Isn't that more Steampunk than Sci-Fi?
Steampunk isn't science fiction?  :o

It is, but I imagined we were talking about the SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE sci-fi and not the Scientific Fiction Sci-Fi

Then there's Science Fantasy (Star Wars, before the prequel trilogy is a good example. Before the prequels, Jedi were basically space wizards with laser swords), which blurs the line between sci-fi and fantasy even further.

At some point you'll realize its all fiction, and if there isnt at least one person who think its all just one story in different timelines or parallel realities or what-have you... there are many modern works that collect stories of the past into one setting, and there are works that collect modern works into one setting, because guess what, it all comes from the experiences of people of earth, and that is our setting.

By that logic, Death Metal and Happy Hardcore are the same genre of music.

(bad example though, considering I love all music equally :P )

Whats so off-putting about someone knowing what gets your rocks? I mean they must get rocks from watching you get rocks or something.

Your screename is oddly fitting. Do you know everybody's porn fetishes?  :P

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

There is one story that made me realize just how fucked up Elder Scrolls lore was. It by itself managed to confuse me so badly I needed to learn more.

KINMUNE.

Quote
KINMUNE (Kinetically-Interlinked Nirnian Multi-User Exoform) started her existence as any other proxy-synthetic of the 9th Era aurbical mining guilds: a limited sentience deep-pressure capable "thot-box"—a dreamsleevishell used by remote mortal operators to run the rigs of Kynareth's illicit breath trade.

I still wut every time.

Why is it every time I find strange messages about tamriel it always makes me think its evolving into some strange sort of prequel to the dune universe.

Dune voice weapons = FusRoDah
the voice = elderscrolls persuasion
spice mining guilds = 9th era elderscrolls mining guilds

If I'm the only one making these connection I'm sorry.

Sounds like a remote controlled robot fused with a thesaurus.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

You eat your own head
