Sacred Symbols, Episode 258 | I Feel Summer Creepin' In (Video)

october 20th is actually the day of my wedding anniversary, so i told the mrs (who's not a gamer) that we're starting in and playing spider-man all weekend (just to rib her) and she wasn't too enthused 😂

Keith Huntington

Right?!

Adam Barnes

Realize in my life experience its been most apple consumers any time android is mentioned.So to me it doesn't seem like a vocal minority. Maybe you haven't really seen it in person but I do even to this day.

superbadisfunny .

Realize, that’s a vocal minority. The chill people who might be deep in the Apple ecosystem just don’t feel the need to try to persuade you.

Walt Duncan

On AI generated gaming... I just don't want them using AI to make games longer by adding padding. I'd rather have much shorter games instead.

Kaz Redclaw

That developer tool for Mac that Dustin mentioned in the Death Stranding section, that's the same tool that the Steamdeck uses to play PC games, and it was made by open source developers and enhanced by Valve.

Kaz Redclaw

Good to know that I did not personally kill the Vita, I bought mine from Walmart, the early adopter bundle, in February ahead of the official release. I also bought at least a hundred of games the first couple of years of the system. Mostly digital, but over a dozen physical ones as well. Definitely not getting the Q though. I just have no reason to. I can already stream PS5 to Steamdeck.

Kaz Redclaw

Always entertaining listing to Americans tell everyone how English should be spoken. It's like taking dancing lessons from Stephen Hawking. 😂

Greg Dawson

Yo bring Jaffe in Colin. He’s your Artie Lang. Wild man - straight man dynamic could be magic. Like the old days.

Brent

Ha ha ha. I’m an Apple user, but I get it. It reminds me of when Jeff Gerstmann used to trash craft beer on the Giant Bombcast—it had less to do with craft beer and more to do with the insufferable portion of the fans.

Evan

Colin is a massive fan of Jaffe and obviously looks up to him in a big brother kind of way. That admiration is clouding his judgement in this instance. Jaffe is fine when he’s on a show every few months, but to make him a permanent fixture on Sacred Symbols would fuck the show up entirely.

Adam Barnes

Hey Ryan, be quiet dude.

Adam Barnes

Ooooooooh boy please don't bring Jaffe onto sacred symbols lol. I love him on whatever show he is on, but his energy is usually the entire point of the show that he is on. My absolute favorite part about SS is how organized and expedient the show is, ya'll spend the perfect amount of time on any subject and you know when to move on. I don't think you bring Jaffe on for his ability to stick to a schedule.

Joey

Colin I'll say this as an android user. Without fail I often get apple people still to this day who talk shit about android and they try to convince me to get apple. I don't really care about apple vs android but apple users make me dislike apple because of how the consumers act. It gets so frustrating at times. Btw I'm 30yrs olds lol

superbadisfunny .

I bought 3 Vita's total... And don't have one any more. Two of them were gifts (one to a family member and one for an old girlfriend). Unfortunately my last one ended up having the battery explode (most likely due to a lack of use or something). It's a damn shame...

Born-Blind

you definitely have some bad software on the hard drive.

Ryan

yeah 100 hours for Forbidden West is crazy

Damon Ransom

After the last 3 years, we learned that maybe we shouldn't follow the "experts." Also, science is never settled.

Benjamin Nadeau

My favorite Twitch streamer, Ray Narvaez Jr. (formerly of Achievement Hunter), has been running simulated Mascot Mode tournaments in NCAA Football 2014 since like 2017. It’s where the teams are all dressed up as their mascots on the field and play. It started off as a joke, but now he’s done like 11 tournament watch-alongs, and the teams have like a history and a lore. The AI makes interesting choices sometimes to say the least. Good stuff

Caleb Greer

Talk to an expert please. I don’t think you understand what it means to be able to know the exact physics. You need years of education and expertise to know what you are disagreeing with. I know you listen to YouTube. But that doesn’t mean you understand this subject

Ryan

climate change is just another on the long list of things that are used to keep people invested in one side or the other and see half of the population as beyond the pale. stop letting them use you. politics is just a show you watch to keep you from realizing that you're truly fucked. the money does what it wants with or without your support.

