The gaming community on Substack is growing fast, and I’ve been blown away by the support I’ve received. So I wanted to give back by spotlighting a few Substacks worthy of your subscription.
Welcome Katie and thanks for sharing! Great group of people to start with and growing daily. Let’s hope as we grow Substack figures out we need the gaming category!
You're always creating great content, and you're creating a cozy gaming community. Your discord: https://discord.gg/S3XPQHX6 has been a very chill spot to just talk and share gaming stuff.
You had me at “almost 40-year-old dad…with a 7-year-old son with autism”. Those are almost precisely my circumstances, except I’m exactly 40 years old, and I have an 8-year-old son. Subscribed! 😂
But yeah, due to the ever pressing trials of dad life, I find it tough to make the same time for RPGs as I used to in the PS1 days. Thanks for the newsletter recommendations!
Ha! Welcome Jamie, happy to have you here. Yea, I try to share the time it takes to complete a game with every review because I unfortunately don’t have the time to get into larger rpgs.
Thanks for all the recommendations. I already follow Margot and Oya (both are awesome), and now I know who I need to follow next. I haven't been on Substack for long, so I'm trying to figure out what to write about. I've been leaning towards writing game reviews and writing about my experiences with specific games. It's always nice to find a great gaming community and look forward to reading more from everyone.
You're welcome Taylor! Well, you have many things you can write about and reviews and your personal experience are always something people will resonate with. Let me know if you need any help!
This is really sweet, Sey, thank you so much for the mention! The community that you cultivated on the Good Game Lobby Discord has been amazing, I hope it grows even bigger and I'm glad I could join despite the ban, hah! It's always a pleasure to chat with gamers of all types!
And you can expect a thorough review on Expedition 33, I have so much to say about it and I'm not even done with it yet!
I loved this, such supportive and in-depth commentary. I likewise, was shocked at the lack of a gaming tag!

As an early career writer and game dev, I am dipping my toes in the Substack waters, so this was super useful.

May your GIF-based thumbnails reach the farthest corners of Substack!! (I love them, and will always know the post is from you!)
Ha thanks! Appreciate you and love your work. The second I realized I can make them GIFs I knew it was no turning back.

A thousand thanks friend. May we both be bountiful in the riches of subscriptions haha
Have mercy, I can't keep subscribing to so many amazing writers T^T
(please don't have any mercy and keep them coming)
Ha! It's tough to subscribe to so many, but sometimes its enough just to follow and share when you can. Thanks for your support Yukisia!

You make the community fun and I appreciate you in the chat during the live streams as we covered our eyes hiding from the horror games. haha
Looking forward to the review!
Sooo many horror games... 🥲
