What is that, cursive or something?

No, it's old Internet usage for "OWNED."

LOL. I never want to be so old that I can’t keep up with 20 year old slang terms.

Every generation of kids had its own slang.
“PWNS” is a joke typo of “owns” which means “i beat you really good” / “i can do whatever I want with you” / “i humiliated you”.

"pwned!" supposedly is derived from an excited gamer typing the word "owned!" after defeating an opponent.
Note that "o" is next to "p" on the keyboard.
It evolved to "pwn3d" in further iterations.
[Note that "e" is next to "3" on the keyboard.]
