Remap is what Waypoint turned into. Waypoint was a video game vertical/section through Vice Media. It was Patrick Klepek, Rob Zacny, Ricardo Contreras, Renata Price, and Austin Walker at one point. Klepek, Zacny, & Contreras started Remap to carry on their brand of video game analysis (very thoughtful, far-left leaning, and often times focusing on smaller and older games).

Between this and Remap continuing with essays & journalism... I am one happy dude. I'm hopeful that there is still a space for writing in the video game area.

It seems to me to be a massive ad $ play. The place is flooded with brands and celebrities. Plus, Adam Mosseri stated that Threads isn’t trying for hard news or anything “angry.” It’s just a soft, bland spot to soak up more $$$

Check out Inoreader (plus Reeder (iOS) for an A+ phone/mac/iPad experience). I've found Inoreader to be by far the best RSS reader, and I've been using it for years now. It's UI is very slick and unassuming, but has a ridiculous number of settings and preferences if you really want to dial in your experience
