Do what?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What'll keep it fresh and exciting?

@Techspert

Get something like that. It won't be worth. Get something practical or make something to fit your own needs yourself.

@Techspert

The fact that everything is brand new!

@Intrepid

Isn't that what this entire discussion was about? Making authentic steampunk stuff with scrap parts?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Multifarious

Newer than you'd get with traveling in your home world?

@Techspert

Yes. You can still make it yourself and fit all my criteria.

@Techspert

Of course! There's a lot more of everything than there is of some of everything.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Intrepid

It won't have any of the good parts of making it from random stuff.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Of course! There's a lot more of everything than there is of some of everything.

@Multifarious

But the question is whether that everything is all that different than your some of everything you get to see.

@Techspert

What good parts?

@Techspert

Surely it is, if all the universes are different and stuff.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What good parts?

@Intrepid

Swapping out stuff to add new functionality, or super easy repair.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Multifarious

Some of them are, and some of them aren't. It depends on where you go.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

@Techspert

Designing things for versatile functionality, or having replacement parts at the drop of a dime. I know which side I'll always take.

@Intrepid

Yeah, same. That's why I choose the steampunk version where you can swap things super easily because you built it from meaningless scrap.

@Techspert

But some of infinite possibilities is still infinity, right?

[Intrepid]

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

@Techspert

How often do you find identical garbage?

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

But some of infinite possibilities is still infinity, right?

@Multifarious

Have you taken calculus yet?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

How often do you find identical garbage?

@Intrepid

The point is that you don't need to.

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

The point is that you don't need to.

@Techspert

Not until next year.

[Intrepid]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

The point is that you don't need to.

@Techspert

You will. It takes a lot more effort to compensate for an entirely new part while keeping the functionality consistent, as opposed to removing a part and putting a new version of the same one in.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not until next year.

@Multifarious

It'll make sense then.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

You will. It takes a lot more effort to compensate for an entirely new part while keeping the functionality consistent, as opposed to removing a part and putting a new version of the same one in.

@Intrepid

If you designed it, hopefully it's modular enough to work with something different. Specific-use parts stop getting manufactured after a while and then your EMP gun will never work.

@Techspert

I've designed trinkets and gadgets for a long time. If anything I know how to make them dependable.

@Techspert

Oh, so I guess it's not right.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Intrepid

Yeah, by making them modular.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Multifarious

It depends. Mathematically, I can fit infinite almost the same thing into an infinitely small space. Of course, I'm not saying Existence is like that.
