwordplay 7 points8 points ago

Possibly not hand carved, either, considering it can now be done with automated equipment.

[–]mentalorigami 6 points7 points ago

Have you seen this one?

[–]bradygilg 2 points3 points ago

Several hundred sounds cheap for this...

[–]ShellfishGene 3 points4 points ago

I like how he distinguishes between realistic skulls and super realistic skulls. I guess the next step up would be real skulls...

[–]danpascooch 4 points5 points ago

I'll throw it on the list of shit to buy if I get rich, along with the Periodic Table of Elements coffee table (little glass squares contain every non-radioactive element in the table)

[–]REDDIT_HARD_MODE 1 point2 points ago

If you guys like things like this, if you live in Michigan, around Mid-October, there's a big convention where a bunch of people set up stalls, and sell all kinds of things like this.
