I don’t follow any game news or anything. I like going through my queues on Steam though. Then I go to the recently released demos to see if anything looks interesting.

There were a few I tried after seeing reccommendations on Lemmy too.

I also used to browse indiedb.com a lot.

I look through the “Most Downloaded Torrents” lists on GazelleGames.net. You can browse by all sorts of metrics and you can look at “most downloaded torrents” of the Day/Week/Month/Etc.

The IRC channel is pretty dope too.

Some from discussion on here actually, but I think mostly from gamingonlinux.com, and steam telling me “this is a bit like the other stuff you like”.

The rogue extra option, is me hoping a game exists and searching the internet to try and find if it does. It’s quite common with old unique games, where you’re looking for “did anyone ever do a remake/sequel of…”

I buy games on sale a lot. Frequently, a game looks really neat but overpriced. I get a lot of games from bundles. And through those games, find others. Most recently, I found AfterImage from a bundle because im into metroidvanias. And looking that game up, read about other recommendations that are now on my wishlist.

For other games, Rock paper Shotgun is my preferred source. They give a lot of attention to indie games.

Nowadays, it’s through “bait-and-switch” rip vids made by Youtube channels like SiIvaGunner and TimmyTurnersGrandDad.
I also keep a casual eye towards new releases on itch.io.
