Constellation, Episode 46 | Video Game Pitches, Internet Sleuthing, Breakups, Eggs
Added 2023-11-20 17:00:11 +0000 UTC
Gather 'round for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Joining the Brothers Moriarty this week is LSM's coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson, alongside Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun. Dagan gets us started by asking us each to pitch a new video game to the audience, and naturally delivers a delightful idea of his own as well. Micah's nail person recently moved shops, and that presents a problem: She has no idea what salon she's defected to. She's turned to internet sleuthing to solve the case. Chris wants to chat about breakups and how they present themselves in our lives. Sometimes they're our choice; other times we're blindsided by them. What memories come to mind when the topic comes up? Finally, Colin ends with something silly: The humble egg. Fresh off an 'argument' between he and Micah about how eggs should be cooked and consumed, he goes to bat for why eggs may be the best food of them all.
Great ep. Got the platinum in Catlateral Damage - underrated game and great concept. Cat quest games are good family-friendly diablo clones, too, and sequel comes with coop (obv. Platinumed both).

My best friend catfished a local man by pretending to be a girl- not for money, but to get him to take pictures of himself with a shoe on his head
He eventually escalated it by setting up a date, obviously not showing, and wiping out all traces of the catfish account
The guy went to prison for murder a few years later :/

As someone who has gone from farm fresh eggs in my childhood, to store bought eggs, then back with some backyard hens, the taste difference to store bought eggs is immense.
Unless you're burning them.

Funny enough Colin live in one of the best states to get amazing Pho. Fairfax Virginia is like a mini Vietnam in its own right with so many amazing spots. Then if you want other things authenticly Vietnamese you can go to Edan Center in Arlington Virginia right next to Fairfax

Cat fishing is very real. Was catfished twice 💀. It’s very easy to get duped by people due to nature of online dating.

Hearing about Dagan’s bad breakup is somewhat comforting because I went through a very similar situation with my first breakup. Losing yourself, not keeping in touch with people you should, etc. Great topic this week! 💙

Listening to the Pho portion and laughing my ass off because I didn’t know about the pronunciation either. When I moved to Austin 6 years ago there was a Pho place named Pho King. I always pronounced it F-OH King until someone corrected me lol.

Love Dagan’s rock idea. Sounds cute. Chris’s game sounds like a Psychonauts spinoff. Baby Godzilla sounds so cute as well. I’d play that too.
Micah not leading with the Venmo message is wild. 😄

My recent Mandela effect was I vividly recall the classic Hollywood actress Aubrey Hepburn died of a drug overdose in the late 1960s. The new timeliness claims she made movies til 1989 and died in the early 90s.

This podcast ain't big enough for two Owen S's. We got a way of setting these sorts of disputes down here. Meet me in the town square at high noon.

A sandwich with no condiments? That's a bareback sandwich.

Eggs are already gross in concept and in practice.
The idea that there are people eating these sopping wet eggs is truly horrifying to me

My niece was all about Rolly Polly ollie. I had to put up with so much of it when I would have to babysit.

The break up topic is very timely for me, my 8 year relationship ended recently. What Dagan had to stay really spoke to me about putting the other person on a pedestal. Last stand media really does help.

Does anyone else get irrationally annoyed when someone refers to an order of fries as a “fry”?
It’s the worst. On par with calling a pizza a pie

On the thought of ideas and writing them down, I think Michael Jackson woke up around like 5: 00 a.m. and asked his producers to record a song and they're like can't do this for the morning but MJ said by then Prince would have recorded it.

I’d love an entire True Detective-style mini-series of “Neckbeard Detective.”

Bro Chris’s idea of a human body is so fucking dope. I’m picturing a metroidvania though. And maybe make the blood vessels the fast travel system. And the final twist being that the brain is the final boss. Like a Mother Brain knock off. And then you gotta dash out of the world before it dies like at the end of super Metroid.

Imagine the baby Godzilla idea being a game with platinum style game play in a teardown sort set up. Give it some of those stylized looks and moments with the quick glare Micah mentions. Kind of like the little attack rushes on persona. Before going into a rage mode where you can use powers ups attacks like shoot beam from your breathe and all. I could totally see this.
Also Chris’s idea remind me of old school cartoons haha like the magic school bus when they go into that kid’s cut and examine his blood cells and shit. Or Rugrats when they go inside Chuckie to find the watermelon seed he swallowed to stop it from growing inside his stomach hahaha. Fuck yeah.

Can’t wait for Amethyst to say “Did I just move Igneous with my freakin mind?” and then the credits roll immediately.
