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 
and Critical Drinker 
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 
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
Exactly! It's not part of the hype cycle. You said it perfectly. It's on my time and at my discretion. Exactly the way I want to spend my leisure time.
totes! what are you playing lately? @[email protected] convinced me to try tactics ogre since i like stragedy games
Been playing an old Roguelite called Castle of the Winds from 1989, it's got many of the classic Roguelike features you might expect but it's a bit more casual friendly with mouse support, a save/reload feature and tile based graphics instead of ASCII. It's a lot of fun.
I LOVE THAY GAME OMG
I spent so many dumb hours in that game when I was tiny, the tiles were pretty great. I can still remember the layout of the first floor with the single dumb kobold lol.
I think I was finally about to beat it at one point and nicked the second game but I dont remember that as much.
I remember being endlessly fascinated with the textures of the money and all the different armours, and I love paper doll games because of this game. The colours were magnificent too lol, that shade of cyan for the floors is burned into my brain.
Edit: I never did figure out how the church spells worked in the town
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."
haha oh man the character creation was so win 3.11core i loved the sliders - there weren't even numbers, right?
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
lol yep i set them randomly each time! totally clueless, oh man i'll check the link out tonight, thanks!
oh, sick, would love that, would work with Wine you think?
