The Community Spotlight 2023.07.29

Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community creations from the previous week.

If it seemed like the site content was light, that's because Jeff Grubb was on vacation. It should be noted that this was the first vacation Grubb has taken since joining Giant Bomb.

People have been asking for a thread with every possible Twitter alternative the staff are using. Here's the first draft. If you know of others to add, drop a comment with links! For example, I don't use Mastodon and could use help with link to confirmed staff accounts.

Speaking of which, if you are looking for Twitter alternatives to the Giant Bomb Community Twitter account, which provides daily updates about cool community content and site updates, I have created a Tumblr, cohost, and bsky version of the account that provides the same updates that I do on Twitter. If you are on those platforms, please follow these accounts and like some of the posts I am sharing so I know which social media platforms to prioritize in the future. Also, feel free to ask me questions about Giant Bomb and life on Tumblr and cohost.

An update dropped for Premium Videos and you shouldn't require a workaround anymore. However, it seems that is not the case for everyone. If you still can't watch videos on the site, drop a comment here! As disappointing as it might seem to file another ticket in the same thread, progress is being made and more people are seeing the issues with the video player disappear.

Finally, Jeff Grubb guested on the Kit & Krysta Podcast to talk about what he's been hearing about Nintendo's future plans for gaming and the possibility of a Switch console revision.
