Blackgate.com - the remnants of Black Gate magazine, which was published from 2000-2011 and then continued in digital form since. It focuses primarily on vintage literary fantasy, though occasionally the an article will be published in films or new fiction. Of particular note to nerds is the Cinema of Swords column by Lawrence Ellsworth, who fantasy fans may be familiar with as the Principal Narrative Designer for Baldur's Gate 3. I'm not so immersed in the fantasy world that I understand most of what is discussed on the blog, but it is a nice taste of the old Internet, one which might resonate with other fediverse users.

Yucata.de - online boardgames

I usually play 1 move a day in 7-8 boardgames with people all around the world.

Https://Rockpapershotgun.com is one of the few sites I still visit on a frequent basis. I don't care about half of their reviews. Their writing and personality is just entertaining and the commenters are fun.

As a developer, I love https://js13kgames.com/. These masters of JS make games that are under 13k, smaller than font file!

This blog has been my late night addiction. https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/ reviews old PC RPG games like Wizardry and Eye of the Beholder. Theyve been doing it for more than a decade.

Js13k is such a cool find! The top few games are really good for what they claim to be what de hec

Have you noticed any changes since ign acquired RPS and laid off some of the staff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yes absolutely. There's a slight shift of tone in regards to journalism. A lot of takes definitely come off more neutered as to not offend a company or lose favor. It's unfortunate. But then again, I'm not interested in ragebait so it wasn't a big thing for me. And other sites (and social media) do it already.

They still go into fresh perspectives. Random things like are audio logs a good mechanism for storytelling. Or the best item in Skyrim (which is filled with such cheeky humor to invite friendly arguments)

And some of the newer hires still haven't found their RPS voice. They're trying "too hard" to be zany.

I am still looking for a gaming blog that takes gaming mildly seriously. Ones willing to have both AAA games and incredibly tiny indie games on the front page, sprinkled with opinionated posts about their favorite book covers in RPGs, or if highlighted interactive items is good UI.

I read arstechnica.com every day for general tech news.

I read talkingpointsmemo.com most days. It's focused on US politics, but I like that it gives a little more context coming from a perspective fairly similar to mine.

Facebook.com

It's so great, you guys.. You would love it.

Why do we need another social media site when Myspace exists?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Why Myspace when Enternexus is a thing? One is enough!

https://alliancespaceguard.com, pretty much daily. Can't wait for it to release.

Wow.. I'm looking and post to slashdot.org, daily, since 1998 or something...

Now this, this is a website.

I was about to agree, but they fucking disabled reader mode! No dark mode is no bueno for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Reader mode works fine for me