PRETENTIEUX

I don't think Apple would buy Sony, although they could. I think that a partnership would be more likely. Sony already makes the sensors or some components of the Apple iPhone camera. It is also known that Steve Jobs liked the Sony Vaio products quite a bit and wanted to put MacOS on them at that time.

Caleb Shelton

But you see that is also happening the other way around. You don't think that politicians and corporations are pushing "green" initiatives just to get more money? Like subsidies that promote green power for example. The amount of blood minerals that are mined by slaves to make lithium batteries should disturb people. But because it makes you feel good nobody cares.

Luke Silletta

lol yeah it’s def politicized. There is a ton of money pumped into spreading misinformation to the morons so they can keep destroying the world and making money

Ryan

Knowing which Joes to display is half the battle.

Now its just hot as shit here. Thank god for air conditioning.

Luke Silletta

You cant in good conscience admit that climate change isn't politicized to the fucking moon. Every time there is a hurricane, tornado, volcano eruption etc. these "experts" claim with literally zero proof that its climate change. It is the ultimate macguffan that you cant prove or disprove. The entire climate industrial complex is predicated on "trust me bro".

Luke Silletta

I think people hate on Apple for the same reason people hate Crossfit. They come off as culty. (Joking/kind of not joking) Edit. Crap....Dustin JUST made the cult reference. I should stop commenting prematurely. Anyway, still not an Apple fan. They died with Steve Jobs for me

Ryan Zimm

holy shit this community is right wing. goofsters. and yes when something stupid is said i say something about it.

Ryan

People said that during COVID and they were wrong. Science goes where the money goes.

Benjamin Nadeau

it will never happen. they like being captured by their authority

PRETENTIEUX

ohhhh, "scientists" how nebulous and exact. this is all about who you trust

PRETENTIEUX

Agreed. I’d love to see Ryan join sacred x dukes episode

JohnOfTheDead

r.e Saudi Arabia. How can you possibly have a segment on the immorality of engaging with any video game development that is funded by PIF, and then immediately follow that up with a glowing appraisal of Apple, who make all their tech in Chinese slave labor factories? No one forces you to buy an i-phone. It makes your criticism of Saudi Arabia laughable honestly.

kunsam

Don't feed the troll.

Stinkling

For Colin specifically - Remnant 2 can be played fully solo, off-line and is mainly shooting based but also has melee combat in it. It's souls like in regards to the game being somewhat difficult but it will have difficulty levels and while you restart the area over when dying, you do NOT lose what you gained in regards to loot/scrap/opening up shortcuts, etc. I'm not a souls guy at all. The only one I completed was Steel Rising and only because they give you the option to keep your Anima Essence (souls) when dying. I completed Remnant From the Ashes years ago. Great game in my opinion. Remnant 2 looks far superior in every aspect. Will be going all in with the digital ultimate edition when it releases on July 25th.

peter42O

You’d think after the farce that was covid people would have developed some healthy scepticism and logical thinking!

kunsam

Just lol.Literally none of their doomsday prognostications for the past 50 years have come to pass.

kunsam

You do not know more than the physicist and scientists that dedicate their lives to this subject.

Ryan

This is simply not true. It is blown out of all proportion.

kunsam

Colins climate change commentary was unbelievable. IMO he needs some Self reflection on his reactionary instincts and arrogance. Scientists do not talk about climate change in that way. They know the exact physics of why climate change is happening. It’s not data in the abstract

Ryan

So happy to hear you love Bat Boy, Colin. Rahcaz and I were chatting about it as both of us were playing it. I actually backed it on Kickstarter and just absolutely loved it. I got all the Steam achievements for it too. I hope they do a 16 bit sequel or something, especially since Yacht Club seems to be moving on from doing their own Shovel Knight games, Bat Boy could fill that void

Sindri

I live in Calgary and our AQI was between 300-500 for several days straight in late May, it was wild. Currenty around 120 and it feels like we have clean air finally.

