[P2TM Chat] The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse

Interestingly, said hot air is how they power their mechs.

A vehicle propelled by the bullshit its very existence generates. I think we have a perpetum mobile.

U mad science?

[Constaniana]

Oh, when I said "my blood," I didn't mean the actual oxygen-transporting blood in my veins, but the human blood I have for consumption. I heat it with the hot air mecha proponents generate.

Or something.

Hey, don't be knocking steampunk too.

I actually like steampunk, to an extent. Can't stand steamwank, though.

Where do you draw the line, and what are examples of both?

Punk is doing something remotely believeable (like, a steam-powered tank or something). Wank is, like, making an FTL drive powered by a steam locomotive.

Now you've made me want a Space Battletrain Yamato.

I do link "steamwank" aesthetic, but I do agree that within RPing, scientifically possible steampunk is best.

"Steamwank" sounds like a horrifying old-timey sex toy.

"It's a gas in the bedroom, ladies and gentlemen! Sure to make him/her blow his/her horn in ecstasy and excitement! Sure to make even the most strait-laced of schoolmarms steamy and salacious! Buy it now and I'll throw in a bottle of Doctor Jack's old-timey KY genital balm. What's the KY stand for, you ask? Why 'Knock 'yer Yuckies', of course! As in when you use it you'll be knocking 'yer yuckies together in no-time flat! Either that or you can use it for the burns from my steamwank...Doesn't that just sound bully?"

I've never been able to enjoy the whole Victorian-era motif that sorrounds steampunk. It never interested me to any real degree. Always was more of a 'dieselpunk' fan. Because blimps are a lot cooler in the 1920s than they were in the 1890s or so, and steam-planes are just ridiculous.

Dieselpunk is frankly great. Plus, Tesla.

I wonder what Teslapunk would be like.

I used to be a big fan. The first time I saw it in use was in Rise of Legends, which was a fantastic game. Now I find it pretty overused, but it's cool when used in moderation, like in Bioshock Infinite.

Perhaps it started with me when I liked Thomas the Tank Engine, what with all the steam locomotives.

I don't really get punks. They imply most, if not all of the world run on a single technology, which has never been the case in the real world.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

I don't really get punks.

I don't either. They're undecipherable, with their silly green mohawks and shit. -Nods-

And we all know how much you dislike green-haired people.

Leviathan series is best steampunk series.

Well, more like pre-eminent.

And today's world may very well be called Oilpunk-ish...

Oil's the fuel, but there's also nuclear power. So nukepunk? Our time is also defined by the internet and digital communications. Digipunk?

Pre-Cyberpunk. At the rat we're going we'll hit cyberpunk by, ohh, 2025.

We live in the Information Age, where silicon and plastics rule manifacture, and the power of divided atoms keeps growing.

'Information Age' is commonly used to denote the internet/communication revolution we're going through, so perhaps 'Infopunk'?
It does seem to be trending towards 'cyberpunk' though. Especially if one listens to futurists or google.
