So.

Who likes steampunk?

C'mon, gotta be a couple of you in the closet. Steampunk is fucking amazing, and everybody should like it. Period.

LOOK AT THIS. You cannot look at that and tell me that that is not the coolest effin' case mod in the history of mankind. Or one of the coolest, anyway. I mean, this one's pretty rad, too

That second one is really nice. Great detail with the brass. But the works don't do anything, right? It's just decoration?

SOMETIMES. I know some dudes who make the cooling fans by hand. It's not just aesthetically pleasing, but functional as well!

nerrrrdery

That's cool - it's not that I think style is pointless, it's just way more rewarding when it has a function too - especially hand-built stuff.

And I think this definitely qualifies as punk. We don't really have a 'steampunk' aesthetic back home but this has that subvert-the-underlying-tech feel to it.

Weasel, crown prince of nerds.

Have you seen the steampunk keyboard? Now there's function and form all at once.

holy crap I want one

[officerslinger]

Wow. That is nice. I'd be afraid to use it though, I'd hate to mess up the finish.

IS THAT NOT TOTALLY AWESOME

[la_belette]

Well, that's why you get a cover made for it.

S-SO SHINY

Makes sense.
I don't think we've talked before - my name's Robyn. I think maybe I've seen you post about guns or something?
Do you build case mods or do you just appreciate the designs?

[la_belette]

S'up, Robyn? How're they hangin'?

Yeah, I build guns and case mods. I've tricked out my Guitar Hero controller something fierce, too.
