Sacred Symbols+, Episode 438 | Reminiscing and Prognosticating With Destin Legarie (Patreon)

It's me, Colin. Please welcome my old friend Destin Legarie to Sacred Symbols+. While Destin appeared on Fireside Chats (RIP in Peace) way back in 2017, this is his first time on +, and I invited him at a seminal time in his life. Having opted to leave IGN at the end of last year after a long and vaunted career, our paths are actually quite similar, yet separated by about a decade. How's Destin finding his post-mainstream media life? What's content creation been like out on his own? And what does he think the future holds for both him and our industry? Plus: We talk about games, too. Indeed, most of our chat is all about PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and their respective paths forward in the short, mid, and long-term. How do we gauge the respective journeys these brands find themselves on? How will they interact with each other -- if at all -- moving forward? And perhaps most importantly, why does it feel like console gaming itself has a finite amount of time affixed to it? Are we on a road toward antiquity?
