Train — The Rotating Molester

Players wear VR headsets that remove the train's rotation from their visual field. To an outsider, they look like people stumbling in slow circles. But to the player, they are walking a straight line through a virtual forest. The high score goes to the person whose physical body rotates the farthest from their starting point. The current record is 47 full rotations in 10 minutes.

But the residents don't care. They have formed their own governance, the , complete with its own time zone: RST (Rotational Standard Time), where an hour is measured by 60 full rotations of the chassis.

Players wear VR headsets that remove the train's

In the pantheon of modern nomadic lifestyles—van life, skoolie living, yacht punting—one emerging subculture is so niche, so mechanically obsessive, and so socially perplexing that it has only recently begun to surface from the depths of railfan forums and fringe urban exploration blogs.
