Gaming While Ukrainian | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 202

One of the key tenets of our programming here at Last Stand is providing balance. Different perspectives, conflicting points-of-view, disparate voices. Today's episode of + is one such episode, confidently presented in the wake of Episode 197 of this very show. In that hour-and-change conversation, I invited a Russian gamer to our show, to talk about the Russian perspective on recent global events, and how that's spilled over into our industry and our hobby. Today's episode is the other side of the coin, offering a Ukrainian perspective on those same questions. To that end, Anastas Lyakh speaks with me (Colin!) about a wide range of topics, and the second half of our show is pretty much entirely focused on games. However, I warn you: Like the Russian conversation, our talk is deeply and inherently political. It won't be for everyone, and you shouldn't listen to it if you don't like 'politics' in your podcasts.

I love these different perspectives on gaming around the world!

Obviously very hard situation for people in Ukraine, they have so much fear and rage. I just think the international community should sue for peace at any cost, if this war spills to other countries it might be the end of us all.

Last Stand Media is so damn good. Proud of you guys.

Excellent interview!

Great interview. Is the next plus episode the Xbox Showcase deep dive?

Unclear what's happening there. Because Cog works a day job, we need to be very mindful about working around him and not putting him in a tight spot. We're getting it together in the coming weeks.

Thought it was a great episode! It made me want to listen to your conversation with Roman. Both were insightful and fascinating!

I think the word you guys were looking for is “Abridged” for the part where Anastas talked about Dostoevsky. Great interview btw, Colin. Other gaming podcast never talks about these things. Thanks for the fantastic content, as always. And to Anastas, удачи вам, слава Украине!

I don't usually like heavy amounts of politics in podcasts but having watched both this one and the one with Roman, I just wanted to thank you for bringing these to us. It was refreshing hearing both of their perspectives and hearing some raw unfiltered information regarding how this war has impacted them. I gladly welcome more content like this in the future.
