Paradise Killer was so good that now I'm considering buying Promise Mascot Agency because I want more of this dev team's flavor of Weird.

I met a childhood hero of mine today. Tim Jacobus is one of the major influences who inspired my love for making art. I remember being beyond wowed by the Goosebumps covers. I stared at the covers and tried to draw them, just as much as I spent time reading the books themselves. (If not more so)

Crimon Acid might be one of the coolest characters I've seen in my life. Has to hang out in the sewers because she wants peace and quiet from a life of being too sexy with her cool goat head and then she gives you a cult worshipper's eye and it's been turned into a CD. She ruled.

You don't understand...there were statues made out of cool purple stones in the shapes of goat skulls and human hands everywhere...

Was most of the game 1st person parkour to find all the various shiny objects? Yes.
Was the game stylish as hell while I was collecting shiny objects? Also yes.

A three panel comic of Mr. Dark from the Rayman series with his hat removed and showing his true self to Rayman, or at least my headcanon of that idea. Mr. Dark's face is noseless, kinda skull-like, and black, with rainbow reflections on his face and long, flowing hair. The first panel has him triumphantly saying "Tada..." which Rayman then replies "Is that what you really look like?!" 

This response frustrates Mr. Dark, and the second panel shows him slightly annoyed as he responds "You sound... disappointed. Were you expecting some sort of nightmarish monster instead of the scarred visage of The First Hero of the Glade?". Rayman, off screen, says "No...I just wasn't expecting you to look this UGLY..." 

This causes Mr. Dark to fly into a rage in the third panel, with his hair resembling smoke as he immolates himself and yells "IRRITATING SNOT-NOSED LITTLE BRAT" while Rayman sneers at his face, completely unaffected by Mr. Dark's scary outburst. Despite the flames and the teeth, a rainbow is still reflected in his hair.

Mr. Dark tries to establish some common ground with Rayman by revealing his true form, immediately regrets it. (aka "here is my HC for what Mr. Dark looks like underneath his cool hat")

LRP: We should bring back Kurokyura and give Wario a fun lackey who is a vampire that summons bats by flipping people off.
Actually we should bring back ANYTHING from Mario Land 2 while we're at it...

In the Nintendo Kลshiki Guidebook, Kurokyura is kind of Wario's right hand man, helping him out.

Haha, you're not the first one to say that Mr. Dark is looking quite handsome in this.
Rayman's just being a little snot.

Semi-sequel to this.

I kinda want him to look like an extinguished fire - a dying ember - compared to Rayman being a little healthy ray of sunshine.

It's a fine balancing act to go "he immediately loses all of his aura once the hat comes off" while also making a design that's still kinda cool. I once went Full Disappointment by just making him another Rayman guy but unfortunately it was a little TOO lame...

05.03.2026 22:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Giving Mr. Dark an actual physical face that he hides was a real challenge because...nothing is going to look better than Mr. Dark's actual design.

And, because of that, I always liked the idea that a Mr. Dark face reveal isn't an ideal situation for anyone and vaguely disappointing.

I'm so, so happy the Dragon Quest Builders team got to finally make a Dragon Quest Builders game where the soundtrack isn't composed of the same five stale farty MIDIs that are used in every other PS4-era Dragon Quest game. Now I don't have to mute the audio when I build my town!

When assessing #kakapo chicks we weigh them, check their respiration rate and hydration. We usually do this twice in the first four days (this chick is less than a day old), and then every 5-7 days. The frequency of checks depends on their genetic priority. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

I always wanted to play Klonoa back in the day, but alas, the game democracy was not on my side and all I had was the demo disc.

We did have Croc, and that was my jam! Never finished it, though. Languae barriers.
