Summary
As protests continue, Austin, Rob, and Cado discuss the ever growing demand for the defunding and abolition of police. In games news Rob had some hands on time with Total War Saga: Troy, a game that eschews the mythological trappings that surround the Trojan War to mixed results. Austin and Cado are back at it again in Valorant, and discuss the changes made for launch and having to learn new agents due to the influx of new players. Cado's been spending time in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, and has found the tutorials and assists particularly well done. Rob's checking out Telltale's Batman: The Enemy Within and finds its reexamination of the Wayne family a compelling story that few other Batman properties have touched on.

| 0:00.0 | What's good internet? It's Friday June 5th and you're listening to Waypoint Radio |
| 0:20.7 | Episode 318. I'm your host Austin Walker and I'm joined today by Ricardo Contreras. |
| 0:25.5 | Yo. |
| 0:26.5 | And Rob Zackney. |
| 0:28.5 | Happy to be here. |
| 0:30.5 | Happy to have you here. It is again, it has continued to be a long week, this week, |
| 0:35.5 | every week. Every week, every day, every week, every year has been difficult. But this |
| 0:41.3 | week continues to be difficult in pretty unique ways. So thank you to everyone who |
| 0:45.8 | sent us support, thank you to everyone who has reached out to us, solidarity with people |
| 0:49.7 | who are protesting across the country and the world. It means a lot to me to see. If |
| 0:54.9 | I'm only being extremely frank, it means a lot for me to see the difference from folks |
| 1:01.5 | between now and 2014, 2013, like you know, from the origins of Black Lives Matter, going |
| 1:10.3 | back throughout my whole life, going back to previous marches against racism and protests |
| 1:15.9 | against bad policing, brutal policing, police violence. There has been a change. I don't |
| 1:25.9 | want to say a sea change because sea changes happen when real changes happen, when material |
| 1:30.8 | changes happen. But it feels as if specific people I've seen have changed their tunes over |
| 1:39.3 | the last five years. The situation seems like it has a lot more, there are a lot of people |
| 1:48.1 | taking positions that are riskier positions that put themselves out there a little bit |
| 1:52.2 | more, that are fighting for things like police abolition, are fighting for racial justice |
| 1:58.0 | in a way that doesn't feel like they're necessarily looking for the first door back to normalcy. |
| 2:03.4 | That is a relief to me in a serious way. So thank you to everyone out there who is, who |
| 2:08.0 | is, you know, obviously thank you to everyone there who's been in the trenches for a minute |
