Yeah the examples he used weren't the best and I have seen people on the reddit banned for seemingly no reason. It makes me scared to even criticize them if I don't do it in an extremely polite way like I am sending some victorian era letter. We are online, there should be some color to the discussion and criticism. Just avoid the slurs and "actual" personal attacks. Also he keeps saying "if you don't like us leave" but what he's missing is that it's like having a family member or friend with an opposing political opinion. You can still call out that person's bias or opinions you have issues with without throwing out the person. I feel this dissonance about Colin all the time but I hope I'm relatively polite about it

yeah I rarely go on the reddit but I have seen threads locked and comments deleted with no explanations a few times

Time was my greatest motivator in improving my life. Even though I knew instinctually what needed to be done, I waited and waited, and I did nothing. It was not until how precious time made itself known that I finally buckled down, got two jobs, and worked towards a trade school.
I wrote into Sacred some time ago with a similar inquiry, and I'm happy to report I took action. Been through the hell of being single in my mid-thirties, with no assets and nothing I'd call a career. But your soul doesn't have to perish out of lonely frustration; your world of troubles is conquerable.

I like reading this as applying directly (and exclusively) to the bidet comment that immediately precedes it.

To the sweetchanmusic guy that wrote in about depression. Collins advice is literally the only thing that's worked for me.
"Keep stepping forward... and you'll be more likely to find your pocket in life..."
Continuing to find action where I can take it and routine where it works. Meaning comes later. At 38 I'm happily divorced with one kid and a job that I love... And tbh this is the happiest and most relaxed I've ever been in my entire life. Despite years of medication, therapy and listening to Colin rant/qoute Seinfeld it was really th action part that moved me forward and helped me find my place in society. Hang in there bud

Appreciate Collins next stand with the whole Reddit situation. I sort of only dip into reddit on occasion when trying to solve a tech issue at work and had no idea any of this drama was going on beyond the tidbits of information I hear from you guys on the regular show. Given what you laid out in this show I feel like you've made the right decision. As a politically homeless lifelong independent I actually appreciate the diversity of opinions across the shows at Sacred Symbols. All are welcome here as far as I can tell.... Just don't be a dick about it.

As a silent majority person, thanks for loosing and disposing of the losers who just come to spread hate.
It is also the responsibility of any member of a community to support positive norms and abhor bad actors.
Well done for weeding the creepy critters who cannot support levelheaded discourse. š

I've been on this earth for 38 years, and I've seen a bidet once in my life. Nobody has one. Normal people use toilet paper. I'm with Colin.

I would like to sincerely apologize if any of my last comments went to far, as I do think some of them might come out as aggressive. While I have great respect of all you guys do, I sometimes write comments as if I would be sitting next to you guys, emotionally reacting etc. All the best for LSM.

Itās not just that, theyāre deleting stuff that barely meets the threshold of criticism. Iāve had two comments in this very thread already deleted simply for mentioning whatās happening on Reddit.
Theyāre banning people in an indiscriminate manner, and theyād greatly prefer people to stop talking about it altogether.
Colin is using the people that were posting truly awful things as a cover to ban anyone who gets under his skin now.

I think the reason that the new Patapon 1+2 release isn't coming to PS4 is because those games are already available on PS4. They weren't just ports of the PSP games, they were full remasters. Patapon 3 was never remastered - which is probably why it's not being included in this collection. The PSP version did recently get a PS Classic release though.

AC shadows is really disappointing. Each character is half of a character. You used to be able to sneak and if you get caught you can fight your way out. Naoe can not fight well. Yasuke can fight really well but he can't stealth or climb things. It is so frustrating.

I just finished the pod and thank you Dustin, so much for the shout-out at the end there! I truly appreciate it. I feel silly for putting the sticker and thank you note in the front side so they couldn't see the cover š
. I wasn't expecting the on-video appearance.
Chris' reaction to the store name made me laugh š

Could the possibility of putting these "people being banned for no reason/ minimal reason" talk to an end be the mods taking a screenshot of said message, which will be put into an updated mega thread so people can see the messages they are dealing with. Complete transparency will stop this constant talk of "bad handling of free speech" on both reddit and discord.

I would actually love more 10-15 hour spinoff type games. Imagine they did a standalone last of us game where you play as Tommy or something or the rumored Venom game

I will literally pay an extra monthly fee for Colin and Chris to do an entirely āsouthern gentlemanā podcast series.
Because I try and do things a little more deliberately, at least thatās how Alouisius brought us up āroun heea.

