though I feel like a lot of folks are going to see this and instead go "wow they didn't even think of this before, what idiots, lazy devs lmao"

This. Oh so much this. We have hundreds of costumes at this point and these things are so easy to miss! Once you do catch them even getting them in a backlog can be error prone- plus when you weigh it up against other things we're frantically working on little fixes tend to get forgotten about and then suddenly oh god it's been two months and we haven't fixed the pineapple in team games what sort of useless development team are we oh someone send help.
