It's A PNG, I Swear!

The eternal standoff between developers and image formats. You tell the client "It's a PNG with transparency!" but the browser renders it with a white background anyway because you actually saved it as a JPG. The client's trust is gone forever, just like those transparent pixels you promised. Next time, maybe check the file extension before making promises your image format can't keep.

Glass Gives Me Nightmares

The eternal struggle of graphics programming in six panels. Anyone who's dealt with transparency knows it's not just a technical challenge—it's psychological warfare. Alpha blending, z-buffering, sorting issues... one minute everything renders perfectly, the next your UI is showing through walls or your water texture looks like a portal to another dimension. And don't get me started on glass shaders. The number of times I've stared at a screen at 3 AM wondering why my transparent objects are rendering in front of opaque ones is frankly traumatic. Whoever said "just make it see-through" clearly never had to implement it.
