    In reply to Datamancer Ergo Steampunk Keyboard Makes Writing Victorian Fanfics Slightly Less Uncomfortable
    So is steampunk basically a synonym for "Victorian"? Because I would imagine for something to be steampunk, it would have to involve steam (or faux steam machinery) and a punk element of some kind.


    Maybe my etymology is off...

    @closhedbb:
    Not _everything_ has to be steam-driven. This, in particular, would be human-powered by design, so there's no need for the keyboard itself to have any steam-powered component, unless that's how it would be designed to transmit the commands to the steam-powered computer.

    A long time ago, I operated a Western Union Telex machine to transmit messages arund the world, and the keyboard looked very much like this one. I had to strike the keys hard enough to punch holes in a tape and have been abusing keyboards with heavy keystrokes ever since.

    The word "steampunk" is ridiculous.

    Please stop.


    It's worse than "nucular".

    Gaslamp Fantasy? That's how the Foglios refer to Girl Genious, which they've said they sorta borrowed from the title of the excellent Gotham By Gaslight graphic novel.

    I thought steam punk was dead? We had the funeral and everything.
