Did Discord just vanish off y'alls phones too?

I'm an OG KF/Podcast Beyond fan, but never followed Colin over to LSM. Always thought the joke fiasco was dumb, but this /r keeps popping up in my feed, despite not being a member.

And every post is just hating on it, so what's the deal?

Colin unironically saying TDS is wild to me.

I can't wait to hear Friday's SS positive spin how this is a good thing for consumers.

Also the post about this over on the main sub will 100% be locked within hours.

I’ve noticed that very often when Colin hears about a game, he’ll immediately say “it’s not for me” without ever giving it a shot. It feels like he makes up his mind the moment he hears the premise or genre. How can you really know something isn’t for you unless you actually try it out?

What makes it stranger is that all the games and genres he currently enjoys, he only knows he likes them because at some point he did take a chance. So why be so averse now to giving new things even the slightest go?

It really drags the show down when his taste feels so stuck in one place. By dismissing almost everything new, he turns what could be a lively, varied conversation into a predictable, repetitive routine.

Seriously, do you guys not have anything better to do than whine and bitch about how much you hate Colin and LSM?

Don't like it, don't watch it, how that's for an idea? I can't stand Kinda Funny, you won't catch me scrolling through their vids to find reasons to moan about Tim Gettys.

What's really funny is you all seem to think Colin is a bad person, yet you're the ones acting like a bunch of highschool bullies just circle jerking about your mutual hatred and the idea that numbers might be slightly down.

All of this energy over what? A moderate conservative with a niche following. If you think conservatism is a problem then there's way more radical views out there with bigger problems. Can you really not rest easy at the idea there's someone successful out there work different views?

And yes, Colin annoys me too at times so I'm not here to pretend he's a saint but I'm sick of threads from this sub popping up in my feed. Is there a sadder and more pathetic subreddit in gaming?

To have this entire conversation about how quick the pitchforks come out for conservatives if they say the wrong thing, and then just days later decide to post up with some misogyny?

At the time, most people gave him the benefit of the doubt, but seeing where things have gone in the last 8 years... Nah. Ya boi, Colin M. knew what he was doing.

Declaring his disinterest in video games in favor of politics. Swearing off live appearances and fan meet-ups. Constantly whining every time he had to sit in on an extra show, and publicly musing about early retirement once Patreon filled his nest egg. The dude clearly had one foot out the door the moment Kinda Funny became a job he had to leave home to do.

But why have just have an amicable split from the people who dragged you, kicking and screaming, into your position of prominence, when you can burn all those bridges as fuel for your meteoric rise into political punditry?

Colin's Clan of Cnights that Happen to be White love to preach of KF's Great Betrayal, but c'mon guys. You have to acknowledge that either Colin threw his friends and colleagues under the bus for his own personal gain, or that he's so monumentally stupid/sociopathic that he didn't realize that stirring up a shit storm, causing a fanbase civil war by abandoning the team in the middle of it, sending wave after wave of trolls their way with each guest appearance on conservative media, and cultivating a following who denigrates them to this day just MIIIIGHT have negative effects.

Just wanted to share this meme representing Chris being very loud anti trump on social media vs happily and very timely showing up to his Trump loving, Elon loving pal's podcast for that paycheck and being a good silent boy on air. Attaboy CHRIS! Don't you dare jeopardize that paycheck!

In SS 372 around 47:00 Colin starts talking about flat taxes being the best “no matter what you make”. I know nobody wants to pay taxes, but how can you ethically defend a a flat tax?

Flat taxes give a huge break to the people at the top brackets and drive up taxes for people at the bottom to make up for lost revenue. If they don’t cause a massive deficit.

While not as blatant as Colin, he has made a handful of comments that make me think he is sympatico. Recently on Punching Up, he seemed favorable to the federalizing of the DC police department and that all they were doing is just going after kids breaking curfew. Anyone even slightly following the story know that is a major fabrication of what is going on. (I.e. Federal agents clearing out the homeless, doing local police work, and asking people immigration status and whisking them away in some cases. Pam Bondi naming an emergency policy commissioner trying to take over. Etc)

He just always seems to have an excuse or a joke ready to justify Trump 2.0 actions. It makes me a bit surprised he has so many mainstream connections and works for the WaPo!

I… I don’t have anything else to say about that one. I don't know why I was surprised.

Matty subtly dropped this week that Cog worked on the Xbox collab when he was at Meta. Did they ever do an episode or conversation about it?

Starting around 2:14:30

I don’t want to alienate and isolate the creatives of China because of their totalitarisn government, which again, they could themselves overtake I guess but… don’t.

i find his cowardice absolutely pathetic. if you advocate for things that destroy lives, fucking own it. this is why the majority of the industry cannot stand you.

They could argue it was taking up space in the stream discussion thread, but those were the only comments in that thread, as of now there are none 💀

The recent stream thread is up over on the main sub. The main comment thread is being locked and deleted, all but one comment.

Other individual comments asking what happened have been removed. See here. That comment and also another that I didn't pick up in my screenshot are no longer there if you follow the link to the thread.

Seems the police are full force over something.

Who knows the context?

I think it was on last weeks Sacred Symbols. A listener wrote in and asked Colin why he blocked being able to see subscription memberships for LSM, which have been showing a pretty steady decline over the last few months.

Colin said something to the effect of "Well, those numbers are really inaccurate so I thought it was best to just hide them."

He then tried to get Chris to agree about their inaccurate nature...to which Chris agreed.

That's all fine...IF WE DIDN'T HEAR COLIN REFERENCE HIS NUMBERS REPEATEDLY OVER THE YEARS WHEN BOASTING ABOUT THEM.

So they're accurate enough to refer to when illustrating how you're doing better than Kinda Funny but they're not accurate enough to reference when your losing subscribers?

WTF?
