here's a small plug for all the new #TwitterMigration people - if you're interested in #GamingNews but can't find any good gaming outlets on the fediverse just yet - i made a bot that posts all the news articles automatically, so you can still be up-to-date with all the #VideoGames stuff and #Gaming news :) So if you're interested in that - go follow @GamingNews

but also give @GIbiz, @deckverse, @steamdeckhq, @boilingsteam, and @gamingonlinux a follow :)
