<p>I could (almost) claim that I don't understand a word of what you
wrote here. ("I don't even know what you just said). It has the
earmarks of a (n un) natural text generator working with a fairly
rarified "gamer/fanboi" lexicon? Or maybe a couple of lexicons
merged (e.g. "pwned electorSlates") with a couple of contemporary
news items (e.g. marLago). I'm not sure if the SenatorsCreed
reference involved a recombination inside the AssassinCreed domain
or if it was a mashup in the moment? <br>
</p>
<p>Is this kind of hallucinagenic stream-of-consciousness a PoMo
thing or a Po PoMo? or more likely an (n*Po) Mo... ?<br>

<div>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</div>

off, here. The classification of twinking as cheating is so
over. This point still qualifies for both the general
content of the list and the VR/AR discussion. The difference
between a bug and a feature depends on the perspective of
the "user". E.g. the Log4Shell bug isn't a bug. It's a
feature if you're a black hat looking to "move fast and
break things" or if you're a white hat looking for some
street cred. Circuit benders, gamers, rave attendees,
microdosers, etc. are all properly classified as
psychonauts. Twinking is yet another form of it.<br>
<br>
Of course, it's irritating when the butthurttryhard just
wants to defeat the stupid boss to make progress in the game
and some twink keeps killin' 'em on the run to the boss. The
victim thinks it's cheating. But game theory and coevolution
tell other stories. Git Gud or Go Home. Do what thou wilt is
the whole of the Law.<br>

I was pretty sure glen was Tweaking us with Twitch and
Twink... very NLP if not actually poetic.<br>
