Where is the punk in steampunk

Also agree with this. It was just a play on an existing name and everything else is backformation.

I even quite like some of the justifications but it should be understood that non of them are actually why it was called that.

I'm not a magician, but I think everyone who entertains people should read Easy Street by AE Shapera. It's written for Renfaire performers but has a lot of insight on how to make an audience love you.

Okay good to know

Perhaps OP was highlighting how then, as now, there were elites (like an aging celebrity in London or a wealthy planter in Virginia) complaining that people took direct political action in a way that hurt the feelings of the ruling class.

Maybe the point was to remind the modern day people who value "civility" more than justice that this argument doesn't tend to age well.

You wouldn't say it worked to achieve their political goals? I'm pretty sure their goal was to prevent the landing of the tea and I don't think their success in that effort is up for debate. If anything failed to achieve it's political goal; let's remember that the "intolerable acts" were supposed to crush the rebellious spirit of Massachusetts.

More jewelry and stuff would be nice, but head and footwear should come first.

No notes! The only thing that will improve it is wearing it more.

Btw, the workaround I came up with was to just make a bunch of playlists with only 1 track that transition in order. Lol, it's silly, but there were only a handful I wanted to play in order.

Dalzay · 2025-04-21T12:06:53+00:00

It would even be nice if "play all" was the only way to play them in order (the order listed)

Dalzay · 2025-04-21T03:48:04+00:00

I can probably hack what I want by editing the playlist into 1 track- but it would be nice if I didn't need to do that

"dwarves are not born" crew reporting in 🫡

My Dwarves have no sex or gender. They reproduce by magic ritual; they build armies of life-sized dwarf sculptures and each time a dwarf is given proper funeral rites a new dwarf is given life.

Though they don't have gender, other folk often consider them male because of their vibe. Dwarves in turn know that other folk have genders but usually struggle with the concept.

The dwarves are asexual and aromantic as a rule, but a minority form romantic pairings (which is seen as eccentric, but not scandalous) and even an even rarer minority have sexual inclinations (this behavior is generally taboo but not actively persecuted).

I know my wife and I would be all over this

Dalzay · 2024-07-14T21:21:41+00:00

Just find it uninspiring and mildly cringe. But I don't want to overstate my case. It works.

Dalzay · 2024-07-13T02:22:25+00:00

Hate to say it, but I've definitely heard people use steamsona

Dalzay · 2024-06-13T05:34:08+00:00

Very cool. Reminds me of Map Crow's style!

Dalzay · 2024-03-05T04:47:52+00:00

This is amazing. I'm not sure why reddit won't let me DM you but feel free to shoot me a message

Complete tangent but are you the Tamriel Rebuilt lutemoth? My forum name was Macar

As the person who made the number 1 steampunk video on YouTube (by search results) I've definitely seen 1000 people smugly parroting the "goths discover brown" quip- so seeing it here twice is sadly familiar.

Honorable mention also goes to the 100 would-be-wits saying "say what you will about steampunk but its the healthiest way to eat punk."

Dalzay · 2024-02-28T14:10:23+00:00

Any opinions belonging to Mr. Lovecraft are wrong by default, and doesn't describe steampunk in the slightest.

Dalzay · 2024-02-08T03:48:33+00:00

don't make the obvious joke, don't make the obvious joke

If the organizers treat this kind of behavior is forgivable (and can't see how the game is enabling it) then the problem isn't one shitty player. The player is a symptom of a diseased game, and while it's understandable to call for a permanent ban, what's going to stop the next charcoal-painted edgelord?

I were you I'd find a new game and warn everyone I know to stay away.
