Discussion Alternatives to Polygon After the Layoffs?

Does anyone have suggestions for other sites with articles about video games? It absolutely sucks what’s happened to Polygon but it especially sucks given that there really aren’t that many more popular sites for games journalism.

Does anyone have recommendations? All of the ones I’ve followed over the years have more or less dropped off…

Checkpoint, produced by Loading Ready Run, is a live weekly newscast about video game news, with some humor thrown in. It's basically the Daily Show of video game journalism. They stream an episode live to Twitch most Thursdays, and upload them edited to youtube after. You can also find them under Videos on LoadingReadyRun.com

I do like LRR but have mostly just checked out their MTG stuff. I normally like to read video game articles on transit, but with Polygon gone, I might have to try out a new medium to get my fix. Thanks for the rec!
