Back from the post-holiday hiatus, Scrivonaut and Norayla return for more hot takes on the woke gaming world in a new episode of Splash Damage!
The collective internet mocked Kotaku after they published an article claiming that Halo: Infinite hurts players’ feelings by tracking individual scores. We join in on the mocking and also discuss Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard, people claiming it’s racist that a Dead by Daylight cannibalistic murderer wears a black victim’s face as a mask, Bloomberg’s complaint that games are sexist and Horizon Forbidden West is not because its hero is ugly, Kotaku’s angst that non-black people are making a game with a black protagonist, a G4 host’s tirade about sexist gamers, Polygon really wanting Frodo and Sam to be gay, and plenty more.
It's been a few weeks, but you can listen to this new episode here or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks, as always, for supporting us!

Admittedly, this episode is probably not the best jumping-on point for new listeners. Usually his takes on the news of the week are a bit more punchy, and he does a bit more research on the topics, but he's also coming back from an extended holiday leave and him and his wife just having a kid, so things are a bit scattered. Not your bag? No problem, just chalk it up and move on.
What level of information research? Cause he do not read studies, this I promise you. It is even poor outrage drama/bait, Does he even have any interesting insight into anything?
Kindly do provide Intel on why anyone should listen to this.
