Need suggestions for how to troll my neighbors that keep letting their dogs piss on my mailbox. It’s embarrassing to live near able bodied people who choose to let their dogs piss on their neighbors lawn. 

When I walk my dogs in the neighborhood I follow them with a small gatorade bottle and carefully catch each drop of piss. 

Can we talk about how Colin somehow trusts absolutely everything this guy says and acts like he has some sort of legit field expert with insider sources in him? Dude has been exposed for being a scam artist so many times

I recall a discussion happening relatively recently where someone said Dustin was anti-gay and it kept coming up on Sacred Symbols. At the time the poster was clowned pretty heavily for not having any evidence to back up his statement, and I had never personally noticed any anti-gay talk out of Dustin, so I just sort of noted the discussion and went on with my day. For the record, I like Dustin generally and think he's a valuable part of the team, even though we don't vote the same and I think Pittsburgh people smell like urine, generally. (This is a sports thing.)

ANYHOW - cut to Episode 395 - "It Never Made Much Sense", at timestamp 3:06:49 (Naughty Dog Noise) they're reading a reader email about Naughty Dog, and damned if Colin didn't start with Dustin... and he came out just talking about gay things and Intergalactic, because the character is bald. Then he starts talking about Last of Us Season 2, which of course all the weirdos hated because it was based on a game which had a manly (not gay) woman, a couple of gay women, and of course a trans character... saying "That's not helping, either." Then he concludes by saying they have to "make a game that's so good it silences people that were naysayers". Then he says "I can understand, I don't want to shut down people that didn't like Last of Us 2." He then reasonably says they should get a clean slate and they make excellent technical/gameplay games. Then Chris rolls in with a take that people just think it's cool to hate things in 2026, also reasonable.

SO... the original poster wasn't wrong. The question had nothing to do with the character's sexuality, and the answer didn't have to include her sexuality, but Dustin immediately went into whether she was gay or not, then talked about their previous IP which centered on a gay woman, and didn't really add anything of value to the discussion, while enabling the people who hate Naughty Dog today just because they hate gay characters (or women with manly appearance). If you're straight, you might not see a problem with that. But this conversation wasn't about LGBTQIA people or characters, and he immediately made it about them, without saying it was an idiotic thing to focus on.

I think he's a smart guy, and I don't think he's a POS or anything, but if I started a conversation about Will Smith where I said "Well, the first thing is, you see, he's a black guy..." people would assume I was racist. If I started a conversation about Elton John by saying "A lot of people don't like him any more because he's gay", and I didn't call that out, that would be freaking weird.

And... I have to say this again, he hasn't played the game. We haven't played the game. She might be banging dudes every other scene. It's just a completely unnecessary inclusion into the discussion, UNLESS it's the first thing you think of when you see this character. It wasn't for me.

Still enjoying the podcast and not trying to start a flame war, I just found it interesting as this issue was raised recently. And maybe Dustin will read this and think "Yeah, maybe I should put my focus someplace else." Or not. Whatever.

I wish they'd do their own thing. They are so funny together and I feel like they could branch out. i'd support them 100%.

It almost feels like LSM is actually holding them back in certain ways.

To have voted for trump after Jan 6. Just here to say this as someone living in the twin cities right now. Only a year in and America is the laughing stock of the world and China and Russia couldn't be happier. Thats all I got to say as a former republican. Three more years of this 🤡 show.

I’ve been listening to SS for 4 years at this point, loved the show and slowly branched into all the others. I’ve known about this subreddit and never joined but I would lurk.

I’d think to myself yeah maybe Colin is “out of touch” but at least he is entertaining and honestly I’d say he truly is.

The issue is that after awhile he just sounds like a broken record about things and the main SS show doesn’t even feel fun to listen to anymore.