Ryan Hayman

Sounds unlikely a Greg and Colin reunion would ever happen, but getting some old IGN personalities on as a guest would be super cool. I have no idea if you've kept any form of relationship with these people, but a few that come to mind would be Goldfarb, Hatfield, McCaffrey, and Sliva.

Meatball

This has got to be the best cover photo yet.

Jackie Rheu

Hey Colin, if you want your messages and devices to work as expected maybe get a (far superior) Samsung phone and watch 😏

Mario Diosdado

I'd rather some form of catchup podcast with Nick Scarpino than Greg personally, they're a combination who had a great chemistry onscreen and isn't as tainted (to the listeners/viewers at least).

Nick O

Just a note dudes, Remnant 1 was barely a soulslike in my opinion. It's a very much underrated third person shooter that really shines in co-op. I had a blast with it during the pandemic with a couple of friends!

Cun

It's better than being a dickhead to someone for being silly and light hearted on a video game podcast patreon. So, yeah, I'll do things my way. Thanks!

Tonys_Always_Write

Is this the bar you are setting? Begging like a baby?

PRETENTIEUX

i'll put my vote in for no jaffe. great for supplementation only. do not consume regularly. this guy, no way

PRETENTIEUX

Greg Miller is an estrogenic loser. Why would you think he would fit here?

PRETENTIEUX

Please no Jaffe on regular Sacred Symbols. Not a good fit AT ALL in my opinion. He's best in small doses.

PRETENTIEUX

False.

Adam Barnes

lmao alright bud, you have a good one.

Dillon

Sounds a lot like the truth that they don’t want get out. This outward grooming and sexualization of children that is happening shouldn’t even be up for debate. And I’m sick of being called anti lgbt. I got nothing against the LG or B’s but to say that mutilating one’s body and putting that pressure on a child is sick. I’ll just stick with pro-normal and not being a pedo

Michael Thew

The player was streamer Nickmercs, and they didn't ban him, they pulled his custom operator from the store. He tweeted on a video where anti LGBT protestors attacked pro LGBT demonstrators. All they are trying to to is recognize June as pride month. So in that context, Nickmercs commenting under that video with "They should leave the little children alone." is obviously implying something else.

Dillon

So I was looking at IGN today and there was an article about banning a COD player, for nothing more than saying people should leave kids alone when it comes to sexualizing kids. Then IGN says it’s anti alphabet people. That comment neatly sums up the pedoass company and the pedoass writers they employ. It’s fucking gross

Michael Thew

Yooo to the write in about Mark/Marc. I was working on my car when it happened and freaked me out. I also have every console and was like wtf man! 😂

Marc L

Even if Greg wanted to do it he cant. He cant jeopardize his position by associating with Colin, even once. All his clique "journalist" pals would bury him. But honestly Greg is just a shell now. He and Kinda Funny are so corporatized. They are anyone's dog for a bone and I need more personality from my gaming pundits.

Luke Silletta

No thank you.

Joseph Gedgaudas

Jaffe. Jaffe. Jafeeeeeeee. Please.

Tonys_Always_Write

I don't have a tech following across the board. I typically just try and go with the best option for each thing. Sony for TVs and console, Samsung for phones, Apple for iPad, and Sonos for soundbar.

Brannon H

i think jaffe coming on the show would be fantastic

iain mcmanus

I would love for Colin and Greg to do a show together. But the roaches in this community would come out from the cracks and fucking ruin it for everyone. The loud minority would make it a disaster imo.

Matthew Foley

I looked at the official data for hectares burned per year in Alberta. Every election year there are exponentially more wild fires. 2020 there were almost no wild fires. Our election just ended so these fires will die down now. Wild fires are politically advantageous so its disturbing seeing the data spell that out so clearly.

Luke Silletta

haha love the thumbnail!

Love you guys.

four24twenty

The best thumbnail yet
