This was a pretty long read and I didn't really get much from it. The format of a million tweets is awful.

tl;dr it patches the executable by having a shim dll that does the patch when it gets loaded. Pretty common in the game modding community. It finds where it needs to patch by scanning for a byte pattern.

What does the actual patch do? No idea, that's what I was waiting for and I never got it. I was expecting a disassembly comparison of the before and after.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
