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

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.
