I’ve been seeing a bunch of videos in my feed about how IGN is REFUSING to review the Lollipop Chainsaw remaster because they HATE Juliet Starling for being too SEXY

I got curious and tried to see if IGN had actually officially come out and declared they would not review Lollipop Chainsaw Repop because they had no problem reviewing the original in 2012. Nope, they had in fact been covering the remaster ever since it had been announced, though there is no review as of now at least.

All the other results in my Google search were predictably outrage slop videos and links to posts on the Asmongold visible-disgust and Critical Drinker kombucha-disgust subreddits. I clicked on one of the posts and among the hivemind of the most room temperature IQ chud redditors you can imagine abuzz about how horrible and woke IGN was being was one lone commenter asking if IGN had actually officially stated they would not review the game.

A guy responded that while it can’t be proven IGN hasn’t reviewed the game yet because they object to its content, it’s probably the most likely reason morshupls

I fucking hate all of these people, the cynical right-wing agitators making up shit for views and the stupid gamer morons who lap it up because of vibes

    Me too! So many hours as a kid spent exploring the dungeons using the light spell to turn everything cyan. It’s been a trip playing it as an adult. I actually know which stats to boost on character creation instead of “maximum strength because I am a big tough guy and I don’t know what dexterity means.”

        You’re right no numbers, just gotta guesstimate with your eyeballs. Perfect for a kid with zero idea what the fuck they are doing lmao

        I couldn’t get it to work exactly how I wanted it (so opted for a version i run from my drive) but here’s a browser version if you want to take a quick step down memory lane: https://archive.org/details/win3_CasWin1

        DM me and later on when I get home I’ll send you a link to the emulator version I’m using that you can have on your hard drive that runs via a single batch file, it has both parts 1 and 2
