    Gaming.

    There is no way that this obvious secret wasn’t discovered until now. If there are as many gamers as you show, it would’ve been found within 2 weeks maximum. Looking at you, ready player one. Cringy McCringeCringe can’t be the only one who found these obvious secrets after literal years.

      THIS. And the trope is always about some ultra popular game that the entire world is obsessed with, too.

      I mean yeah it might even be like that if knowing the game was the only method of discovery but, pah! Hardcore fans? They do RAM dumps and decompiles and all kinds of wacky analysis to find obscure stuff, and then they post it in the “trivia” section on a wiki and the thing hasn’t even been out a year! Lol

      I hate to say it but the pilot to Stargate Atlantis almost had me not even watch the series

      so okay, this game somehow accurately maps an alien reactor technology down to each individual particle and instead of running several billion iterations of procedural testing they make it into an MMO that paradoxically only ever has 1 player and they solve the equation by walking into the correct room…

      “Drive backwards on the track”

      That’s literally the first thing people do in racing videogames. That would have been SECONDS

      Yes it was way better than watching him play Atari Joust for 30 minutes but still!
