Twitter is a platform that I've just never been able to get into for some reason. I've activated and then promptly deactivated my account several times over the last few years. What will happen is that I suddenly feel like being plugged into the immediacy of Twitter's swirling world of to-the-minute news and insider opinions, but then after I get my account going again and start adding accounts to follow I quickly lose interest. I'll be scrolling through my feed, and the signal-to-noise ratio just feels too low. Like I'm hunting around for interesting or informative Tweets to no avail, and then I end up just relying on other sites (like this one) to highlight the more pertinent or important Tweets as they come up.

So here I am, for whatever reason, ready to give Twitter another chance. I thought that maybe this time it would help to lean on ERA as a curator. I'm looking for worthwhile gaming-related Twitter accounts to follow.

Below are some examples of things I'm interested in:
  • Game devs who are responsive to their followers and/or frequently share updates/insights for the games they're working on
  • Games journalists who share interesting content rather than just external links to their published works
  • Artists who create and share (or sell) gaming-related fan-art, music, apparel, etc.
  • Accounts that track hot gaming rumors, news, or sales
  • Gaming enthusiasts who have interesting takes, critiques, long-form analysis, or video content to share
  • Cool retro gaming-related accounts that serve as an aggregate for retro news, artwork, etc.

This thread was borne from me asking for personal recommendations, but hopefully many others will also stumble upon Twitter pages that they end up enjoying by reading through.

Wario64 is real good for game deals.

Scrubquotes is a must if you like fighting games.
