The mood took hold of me and I began trawling through a few of the lists of names of bygone chess players and forum combatants. Like tombstones their profi ...[text shortened]... l and I sighed deeply and thought to myself: fuk this for laugh, and fuk them, losers.

I think I had in mind our personal history. As long as we remember what we did and why, we can look forward to a better future. πŸ™‚

I know you're trying to prove a point to me by using 'cryptomnesia' in a sentence, but it is certainly not every day language we use.
