    Hey, pretty cool to see my trilogy all achievements run (as I called it at the time) featured.

      The last required non-movement input for ep2 is +use on a button
      this button is only enabled when the relevant npc scripts are completed,
      the condition for these scripts to start is enabled by map logic that tracks the destruction of striders.

      "glitches are not part of the game"
      what are they a part of then?
      glitches come from the game's rules being followed exactly.
      If you can only see it as cheating, then you must have a perfect knowledge of what is intended behavior by game developers.
      Some things that look like glitches are actually hard-coded and intended by the developers to prevent bugs, like NPC's teleporting if you block their way with props.
