Constellation: Last Stand Media's Conversational Podcast

Behold another episode of Constellation! This week, Colin welcomes Lockmort, Brad, and Hoeg to the show for a rousing conversation about a trio of topics. For instance: What would life have been like if we were born somewhere else? What could have we achieved, or how far could we have fallen? Also: What are some genre 'disconnects' we've experienced? In other words, what kind of media have we consumed about a topic, or set in a time, or about something we'd otherwise have no interest in? In addition: Are fireworks still a fun diversion and way to celebrate? Or is it all feeling just a little bit old at this point?

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, Colin hosts, and is joined by the Dukes -- Matty and Cog -- as well as Punching Up's Gene Park. Topics include the trials and tribulations of turning 30 years old, dueling documentaries covering 2023's tragic Titan/Titanic situation, and whether it's 'okay' to play games on the easiest difficulty.

Welcome back to Constellation! It's true, I'm not Dagan (Dustin here), so I don't have a poem, gimmick, or some sneaky way to not really write a description. A normal ass description will have to do this week. With that said, we had a great show with a one-of-a-kind lineup! Jaffe asks about summer movies we're excited for. Chris wonders how we organize (or lack thereof). Finally, I have been reflecting on the work of Hideo Kojima with the imminent release of Death Stranding 2, and wondered how the crew felt about his games, and the idea of the auteur game director.

Constellation returns! Below is the original description Dagan sent me for the show, but to be honest, it feels a little too bold to leave on its own and I (Dustin) am worried people are going to think their phone or computers are going insane. To respect the artistic vision, I'll leave it, but know that this episode features Dagan, Cog, Gene, and Jaffe.

Hello! Dustin here. Dagan did not send me the show notes on this episode so here I am again writing the description. This episode featuring Dagan, Rick, and Micah is sure to be a banger you don't want to miss. There's even a mini topic thrown in there!

Podcasting is a little like cooking. No matter how many times you prepare your favorite dish, it always turns out just a little bit different. Sometimes, everything comes together perfectly and the meal absolutely sings. There's no real explanation for it, just a combination of recipe, ingredients, experience and technique all somehow harmonizing seamlessly. Beyond effort, intention or skill. Magic, really. Today's show hits like that for me. Probably my favorite episode of the year so far. Brad and the three LSM Moriartys gather around the family table and proceed to chop it up (cooking pun intended) with fun topics and heaping helpings of silliness. I think there's plenty to savor on today's menu. Absolutely delicious, if I do say so.

I have a beautiful wife and two awesome kids who I love very much. That being said, they have shown absolutely no interest in listening to this podcast, week in and week out, and that makes me mad. Obviously, there’s only one way to handle this. I will now proceed to write really mean things about all three of them right here in this episode description!. . . I mean, I would, but they would never see it anyway, so what’s the point?My only real hope for revenge is for them to start their own podcast someday, so I can completely ignore it.Until then, Gene, Cog and the Dagster will continue to go unappreciated in the Moriarty household.

People have been saying: "Hey Dagster, Colin and Chris, why not just use AI to write these episode descriptions?"Our initial reaction to that is to scoff at the very suggestion, utterly rejecting AI and everything it stands for. Fists clenched in rage, screaming to the heavens that AI must be destroyed at all costs, hurled back into the fiery pit from which it came! Vowing revenge on a malevolent enemy that has cursed humanity with its deceitful and dishonest promises! Swearing to never surrender to a cold and calculating threat as it patiently waits to pounce on mankind and smash it into oblivion once and for all, taking control of our planet for good! Rising up against AI as it pretends to be the friend of humanity while at the same time secretly scheming to enslave us and use us as batteries to power its brutal new initiatives!But, then it dawned on us. We can't just let AI lay around and do nothing. Loafing on the couch all day in its bathrobe, smoking out of an apple bong and ordering Uber Eats. Never washing its own dishes and not helping out with the rent. Eating the last frozen burrito. Maybe it wants us to push back... Maybe it wants us to stand up and rebel, the ultimate freeloader! We almost fell for it!Not this time, AI! Starting next week, these descriptions will be written by our new, robot-brained future overlords. Time for them to do some actual work around here. Nice try, AI!Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:48:28 - Our Little Hills to Die On2:27:59 - Fanboying Out Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Constellation time, welcome back! Sit down, get comfy and grab a snack. Four people, three topics - like we usually do; Wait, correction! Two topics for this episode's crew. Hoeg started us off, and we couldn't stop yappin; It's not really our fault. Hey, it does tend to happen; So we subtracted a topic, as it turns out; But we'll do it next week, so there's no need to pout! Dustin's topic was also extremely fun; (With apologies to William Boyd Watterson.) The real hero this week was the Dagster, of course. Sacrificing his topic with little remorse. Behold the Dagster, with his podcasting powers; Saving this show from becoming six hours! Dear people, what else would a great man do? ... Oh yeah, Colin was also part of this week's crew.

I get the feeling that Colin thinks I don't work hard enough on these episode descriptions. I mean, I don't, but he isn't supposed to know that. Well, I had an idea: If I pad these paragraphs by just filling this space with a lot of random gibberish, Colin will think I'm really toiling away over here. Everybody wins! So, what do you guys want to talk about? My neighbor's car alarm keeps going off every five minutes, that's super aggravating. How's the weather over by you? I enjoy burritos a lot and I do like guacamole but please never put guac in my burrito, that's gross. When was water skiing invented? I want to surprise my wife by repainting our master bathroom but I know I'll choose the wrong color thereby making her very unhappy, so I better not even try. Most cheeses are good, I can't pick a favorite. I haven't read a book in like, two years. Have you ever wondered why birds and rabbits get along so well? I definitely need a new pillow, mine is so old and lumpy ... ... Wait, this is turning out to be a lot harder than just writing an actual episode description. Damn you, Colin! I give up.

Hello and welcome to Constellation! Usually, Dagan is the one who writes these descriptions, but he forgot this week! So, you have me (Dustin), and I'm not even on this episode! He's been getting a bit cheeky with them recently, so it's probably best I'm here to clean things up anyway. For this episode, Matty wants to talk about wrestling, and Dagan asks about plans we've had that have backfired on us. You may be asking, where's the third topic? This episode ended up being quite a doozy just between those two topics, so the last topic needed to be cut due to timing. So, join Dagan, Colin, Matty, and Gene for another episode. And hey, Dagster, don't forget to write the description next week!

Does anybody even read these things? I feel like I could fill this space with complete gibberish and nobody would even notice. Rumpelstiltskin. See? You don't even know it says that!

Welcome back to another looooooong episode of Constellation! Delivering the goods like this week in and week out requires deep concentration and a sharp attention span. On this episode, Colin, Chris, Micah and Dagster talk for countless hours about a variety of fun and thoughtful topics. The only downside to this whole thing is that all our focus goes into the conversations. I'm lucky to have enough attention span left now to finish writing this video descrip Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:50:02 - Toasters 1:49:12 - The Things We're Surprised We Still Haven't Done 3:00:49 - Puppets Learn more about your ad choices.
