Joy Without Toxic Fans · Dad Needs To Talk

0:03
What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's
0:05
Talk. I'm your host, Robert, and today
0:08
today I just wanted to catch up and talk about trying to move
0:16
past Toxic fans. But before I get to that, I hope
0:22
everybody out there is doing well.
0:24
Like I said, I'm going to try. I'm going to just be a little
0:26
sure little mini episode, just just some thoughts I want to get
0:28
off my mind but it's always if this is your first time here
0:32
then welcome. But if you're a returning
0:35
listener and or watcher then welcome back.
0:37
Y'all know here Danny to talk. It's all about fatherhood and
0:40
family manga, anime TV shows and gaming.
0:44
So like I said this this episode a little bit more focused in a
0:50
sense. Just because this topic has been
0:53
on my mind for a while and as always for certain parts of the
0:58
conversation stuff I'm going to talk about today, whatever,
1:00
check your time stamps. Because if I feel like if I feel
1:03
like it a little bit later on I might also touch on a little bit
1:07
of news and stuff from the from the Nintendo director in the
1:14
position instead of play whatever.
1:16
But I'm primarily here to just kind of.
1:20
Share my thoughts on the current state of being a toxic fan just
1:32
because. And I guess the reason why this
1:34
kind of like this is something that is like looms in the back
1:37
of my mind from a ton of time, but I feel like with the recent
1:42
releases of stuff like Starfield, the PlayStation.
1:49
The One piece live action TV series and several other things.
1:56
It's just kind of just like rear this ugly head once again and it
2:04
now. There's a difference between
2:07
having preferences for something, but you can have your
2:13
preferences without being toxic. And trying to shove your
2:19
preferences or to somebody that they are wrong or stupid or
2:24
whatever for a liking what they want to like.
2:29
So example I'll kind of set this off with, with a classic that
2:37
comes up all the time, the sub versus dub conversation with
2:42
anime now. Yes, we, a lot of us have
2:47
preferences or whatever, but I feel like the conversation often
2:54
times goes in a way to where people are just like down, like
3:00
just like fully just putting down the other side.
3:02
And most of the time, at least my my experience, whatever, it's
3:06
mostly the subwatchers putting down the people who enjoy the
3:09
dub. And I feel like from my
3:12
perspective. There's a multitude of reasons
3:16
for having options, because for one, sometimes you just don't
3:24
like Subs. And also there might be times
3:26
where somebody might have a condition where there be a
3:32
disability with reading or whatever multitasking and stuff.
3:39
Or might be a kid. Who knows what that might?
3:43
Lean them more towards maybe once listen to the duck because
3:47
I prime example, my middle son, he's 10, he's been watching
3:51
anime for a couple years now, whatever.
3:53
But you know, he started like like example a couple years ago.
3:59
He started watching Naruto, and he was watching and watching and
4:03
watching and loving it or whatever.
4:05
But then he reached a point to where there weren't any more dub
4:10
episodes available. I think it was on Hulu or
4:12
whatever. And then he just kind of like
4:14
kind of stuck and sad because he's like man, but he he did
4:18
start making that transition to watching sub.
4:22
But that was a little bit of a barrier, you know, at first for
4:25
him. And I was like even for myself
4:29
as a 30 year old grown man with the family and stuff that works
4:34
in IT, in the medical field and stuff, whatever.
4:37
I have long busy days and sometimes when I come home and I
4:42
want to just relax and watch an anime.
4:44
If it has both, there's a chance, especially in recent
4:48
times, I'm probably going to go with Dove just for the just for
4:54
the ease and the comfort towards I can just kick back, watch
4:58
something in peace and not have to worry about, you know, super
5:03
super focusing and paying attention and stuff.
5:05
Whatever. I can take my glasses off, you
5:08
know, without being like crap. I need my glasses to read the
5:11
the subtitles, whatever. But also I look at it this way
5:14
as well. Why not have more options?
5:20
Because I feel like the more languages that are available for
5:27
people to watch a series in then it means we all win.
5:32
Right now, if the show is available in Japanese or
5:37
subtitles English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, whatever
5:46
the case may be, then that is freaking awesome because it
5:51
means that there are more people enjoying the thing that you
5:55
already love. Which means that, hey, maybe
5:58
this series, because it's getting more and more attention.
