Reddit was my go-to. I hope gaming communities on Lemmy will grow.
Yeah, like most people in this thread I use RSS:
There's also YouTube channels like ManlyBadassHero, SplatterCatGaming and AlphaBetaGamer that are great at showcasing more niche games.
I use to browse Reddit subs... Now I hope Lemmy fills this hole.
YouTube, mostly
Various channels and whatever the algorithm feeds me
RSS and different websites. The fastest, greatest way. Stops you from joining the possible drama by commenting as well :D
For general gaming news, I go with Jeff Gerstmann and the Nextlander guys. For more technically focused stuff, it's hard to beat Digital Foundry and their methodology of focusing on the user experience over benchmark numbers. I think all of those folks have been around long enough to be above chasing the hype cycle for traffic and they all have context from decades of being in the industry. Rich from DF started working in games media in 1990 and Jeff started working at Gamespot in 1996. It's hard to find other folks who have been in the industry that long and still working in games coverage.
Jesse does (mostly daily) 5 minute gaming news. The news that may or may not be 5 mines.
