[FRIAM] Isness: Using Multi-Person VR to Design Peak Mystical-Type Experiences Comparable to Psychedelics

[Stephen Guerin]

While not a direct gamer myself, I spend a lot of time watching game
streamers on Twitch. Grand Theft Anointment 2020 was so addictive.
@BigDailyBeastMode and @CarlsonTucksAssTart stream great first person views
with psyTwinks wares for the blue and red teams. Amazing to watch mad
twitch skillz of OG Twink. Top circuit court bender in years hacking a
bunch of NPCs to Swarm the Rotunda Base Station and stacking the Grand
Council. almost pulled off a 51% attack to rewrite the blockchain with
pwned electorSlates!  Blue team loaded some great twink wares yesterday to
get the honeypot docs at the OGTwink's marLago lair. Can't wait for GTA2024
SenatorsCreed release - already watching some early alpha play. Hack the
Burghers, Lock and Load, and TruthBDamned