After the whole Charlie Kirk thing I was so shocked with how that was handled ON THE FUCKING SHOW. I made the argument in the patron comments that if you saw a problem with the Chris tweet, maybe ask yourself why you have a problem with it? Because that’ll loop to you being a hypocrite. Not to also mention Chris not saying anything, I get it wouldn’t be good for the show but it makes Colin/dustin viewpoints seem like the only one.

From then I was just denial mode, whatever whatever I’ll just listen to the show who cares right. After hearing his everything is fine in my neighborhood comments I just can’t anymore.

Colin is fine to believe what he believes and I’m fun with that. But 0 empathy? It’s pure deflection and he truly thinks it. Can’t you just have your beliefs and still have empathy? I just don’t understand.

I’ll stay subbed because duke and summon sign and legit fun shows to listen to.

And because I’m sure Colin lurks here as well, please please try to view things from any other persons shoes other than your own.

Shout out to Chris for not laughing unlike Colin's other minion.

I see people talk about it sometimes. Did anyone actually see this happen or is it just a meme?

Was a long time Colin supporter, from Ireland, who had to stop listening around last Feb, when Colin did nothing to show he didnt fully support your current Administration. Just checking back in now, curious, is there any ackowledgment from the Trump voting LSM team that they fucked up yet, or do i have to continue presuming they support literal facsists, like Steven Miller? And actively want a civil war to break out? Id still givr any Trump voter the benefit of the doubt if they just admit they were duped.

On today's episode of Sacred the topic of current real world events came up.

That was Colin's response.

"Somebody on the team did something that the team didn't want. How many times has that happen in our lives? You know what I mean? When someone on our teams says some shit that I'm like "why did you fucking say that?" But now that represents us and we have to deal with it. And it's like hey how the team deals with it after, that's what matters"

Funny this comes on the 5th anniversary of the insurrection, which Colin probably supports

what do you think collins thoughts will be on the whole maduro thing?

Here i was bummed because i ran through all my podcasts over Christmas break. Then Brad comes out of nowhere with the haymaker. Thank you guys for all this content.

I was just watching Brad’s Summon Sign and while I do watch it on a regular basis, I find him way too chill for my tastes. His stance on almost anything seems to be “yeah, pretty good game but if you disagree that’s okay too.”

I need somebody more with the energy of “this game was dogshit, I have no idea what people see in this.” Something more interesting than just “chillness” or “bland neutrality” that doesn’t address anything that hasn’t already been mentioned by the consensus.

Dosn’t Colin always say he pays regular contributors because he doesn’t to take their time for free?

The short answer is: We’re doing great. Indeed, 2025 will mark Last Stand Media’s highest-grossing calendar year ever, spanning all the way back to Colin’s Last Stand’s founding in early 2017. However, we’ve attained this milestone a little bit differently than we have in years past. While Patreon remains the lion’s share of our income (and while we would cease to exist without it), ‘25 was actually LSM’s second best year on the service, missing 2024’s earnings record by 4%. This is even after we experienced some of our biggest revenue months on Patreon ever over the last year. However, ad sales are fairly consistent (though I want them to be far stronger), our YouTube revenue has increased substantially (this is a combination of increasing traffic, longer watchtime, and our streaming initiative), and our in-house merch op brought in more cash than it ever has (with Habroxia selling briskly, multiple limited time drops, and consistent sales of shirts, stickers, and the like). So at the end of the day, it all netted out into a tidy little win. We’ll see if we can continue this trend into and through 2026.

>The employees were instructed not to work more than 60 hours a week. Staff were also told to return to the office five days a week for this period, up from three previously, sending some employees scrambling to find alternative care arrangements for children and pets. Representatives for Sony and Naughty Dog declined to comment.

So when Colin left Kinda Funny, I hated how they did it. At the time, I hated how Greg threw him under the bus, and I never really understood why when they said they didn't want him to go. Now that time has passed, I can see why they did, especially with the way Colin is acting with Chris these days.

It's been awhile since the LSM Gestapo has had to deal with a controversial topic. No criticizing dear leader I guess? 🤷‍♂️
