beesmygod:beesmygod:i didn’t know what “twinking” was in videogames until last night: its making a low level character with high level weapons and then entering pvp for easy wins.anyway it lead me to a bloodborne gamefaq thread in which two guys screech at each other over being twinks and i thought i was going to die happy pride “Twink” as a term for certain gay men predates the video game term but the game term has been around since before MMOs even existed (it’s been noted as having been used in many MUDs in fact), although MMOs like Everquest, Ultima Online, and of course, World of Warcraft, popularized it.Nowadays in games that don’t tend to have gear, this is also referred to as “smurfing” and basically just means a veteran player starting a new account entirely, which resets their MMR and ends up putting highly skilled players in with other new or low skill players until the game has enough data to correctly place them. -- source link
