I haven’t seen much pop culture reference. It may be the algorithm, but no videos on my feed show steam punk. No video games. No mention on social networks. I was never really into it, but I do kind of miss the dorky weirdness of it and I still would have welcomed its persistence. Was it replaced by something? Like, what happened?

I was at the renfaire this weekend and I saw about an equal number of steam punk costumes and Jedi running around. (about 6 of each) I saw a dozen plague doctors which must have been miserable in that heat. I saw no starfleet officers. Startrek is more dead than steam punk from what I saw.

They're selling two different varieties of steampunk top hat at the drugstore near me. It's not too late.

MAN I hope so. Imagine fantasizing about living on the upper crusts of a Victorian society that's too stupid to ever discover electricity or internal combustion engines. "Egad, we must get to the Royal mines in a fortnight! Quick, take Professor Fizzlechaps's latest world-changing invention, the auto-roller! It goes 4 mph and requires a refill of water every two kilometers. Also remember to change your mask filter every hour otherwise you'll die of blacklung" "Can't we just take a horse?" "THAT'S NOT SCIENCE!" je1 healthcare fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Oct 6, 2025 |

I'm remembering a book where one of the characters was a lady who was like half furnace and I think she got boned. It was not a good book.

Good news! At first I thought i was going insane but I finally found it quote:Angevine is in her thirties, having been on Armada for over ten years since her ship was captured. Below her thighs, Angevine's legs have been replaced by a bulky, wood-fired steam engine that drives a pair of caterpillar treads.

"look, im a Star Trek guy visiting a society based on Renaissance England earth!" Is a bit from the big bang theory. That's what you're doing when you show up like that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You should be ashamed of yourself. It's been a thing since well before big bang theory referenced it. Basic costume is easy, shirt that closes with leather straps, maybe a home spun cotton undershirt (it will help a lot in the heat!) and a bycocket hat.
