Progress bars spread across the screen like maps. Each bar is a promise: 12% — Loading textures for “Starfall Resonance”; 47% — Applying balance patch to “Coyote Hollow” (snipers cost 10% less stamina now; wolves are slightly less resentful); 89% — Recompiling shaders for “Luminaria Drift”. GetHub flings binaries into the machine’s belly and then waits, patient as tide.
