In Mario Kart: Double Dash, shadows in the environment do not follow any kind of lighting logic and appear to have been placed solely based on "vibe". This results in shadows being cast in nearly every possible direction at the same time.

A picture of Dry Dry Desert from Mario Kart: Double Dash with shadows marked. The shadows go in a variety of different directions at different points in the map despite there being only one light source.

I really wanna make a Superman game where you're completely invincible, but lose the moment you kill someone The push & pull of the game would center around trying to save as many people as possible, while holding back as to not accidentally hurt anyone

Saw Disclosure Day Felt like the target audience of that film was MAGA, but not in a sense of agreeing with them, but more in a sense of- <Here's a story you folk can easily digest, & we're gonna spend the whole film beating the idea into you that "empathy is good, actually">
