I don't know how and why, but my home timeline took a severe hit in posts relatives to gaming and generally speaking videogames.

Alex

I went looking for someone interesting in the #gaming and #videogames (and #SteamDeck and #PS5) hashtags but 90% of the posts seems coming from automated profiles, which isn't really good.

SO! If you have any human profile suggestions for the topics above, ping them here, let's start a Gaming Follow Friday thread, that could work too for Federating other servers

Boosts appreciated, thanks!

Oh and feel free to suggest an alternative to the hashtag GamingFollowFriday, I suck at these things.

@alex I also need ̶f̶r̶e̶s̶h̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶ new gamers in my feed, so I’ll be following this post.

@GrahamDowns @alex

Thanks!

Guilty as charged haha. I mostly play and talk about Street Fighter 6 right now, but also Soulslikes, RPG, and Shooters. I'm a PC player now but grew up on consoles exclusively.

@afreytes @yon @alexr_tk @Dio_Senrab @Varyag @monorail @ami_angelwings also come to mind for Gaming accounts.

The whole FGC.Network server is good for that. FGC is Fighting Game Community after all

I'll edit this post as i think of others

If you like the genre at all the FGC hashtag is a good one too since it's basically a subset of the gaming tag

kiki

@alex hm, I usually don't tag my gaming posts, maybe I should change that.

What games/genre do you usually play?

@alex@gamerstavern.online

Well, we (plural system) talk a lot about whatever video games we've been playing on this account.

But most of the games we discuss are those that the average gamer has never heard of and probably wouldn't give a fair shake due to their obscurity or the sort of mentality needed to fully appreciate those games lol

Alex

@Kiki anything except horror/jumpscare games, those are definitely not up my alley

I've also retired from all the competitive games after I took an arrow in my knee (and started losing my reflexes)

Kotking

@alex I do tag my rare posts but mostly under game name
So like me streaming on owncast #hades2 or my big investment into #arknights and Arknights #endfield .
Never thought using #gaming hashtag on top of that.

But yeah if anyone curious about a gacha game that is tower defence but interesting that holds grasp on me for 4+ years then I will gladly talk about Arknights.
Or you can watch me spending 3 hours a few days a week playing games and streaming on my owncast server https://show.kotking.noho.st/

Double AA

@alex Maybe someone took all the gamers and stuck them all in a box together. Kinda like a tavern? Just speculation…

JaK

@alex are wannabe GameDev included?

Ami Angelwings

@NaClKnight @GrahamDowns @alex @afreytes @yon @alexr_tk @Dio_Senrab @monorail @Varyag yeah check out my very very very many videogame related polls xD you can find a lot of them under #poll

IrgndSonDepp

@alex I found a bunch of people via @ShareYourGames and the #ShareYourGames tag.

Jake in the desert

@alex hi! I post a lot about gaming, I saw your post via a boost by @irgndsondepp - he was the one I was going to recommend with Steam Deck stuff, also @ishambard, @Aywren, @rootcompute, @dsmoore, @johnny, @joshuagrady, @thesofafox, @retrosponge, @chrisoliver.

@NaClKnight @GrahamDowns @alex

Guilty as charged
Thanks for the mention @Varyag

I could be more active admittedly as I have a near bottomless font of retro games I could talk about.

Especially since my Steam Deck has become my go-to Emulation machine... Poor bastard. I originally got it to play Steam Games...

Arcadia

@alex Just finished TR-49 on Steam, a weird little mystery, puzzle game that only took a few hours. Highly recommend! #tr-49
