I'm trying to find good sources for new* scifi content. Google is being extremely unhelpful at finding blogs and I know there have to be a few out there. I'm really focused on games but at this point I would be interested in any writer who covers science fiction content.

Bonus points for any blog that focuses on aliens.

*by new I mean new to me, I dont care if it came out yesterday or 100 years ago

Check out the monthly magazines, that's where most authors get their start and you'll find a lot of great fiction there.

Clarkesworld, Lightspeed and Beneath Ceaseless Skies offer their content on the web as well as ebook and print magazine issues - they're my most read these days.

Neil Clarke also runs a reprint magazine, Forever, which should turn up more previously printed material you likely haven't read.

Edit: This thread from last year is a great "best of" recent Clarkesworld content: https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/11bd333/since_clarkesworld_is_getting_attention_what_are/ - start there, pretty much every story mentioned is excellent.
