Hackernews for game developers?

Question

I recently got into game development and am wondering if there are any forums, people or tech focused websites worth following for interesting game dev news.For reference, I follow game developers like Jonathan Blow (Braid + The Witness + Jai Language), ThinMatrix (Equilinox), TheCherno (Hazel Game Engine), Carter Anderson (Bevy Game Engine).

I'd also recommend follow indie long-time legends such as Jeff Vogel. Jeff Vogel is the kind of indie developers most should follow. He never released anything that reaches millions of computers, but his consistency beats most of the game development studios out there, including professional ones. I believe his business model and development strategy should be copied by anyone in the Indie business.Basically he targets a niche market and does so well that he can always rinse older products into remakes and re-remakes. His player base is not huge but is very loyal.
