    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?

    Is this kind of hallucinagenic stream-of-consciousness a PoMo thing or a Po 
PoMo?  or more likely an (n*Po) Mo... ?

    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

        Ha! Y'all are pissin' me 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.

        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.
