      To explain further: the launcher was programmed to go through the files of your PC and send then to epic without you knowing. Only after being called out tim Sweeney said on reddit: " we know of this behavior but didn't see it as an issue until now where it became common knowledge so we will change it" because they didn't want to use steam API so they grabbed everyone's data right from the drive without permission.
      Then saying Steam is a monopoly and want fairer prices for devs and so on...while then going and buying exclusive rights to shift the majority to their platform. Then completely disregarding the features steam offers and develops for everyone for free to use like proton (which let's devs support Linux without needing to put development time in it themselves), Workshop and cloud saves. But offering no features of themselves. And so on. Then epic bought easy anti cheat, and the first thing they did was stop Linux development.
      Epic is a steaming pile of corporate lies and deception.

    "Bridge" - verb - to _bridge_ two or more disconnected sides of a problem or idea. A _bridge_ can also be a musical device to connect the beginning to the end of a piece of music. The common theme is here is gravity - the bridge is that you can manipulate the orientation of gravity to the platform.

    I've been playing this game off and on for about a decade. At first I'd play maybe 5-10 minutes here and there, every month or so. But it gets way harder the deeper you go in. I've gotten to the point where in order to progress, I have to sit down and replay my way up to where I'm so I basically know what I'm doing again. I've gotten past where I can play casually, and have to really put some brain effort in to progress... so I haven't played in about 4 years.
    I'm not a "puzzle game" guy. I'm a strategy or rpg game guy, so puzzles bore me pretty quickly, hence why I'd play this for a few mintues here or there, when I had like 10 minutes to kill and nothing else to do. But this game is just intriguing enough I kept coming back at it.
