(body)modding

game-making, game-breaking

banging against virtual walls with virtual fists

with enough modification

this game/body/world can be something else

add sex to Skyrim

put Master Chief in Smash

program yourself a new shape, too

re-skin, update,

rewriting code is the easiest form of sex reassignment surgery

and the Nexus Mods clinic is free
