LumenTale takes a big swing at the creature-collector formula with deep combat systems, meaningful choices, and a world worth exploring. Unfortunately, some serious technical issues hold it back. My review on @destructoid: https://t.co/N14GHFBeYY

Y'all remember when Litten stood up? Yeah, that's why I don't trust Pokémon Starter designs until I see the final evolution, and why you shouldn't either. https://t.co/ZAIFWNxO5p

I reviewed @GalaxyGrovegame's Town to City, and I loved the sheer number of customization options the game gives you. It's a great entry into the city-builder genre—though not without flaws—and I'm excited to see its development through early access.. See my full review on Dtoid:

[Destructoid @destructoid]

If you love building towns your way, Town to City delivers—grid-less layouts, beautiful voxel visuals, tons of decor options, and plenty of charm. Minor performance hiccups, but nothing that kills the vibe.

Been keeping an eye on this one for a while! @WeatherFell's Windswept is adorable and oh so fun to play. If you're like me and love 2d platformers, I recommend you try out the demo during Steam Next Fest! https://t.co/uZqXcHS6vV

Remember going to midnight release parties for games? Me too. I miss those days. But also, I don't. Like, at all.

@LeaderGrev Dirty Projectors is a name I haven't heard in a *long* time, maybe since high school — brb, going down a rabbit hole of nostalgia

@marnesports It was great getting to work with you! Can't wait to see who you interview next😁

[Rachel Samples @rbsamples]

I'm moving over to @destructoid as the Editor in Chief there, and I'm so excited to join that talented team! Be on the lookout for what we've got planned — plenty of cool stuff on the way soon ;)

Last week was my final week as Managing Editor of Dot Esports. Dot was one of the first sites I joined in 2019 when I started my esports career. Out of everything from my time at Dot, though, I’m most proud of the team and all we accomplished in the last six years!

Digital media hasn't always been easy, but those will forever be some of the coolest and most passionate people I’ve worked with. Lots of learning lessons, but the writers and editors there made me a better ed, manager, and all-around person—and I couldn't be more grateful.

Today I forgot the numpad code for making an em dash and had to look it up—can I even call myself a writer anymore?

@GGSnavely I think you're underestimating impact of the environment in which TF2 released. There were other shooters it competed against in the same window. Campaign is by far the most consumable aspect for non-mech FPS fans, and with its praise, a more coordinated TF3 could do very well

[Rachel Samples @rbsamples]

@GGSnavely Make it campaign-first, MP-second. Problem solved
