basic alternative

Kinda like a basic bitch but with an alternative aesthetic (emo, goth, ect). They usually think they're unique and interesting even though they're stereotypicaly alternative. They get their clothes in high street shops like hot topic.

tamquam alter idem

A super sweet fricking quote from one Ronan lynch and one Adam Parrish which likely made a fuck ton of people cry.
Dude 1: dude, it’s tamquam alter idem
Dude 2: dude, same ❤️

alternet

A global system implemented by 2050 replacing the old data-exchange system of the turn of the century known as the "internet" (aka deadnet). The hierarchical structure of the original system was the inherent security flaw that led to its distrust and collapse during the later global corporate revolts.

The Alternet is a decentralized, peer-to-peer internet used for political, economic and social activities across the planet. It was implemented to serve as the stateless conduit for a new multimetric politico-economy and social forum to ensure direct democracy and human egalitarianism. The system is completely wireless unlike the strict hierarchical structure of old that sent data across decaying copper-wire infrastructure.

Each device directly participating in this system is called an io. Data spreads in waves across the entire system so that each io can individually process collective user input locally rather than trusting a remote server owned by another to handle and dissipate bitstreams. Secure information is first encoded before similarly waving across random paths of the web. Instead of a centralized system of ip addressing, each new io is automatically added to the existing collectively shared indexing system without the need for manual assignment. Every person has the constitutional right to own and access an io since it is the means by which one's democratic participation is shared. Linked to each io may be several local devices such as homepliances and wallfaces.
Without the alternet, we'd still be doomed to drudge meaninglessly and powerlessly through life in the ancient capito-socialist serfdom of debt peonage and resource waste!

alternate nickname

noun a pornographic pseudo-name in disguise

---

This is likely a term made up by Microsoft Gaming Studios. When in edit mode for an Xbox Live gamer profile, the input description provided for the 'Name' entry is as follows:

"Enter your name or alternate nickname."

Up to this point, most people in the world have had their verbal identification needs met by both nicknames and names. (Those two areas are pretty robust) However, there are really only two major types of individuals that would need yet another freaking word to call themselves:

Super heroes or Pornstars (non-exclusive)

Now we know that comic book people can be a bit enthusiastic at times, but even DC Comics's and Marvel's count combined is under 13,000. If we are generous and assume then there are 50,000 heroes overall, that is only 0.000000000000002777% of the world's population. That is a really un-super amount!

Estimates for how many woman and men have been filmed in an explicit (sexy-time) manner is estimated to be at 2-3% in the U.S., perhaps globally around 1%. That is ~3,601,008,300,000% the amount of super heroes allegedly in existence.

(cont in example)
(cont. from definition)

Microsoft's interactive user engagement program has taken things to the next level now with the Kinect these days... capable of generating extraordinary 3-D mappings of the gamer. Requiring you lift your arms along with the recommendation to avoid baggy clothing for improved safety "was no accident". Working with industry leaders to promote the use of yoga pants and giant rubber balls as legitimate exercise components, Microsoft has attracted the exact demographic and intelligence range of current porn stars and now perhaps future (they track weight loss) porn stars.

"Optimize every workout with immediate feedback on your form, power and heart rate with the all new Kinect, featuring Muscle Mapping, Power Gauge, and Pulse. Plus, feed your motivation with social challenges."

In other words, the exact feedback an attention loving physically engaged woman desires! One only has to go see Microsoft's adverts for the Xbox Fitness: sports bras, yoga pants, mappings of your movement and joints over time, heart rate, etc. Coming soon.

With enough voice data to collaboratively identify anyone after just 8 seconds of speech, the ability to program mapping metrics which may identify core/component muscle strength, 3-D models of said pornographic stars, and alternate nickname... the future of gaming lies in scale-accurate physical engagement components.
