Only here really.
I’ve never really used gaming sites, went straight from printed press to forums. The adverts on those sites make my eyes bleed, plus I never care what they are saying anyway. I know what I like and will take a punt on a game if it looks interesting to me, some (potentially) paid review isn’t going to change my mind! I feel similarly about YouTubers.
GAF gives me all I need - news about some games coming out (spoiler free mostly), the odd link to a trailer and some industry discussion. Most shit is posted here at some point and it’s a good place for aggregation imo

twitter, reddit, discord, the other forum (they're always super fast on breaking news) and youtube.

What type of gaming news are you getting from Facebook?
edit: sorry for the double post.

News sites usually have their own Facebook pages but most of my news that are really up to date comes from Facebook groups. Like fan pages from Capcom games say a Resident Evil fan group. There’s also platform specific fan pages from Nintendo, Sony and Xbox.What type of gaming news are you getting from Facebook?

Oh, that makes sense! I use the equivalent of that but I guess on discord instead (there's tons of gaming communities on discord for every specific taste).

I used to visit n4g.com, now I visit Eurogamer occasionally. I have a surprise for folks visiting era for news: Hogwarts Legacy released few months ago.

Famiboards has decent Nintendo news if you can get through their hypocrisy which is arguably worse than Era. I don't go there anymore though, so mostly Gaf and reddit.

@IbizaPocholoDraugoth @adamsapple and @ManaByte carry this website on their backs when it comes to news.
They do post faster, but the website is a cesspoll

Everywhere I can. Gamerant, IGN, GameSpot, etc. A lot of lesser known sites too. Whatever a Google search can give you. Kotaku is a site I try to ignore and I ignored Waypoint (RIP). Resetera feels odd to me, also reminds me of New Era ball caps. The name doesn’t stick.

I check ResetEra in addition to this site. And it's amusing to see people that think this site is normal whereas those guys are weird. As far as I can tell, both sites are full of people convinced that it's their moral duty to tell everyone else exactly how to spend their money.

Neogaf only. Anything else would be pure blasphemia.

I roam the city streets with my notepad, stopping to eavesdrop and take notes whenever I hear people discussing videogames.
Used to be many sites with a rotation I had a decade or two ago but quality has dropped and so many randomly shill stuff now that it's down to just a few.
Now I'm down to just here, PCGamer site I can somewhat stomach and then various stuff Google Now (whatever the cards on mobile is called) and just searches and e-mails.
I miss the days of sites actually having new information daily alongside podcasts to listen to weekly or so that actually stayed on topic. Magazines prior to and throughout that where they had sections for different genres and hardware was neat especially when they weren't afraid to trash a product compared to now where almost everything feels like paid advertising.
