Hell yeah it is

i think its satire if it makes you choose from 3 upgrades at the end of a round

The silhouette is dithered so that won't be contributing to alpha overdraw, but it still is stacking more meshes on top of each other.
Camera isn't meant to get this close to Luigi so this doesn't matter anyway, no need to optimise this edge case

Probably alpha overdraw when rendering the water surface + rain + luigi. Luigi must be alpha blended instead of clipped for whatever reason. Also could be that Luigi's shader is weirdly complex, I notice it has inconsistent thickness so it might be UV parallax on a quad instead of 3D mesh.

Thank you Leah!!!!💕

oh and all the rugrats games are either awful/amazing depending on your perspective

I'll give a shoutout to @duncancorrigan.bsky.social 's 'Moving On' which I think is really special

Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside is an all-time favourite of mine

Boku no Natsuyasumi series are ultimate hidden gems

thank you for the link!!! I'll dive into this more! Wish I could take your class again now that my prefrontal cortex is developed

yeah when people go on about how they think production is overrated or needless bureaucracy, it just sounds like they've never finished a project before
