Welcome to Pixels and Polygons, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is…

HOT TAKE! What’s that hot take opinion you have that you know goes against the popular consensus?

My guest this week is:

Nic McConnell works in the game biz at Riot as an Age Ratings Manager and hosts his own weekly show, Instruction Derby, on Twitch. Follow him on bsky.app at @mcconnell.bsky.social + @instructionderby.bsky.social
