Steampunk has been destroyed by hipster pricks.
It was socio-political commentary in sci-fi novels at one point, now its a fashion movement with little or no awareness of its origins.

Everything is wank to some degree or other
it's just wankness is increased or reduced by the number of absolute fucking pricks involved, so in that sense Winders is spot on.

Sorry, no, I wasn't commenting on the general number of people involved
just specfically the number of absolute pricks involved.

I was a prick before it became fashionable.

I don't know what you're on about here, so I'm just going to nod, smile and back away slowly.

I kind of am one and yes they would
I think I just like the idea of technology I could actually fix or build, where as the higher realm of electrickry are beyond me. well, once you get up to robot-level, anyway.
