They don't jump like they used to

You know that triangle with the missing square paradox? How did that exact same geometry in the middle of the level magically not line up no matter how precise I was just by moving it to the corner?

I never got into Little Big Planet like the fake PlayStation fan I am, but people also insisted that Cole McGrath was "slippery", and he's tighter than a Chinese Finger Trap compared to the UE5 character. Even when I succeed in the jump I set up the character walks off like it's hot sidewalk to grass.

Also is the pickup sound a higher pitched version of the old Windows notification sound or do I need a professional wax removal?
