Hello all,
We're looking for suggestions for other bots for gaming / gadget news and content. Bonus points if it's content produced by a Facepuncher.
Has to be in RSS format.
I've made the following changes;
- Added Ars Technica Gaming and Gadget feeds. Icons to follow.
- Altered stickying of threads, they will be stuck for 6 hours after posting for the most part. Some of the FP feeds (Rust, other games being produced by FP) will be stuck for a day.
- Altered how many articles some of the bots can grab at one time, will likely require ongoing balance
DSOGaming seems like a nice alternative to PCGamer

We're not really looking to replace anything, just add to it.
Dolphin development blogs? GOG bot?
Edit: I presume Arstechnica will get its own icons in time?

I stopped reading RPS after they participated in that dumb "Gamers are dead" debacle a few years ago. I'm not adding them purely because they pander to that dumb shit
PCSX2 (not sure if its still update or if it even exists, actually) and Dolphin update bots would be nice. But my heart has a Swastika shaped hole in it that can only possibly be filled by a Dailystormer bot.

How big do the icons have to be?
I'm thinking IndieDB would be a nice addition, what with it being a sister site to ModDB.

I second Dolphin blogs, they're always so interesting.

Do you want more icons?

I don't see anything else in the thread, I made icons for whatever was requested.

I just saw the IndieDB request, I quickly made some matching ModDB and IndieDB icons.

Needs an outline to be consistent with the other icons.

[/QUOTE]
Exactly my point :v:
[QUOTE=Loadingue;52152107]Needs an outline to be consistent with the other icons.[/QUOTE]
Tbh I'd rather the existing icons be reworked than have a border added to them. These look a lot more modern.

It's like comparing having a border around an avatar or not
My main reason for doing this is it gives a clear definition around the element, with avatars this usually works out since we place them on a gradient
is there anything we can do to the GOG bot that stops it posting the usual splash and instead having a chunk of text from the article when you click the the thread on FP?

Then why are we adding arstechnica then
Silicon Era
Most of the best sites have already been suggested like GOG, Dolphin blog, Ars, Humble etc. but I found [url=https://easyallies.com/]Easy Allies[/url] a small but frequently updated gaming site with mostly quality content and reviews.
[url=http://www.eurogamer.net/]Eurogamer seems like a good deal too[/url]
And it's more suspect weeb crap but [url=http://nichegamer.com/]Niche Gamer[/url] offers some nice articles and development stuff from time to time and some mostly unbiased reviews.

Not as far as I know, sorry.
[QUOTE=27X;52152471]Then why are we adding arstechnica then

Because people want it and they have a lot more writers so statistically there's less chance of them being dickheads
[url=http://www.somethingawful.com/rss/video-game-article.xml]this is a great idea[/url]
Can we get Breitbart and Infowars bots?

:incredible:
Yahoo Esports would be sick.
