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

The capital G Gamers problem is that they want their medium to be viewed as respectable art, which I don't even object to, I think games are art, but at the same time, they want all and every coverage, ever, to be product review akin to a car. It is simoultaneously high respectable art and a commodity to be used up - see here also the weird dollars per hour fun calculation that I've never seen with books or movies despite those being expensive.

Hot (fake) take: dollar per hour of fun calculations were invented to make it clear what a good deal Kerbal Space Program 1 is.

Where do you draw the line at finishing KSP?

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Finishing a game of KSP? When I can't load my ground bases without them exploding from the kraken or crashing the game.

Finishing KSP: not possible

When you’ve gone above your pain tolerance for docking in orbit and refuse to use MechJeb.

Maybe someday I’ll expand past Minmus…

Docking is easy especially if both ships are under control. Just control each ship from the relevant docking port, target the other ship's relevant docking port, and go forward. Swap between the two craft as needed.
