My interest in gaming plummeted after he passed.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They've also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

Same here, friend. Still hits me every now and then when I see a Steam game with a recommendation from his curator page. Doesn't happen too often these days, but still the occasional older game I haven't picked up yet goes on sale.
