novaTopFlex Returns to novaTopFlex

After a fairly long, dark, and gloomy hiatus, the true novaTopFlex identity returns to the heavyweight technology industry, one step at a time. With every action taken by novaTopFlex is always an equal and opposite reaction from the system in question. novaTopFlex records videos to the system, and the system uploads the videos back to the Three Identities, and then the Three Identities decide which identity is most suited to a certain video stream, and then the final solution to each video […]
