43 years. That's how long I've been keeping this train loving geek under wraps. Now all that hard work has gone to nothing.

Thanks oblivion!

Only one thing on God's green earth would ever get me near that drug, and that's if I was facing my own certain death soon anyway. wait what am I saying?! existence is futile and death the only certainty.

Steampunk mass transport modalities. Marvellous.

I'm playing BioShock again.

steampunk Iron Man

Adenosine · 18th March 2015, 04:38 AM

Very cool, but he definitely needs some multi-lens complex vision device.

borealis · 18th March 2015, 05:02 AM

Nah, that blue glowing inset lens on his chest is actually an advanced ocular system. It probably extends and has segments or lever devices so it can look around corners and such.

Adenosine · 18th March 2015, 05:11 AM

No! For shame b. That's Iron Man's power source, a glowing, coal...fired...furnace....hmm. I'm detecting a slight problem with Steampunk Ironman, his power source would be the size of a steam locomotive.

You don't think he gets about on legs, do you? He's clearly centauresque in his design, locomotive lower half is way too big to fit into the box brownie frame.

Flying centaur give me the willies, 'cause I've been around horses and I know what they do.

I can sure imagine Ironman without pants though. Not that I'm imagining Ironman without pants - that was charlou's thing. I'm pretty sure.

actual steampunk

I watched this doco on the flight back from Adelaide yesterday. Brilliant! I want one.

Oblivion - this one's for you...

oblivion · 17th April 2015, 06:16 PM

That's amazing. And it's right on the cusp of something - a perfect meld of things I can't quite seem to express.

Watch the whole 1-hour documentary if you can find it somewhere. It's great.

One of people in it was interviewed in sign language - apparently deaf people commonly made good Linotype operators because the noise didn't bother them.

I've heard of this factoid.

MSG · 17th April 2015, 10:53 PM

factoid? how dare you?

Dionysus · 17th April 2015, 11:27 PM

Just a regular everyday oid then.

Requiem · 17th April 2015, 11:33 PM

I thought a factoid was a "little fact" -- not derogatory at all, at least I've never used it in that way.

MSG · 17th April 2015, 11:39 PM

The suffix -oid means -like, implying a fake or imitation, or not quite accurate - hence humanoid / android, oblate spheroid, etc.