6:01
You know, well, hey, maybe that'll domino overtime, Maybe
6:03
you know, Monica says we'll go through the roof and then we'll
6:07
get another season of the anime. So I I just don't understand.
6:10
Like I said, like, like people being like Boo, you know, I hate
6:13
dubs or whatever. Hey, if you don't like it, that
6:16
is fine, but don't crap on other people because they might prefer
6:19
that. Now moving on.
6:22
Same thing with, like I said, like with Starfield and gaming
6:26
and Council Wars and all this dumb stuff.
6:28
Whatever. Yes, we all might have our
6:31
preferences or whatever. I've mainly been a PlayStation
6:33
gamer, but I have all of them. I got my PlayStation Five.
6:39
I got a couple of Xbox series. My wife and my son and my sons.
6:44
My kids have Xboxes. I have a Nintendo.
6:48
Switch as well that I share with my 5 year old and it's like
6:53
having options now. Yes, everybody isn't.
6:57
Able to financially or really want to own all the systems, all
7:01
the different platforms, whatever.
7:04
But still we all make a choice. Whatever.
7:09
And yes sometimes exclusive suck towards like man, I only have an
7:13
Xbox but man Spiderman really looks dope or man, I only have a
7:17
PlayStation. Man, I would love to try out a
7:19
store field but I can't that that's just the unfortunate
7:23
nature of the beast. But.
7:26
That doesn't mean that like to to basically to go out of your
7:31
way to ruin the experience of somebody else just because
7:34
either you. Can't get access to that thing
7:39
or you don't have access to it or whatever.
7:42
Catch my build ever. Because people going out of
7:45
their way to like, you know what, I don't care about
7:49
Starfield or whatever, but I'm going to go look for leaks and
7:53
spoilers and I'm going to spoil the whole story for everybody.
7:56
And stuff. Whatever.
7:58
And you know, there's ways to voice concerns or to be like,
8:04
hey, you know, if there is a game that is a concert exclusive
8:07
within, you know, within certain aspects or whatever, it's cool
8:11
to voice your concern to the developer and be like, hey, is
8:15
there a chance for this game to come over to my platform,
8:17
Whatever, without you being toxic and just being like, hey,
8:20
I'm going to just dump spoilers in the chat or whatever for this
8:24
game. For whatever reason, because I
8:27
think about like to earlier this year with all the stuff that
8:30
happened surrounding Hogwarts legacy and that stuff, whatever,
8:35
to of course people had valid concerns and stuff with the
8:40
game, people behind it, all that stuff, whatever.
8:43
But for people to go out of their way because they don't
8:50
want to support the game or they don't want people to be
8:52
supporting it or whatever. Okay.
8:54
I'm going to go out of my way to just be spamming the ending and
8:58
big plot points and stuff whatever and the and the
9:03
comments I've ever posted. I see whatever that is not the
9:06
right way to handle that situation because like cause
9:09
you're just you're just causing another problem in this thing
9:15
that you're trying to you know combat against or whatever.
9:19
You, you, you get what I'm saying?
9:21
So it's it's just situations like that that that just kind of
9:24
sucks. And same thing I got to talk
9:28
about with the with the PlayStation portal when that got
9:31
announced and stuff, whatever. And people getting upset being
9:34
like this device is pointless. It's so stupid, you know?
9:38
Why get that when there's already options like the
9:40
backbone or whatever that you can just do the same thing on
9:44
your phone or whatever. Once again, options.
9:48
Yeah, me for myself and my household and situation or
9:51
whatever I was like. Yes, the pleasure portal is
9:54
super dope. Looks like something that I
9:57
would want to get and and plan to get at some point in the
9:59
future. I might not get at lunch today,
10:01
but it is something that is on my radar that appeals to me and
10:05
my situation. Yes, I've known about the
10:08
backbone and stuff for a long time.
10:10
Yes, I can stream my PS5. Here to my laptop, in my little
10:16
area that I have here, whatever remotely to kind of get the same
10:19
thing. But hey, sometimes I maybe I
10:21
just want to lay in the bed or whatever and not have my gimmick
10:25
experience tethered to my cell phone or whatever.
