Digital Foundry is basically the only journalistic channel that cares for all games in actual times
If you want something outside the box, go for Gameranx and GameXplain. To more closed subjects theres Nerrel, Gvmers and Nakey Jakey. If you want some fun and some trivia, DYKG, VideogameDunkey and Ssethtzeentach

You can get all of the non-biased video game news you need on Gaf, truthfully

That's what I do. It's a nice filter for all the shit that doesn't deserve any traffic and clicks, like most 'journalism' on games these days.

100%. You get some shit takes here on occasion, but that's because people are passionate about their games, and not doing it for clicks.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
On the subject of Destructoid. Does anybody have their interview with Perrin Kaplan saved?
It's the one where they ask her if the Wii was gonna be Nintendo's last console. It happened in september 2006.
I used to have it but I lost the external hard drive where I had it saved.

I'd recommend Noisy Pixel and Gematsu for Japanese focused gaming news (also, Automaton West).

Can't say I'm surprised. I abandoned that sinking ship when it got sold to Gamurs Group in 2022 and within a week the front page was littered with low effort list-bait articles. Used to be decent for news articles until it was sold, though I never bothered venturing to their "community" side because it became clear after one visit that was just as bad as Reddit and Kotaku rolled up into one.

You must live in the reality where GAF doesn't have clickbait threads. Or maybe you ignored Draugoth and thus can't see his threads.

It's been proven again and again that Niche Gamer steals its content from Gematsu, they can fuck off.

Honestly, you're on it.
I used to be big into Destructoid and its community back in the day, met a bunch of great people that I'm still in contact with 15ish+ years later. Gematsu is a pretty good one from what I've seen when I see it. But personally, I haven't frequented a game blog/site ever since the old Destructoid days, I just glance at Twitter and here. Haven't really needed anything else personally.

Thank you Three. Yeah that is the one going by the introduction. I can't see the interview though.

The update made me go from visiting them pretty often to deleting their shortcut in my browser. I hate it that much.

Yeah it isn't there. Tried using wayback machine to get it but the old page has a flash player which I assume was the video of the interview. The video source has probably been deleted sadly.
