Ozynertias

I met a Nerter from an antique land,
Who said—“Two of hearts and ace of spades
Stand in the centre.... Near them, on the green,
Half sunk a shattered username lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, on their profile pic,
Tell that the player well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless cards,
The hand that out-Nerted them, and the Nertgasm that led;
And on their Steam profile, these words appear:
My name is Ozynertias, King of Nerts;
Look at me Nert, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Nerts-cuck, boundless and bare
The lone and level Nerts stretch far away."