Oh donāt get me wrong. It was obvious and eventually everyone will come around one way or another. If they donāt then they are in support of authoritarianism. Theyāve already proven they are speed running the end of democracy as we know it. America is now 100% a joke to the rest of the world. I was just saying, this podcast space isnāt really relevant to that in the grand scheme of it all. Use your voice/power elsewhere.

Yeah youāve made the right move Colin. You can see the death throes of these people.
Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate

It was a brilliant idea to add the timer/quest fail on Colin when he tried to sell the listener on Atomfall in five minutes.

Colin, you are a right wing nutjob and I love you
Chris, you are a left wing nutjob and I love you
Jaffe you are a libtard and I love you
Gene you are a... shit I don't even know how you lean but I love you
Dustin you're ok. š
Please don't let stupid discourse disrupt what you guys are doing! I know I'm probably an anomaly, someone who considers themselves left leaning but I used to listen to Michael Savage, Michael Medved, Dennis Miller, etc.
I always find it so much more interesting to hear from viewpoints I don't align with over the echo chamber, besides it's much easier to win arguments when I come to them already knowing what lines they will be using and how to counter them!
Keep it up!
Oh and Matty, Cog, Micah, Brad, I appreciate you all and your unique viewpoints!

I just got the impression he treats people saying he's misinformed the same as an insult.

I donāt think itās about peoples opinions, just the way people communicate those opinions . Hey Colin , if you are reading, I think the current anxiety track of this administration, proves you were very wrong. Thatās very different than starting to character assassinate or put words in his mouth or insult for no reason

I think it'd be a very different reaction if this news was that a smaller Uncharted project was coming up lol (which may well be happening too based on recent ND news) .
It just seems like the guys (but mostly Colin tbh) are pretty apathetic about God of War nowadays. Maybe it's down to loyalty to Jaffe in that he's not involved in the modern GoW games and his games aren't talked about as much now - but the way they talk about these games doesn't match what the general perception is - they are enormous successes both critically and commercially.
And if SSM can get a smaller GoW project out while they're working on their next big IP, then that would seem to be a pretty astute decision. I'd bet it does really well again, and it would help please the fans who bemoan the lack of 1st party output

I guess I just think that it was obvious that this administration was going to be unhinged before the election, so I'm not sure that I agree with the fact that no one voted for this.
Gabriel PrƩgent Terborch
2025-03-28 18:54:16 +0000 UTC
I deleted my other reply because I realized it was pertaining to people being blocked for being dumb and mean. I like to say Iām apolitical these days, but Iād lean more left if I had to pick.
What the current admin is doing is wild, but itās not Colin, Dustinās etc fault. in fact, I heard Colin recently say heās not in favor of a lot of what Trump is doing. Thatās probably because they lied and they are trying to fleece the country. No one voted for what they are doing. If they still blindly support MAGA then they are too far gone.
None of that has anything to do with the content of LSM, though.

For what it's worth about the write in about episode titles, the YouTube video titles lead with title then the podcast name and number. The podcasts themselves in the RSS feed are in the reverse order.
At least that is how my podcast app renders them.

One of the comments was that he spews misinformation. It's not nice and it's not constructive but it is a criticism of his opinions, not of him.
Gabriel PrƩgent Terborch
2025-03-28 17:44:36 +0000 UTC
What's weird is these guys are always on the "smaller games" train. Then they get it and they are like "I don't want this".
Jose Mauricio
2025-03-28 17:43:19 +0000 UTC
I don't know the comments he read had nothing to do with challenging political opinion and were just outright insulting people.
Jose Mauricio
2025-03-28 17:42:31 +0000 UTC
I'm disappointed, I get protecting your feelings, but it seems to me you are also trying to prevent the audience from challenging your political opinions.

2025-03-28 16:35:18 +0000 UTC
I don't see the issue with a smaller, side project on God of War - given that it's clear that Santa Monica's next main project is the rumoured new IP from Cory Barlog, which he's been working on since before Ragnarok was even released. Maybe some of the Ragnarok team spun off after that game to create this, and if it's a smaller game then it could be turned around quicker.
Smaller games in the mould of Miles Morales & Lost Legacy are a very good thing imo, I'd like to see more of that from PS's top studios if they have multiple teams. It means you have 1st party games from the premier studios more often - the lack of this is what annoys people the most nowadays it seems
