"OMG have you looked at the fucking Mona Lisa? Why the fuck didn't da Vinci use ogival arches on that bridge in the background? That's utterly moronic; they should burn that shitty painting and flush the ashes."

If you're going to use ESL as a defense, it's best to bring that up in your initial post; I'll never fault a non-native speaker for misusing a word/term/phrase in certain contexts, but that you resorted to it only when taken firmly to task over your mistake (twice, might I add) seems a little disingenuous.

Look, dude... I get where you're coming from on the Steampunk is tacky angle. I grew up loving the hell out of actual Victorian Romantic Science-Fiction. You know the stuff that Steampunk took all of its inspiration from. For a time Steampunk was pretty nifty. Up until about 2004, when it grew into a sub-culture, and…

Sorry, you're still wrong.

You're arguing that you don't find this "awesome piece of work"(your words) to be aesthetically appealing. And that is fine and dandy. You are doing it in an assholey kind of way however. You know this. You're good at it in fact. Judging by your Saturday nite of Archer, comics and forum surfing, I'd say you've had…

I wouldn't know how to value attention. It comes as a matter of course. I don't need to force it by being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole.

Are you saying you know the precise amount of gears and chimneys required to make an automated turtle-city?

I find it incredibly entertaining that your initial complaint with the work in question (the Minecraft tortoise) involved a failure to accurately depict the function of gears (implying a certain level of technical expertise—which also implies the requisite knowledge of terminology required to describe not only the…

So no one is giving you attention except here and probably that other forum. Got it. SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY A HUG!!

Damn dude after reading this thread you seem to care entirely too much. Calling you butthurt would be generous.

what are you some faggot troll?

Alright, time to call you on your massive, steaming (ha!) pile of bullshit.

It's a tortoise thing in Minecraft; WHO CARES???

Suuuuuurreee, some one needs to have a wank..

X is a variable. It can be filled in with any value. In this case, that value is steampunk. The variable is used because for any value of X, the argument itself is still guaranteed to be incredibly whiny and hipstery, based purely on the logic used to make it.

No, you fuck off, you are belittling something which is complete fantasy. You are probably right, not that your knowledge on the matter had anything to do with that, the gears may not be necessary, they can however simply add to the aesthetic. Aesthetic is what keeps things that more interesting, I doubt anybody was…

Haha... OK. You're hilarious.

Whatever. I'm not the one whining because every visible gear doesn't have an obvious pairing.

Yeah, that's what I said. You expect to see flawless detail in an imaginary creation. But if you want to be that anal, they could be flywheels.
