You are now Higgs Boson

Another deliberate tell that's in this example that I've seen a couple of times before is that the video will have a title that pretty much outright say "this is fake", but it's worded in such a way that it could be mistaken for hyperbolic clickbait.

Like the title of this video is literally "this horror game doesn't exist", yet it still got me for the first maybe minute or so cus I'm so used to youtube videos having hyperbolic, blatantly incorrect titles.

I was thinking about it cus of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ngS1fgoYk) which to spoil things is just a stealth advertisement for a solo TTRPG (which I did decide to check out so, mission sucess?)

One deliberate tell I've seen in a couple of unfiction videos is that by the end of it, they'll have end credits that's deliberately styled after movie credits, which is fairly unusual for for video essays. They might have credits, but usually in the form of end cards with a different visual language.

I find this kinda fascinating cus they dont outright say "this is fake", but by styling it after something known to be fiction ,they can plant that seed without outright stating it.

Obviously I don't wanna overhype it, when something is a cult classic it's usually because it is kind of wonky in a way that a lot of people aren't going to vibe with, but which will hit a small number of people like a lighting bolt.
There are a lot of ways to definite a cult classic, but Infinity Train definitely fit the definition where most people overlook it, but there's a small but passionate contingent of absolute weirdos (hi) who's like "did no one notice that literally the best work of fiction of all time was released like ten years ago?"
Infinity Train is such a wild show, they made one of the best western animated shows of all time, a story that could go toe-to-toe with just about any hugo-award winning science fiction novel you care to mention, and basically no one seem to have noticed or cared all that much.

Come think of it, I feel like the cosmology of Infinity Train is the opposite to "running secularism on a protestant kernel", it's like the titular train is a machine for bootstrapping a christian idea of morality into what seem to primarily be an absurdist, secular universe.

There's a lot that could be written about how Infinity Train approaches topics like morality and existentialism, and I feel like it only ever got a chance to scratch the surface.

Cheating in online games is NOT a Linux problem, but a developer problem, and the way those developers are side-stepping the issue in security patching their games when exploits allows someone to inject code into the games.

Just look at Call of Duty having RCE Exploit that allows cheaters to ban other players from the game in online play that the developers claimed "There is no RCE exploit" after being told about the RCE exploit in their game that allows someone to remote execute Player Bans on any player they so choose. This is developer incompetence, ignoring a huge security vulnerability in their games, and brushing it off as nothing.