10:29
Once again, it's all about preferences and options.
10:31
It's not a lot of times the way people backlash on stuff.
10:37
It makes it the way people be complaining about stuff.
10:40
Whatever. It's it's like.
10:44
It's like somebody is taking something away from you, you
10:46
know. It's like the purchase portal
10:48
existing does not negate or or or lessen.
10:57
You know your experience of using the backbone or remote
11:01
playing to your laptop or whatever your PC.
11:05
It is just another option to do this thing that you want to do
11:10
now. Yeah, you can be like, man,
11:10
that's dumb. And then keep it pushing
11:12
whatever. But you don't have to go out of
11:16
your way to hunt down people online that have been like,
11:19
yeah, I'm, I'm excited for this device and just come and be
11:21
like, man, this thing is crap. It's trash.
11:24
You're stupid for wanting to buy it.
11:25
Or it was like, why did you worry about what I am doing with
11:28
my money? You know, I got to work every
11:31
day, bust my butt, take care of my family and stuff, whatever.
11:34
And then when, when Robert. When this dad wants to.
11:40
Spur some money on a Spiderman 2P S 5 controller or the PS:.
11:46
Portal Or I want to check out this other thing.
11:49
Whatever. Or hey, I want to watch this
11:51
anime and dub, whatever. Why do you care?
11:57
And like I said that that stuff like that, it's just like, it
12:00
just boggles my mind, like who these people are on the other
12:07
side. That are typing up these
12:09
messages and stuff, whatever, Just spamming stuff, trolling,
12:12
whatever, Just maybe just being toxic.
12:14
And it kind of, in a way, shows the ugly side of us all being
12:24
too connected with too much ease of access to information and to
12:27
each other, to talking to each other, whatever.
12:31
Just because I I feel like, you know, sometimes I do miss and
12:35
and and you know, of course we can still get it just
12:36
disconnected from the Internet, from the Internet or whatever,
12:39
or from social media and stuff, whatever.
12:41
But the simple nature of loving what you love, enjoying what you
12:47
enjoy in your own little bubble without knowing.
12:53
What anybody else knows and thinks about and a lot of times
12:56
one thing we thought to keep in mind is was that like sometimes
12:59
those of us that are active on social media a lot we're in a it
13:03
seems like it's a lot of people. But in the grand scheme of
13:06
things, it is just a very loud echo chamber.
13:10
Because because once again, for for all the complaining stuff,
13:18
whatever people did for. You know, talking about
13:22
Starfield or talking about Hogwarts Legacy earlier this
13:24
year, or certain movies or whatever, they still blew up.
13:31
Still so like Game Busters, because there's way more people
13:37
out there in the world that have no clue about certain
13:42
controversies or thoughts or opinions on a game, a show.
13:49
A event or whatever. They're just regular people just
13:54
going about their lives, living with their families, whatever.
13:58
And they hear, oh, a new game out from the people who made
14:01
Skyrim. OK, cool.
14:03
I'm going to go check that out or whatever they don't know or
14:06
care too much about. Like, oh, it's, you know, oh
14:09
it's got a 10 out of 10 from this place, but oh, I GN and
14:12
guess I gave it A7 or hey, this person gave it a four.
14:16
They don't care, you know. Same thing like with, you know,
14:19
with the Hog legacy thing, whatever.
14:22
It was like there's so many people that just saw the TV
14:26
commercial or was in the store and saw something that said
14:30
Hogwarts or oh hey, Harry Potter thing, whatever.
14:35
Oh cool. Hey mom, buy that for me or
14:37
whatever or hey babe, I want that for my birthday or as a
14:40
gift or whatever and they have no clue about.
14:46
All the fussing, fighting, screaming, all the struggles
14:49
that are going on. You know, all the Pockets
14:52
episodes being recorded, all the YouTube videos, tik toks, all
14:56
that stuff, whatever. They have no clue about this
15:01
echo Chamber of the Internet culture that a lot of us find
15:04
ourselves in. And it it it's, it's like I
15:08
said, I think sometimes we just, I just kind of forget that, you
15:11
know, because like I said, we're kind of in it all the time and.
15:15
It's kind of made me. It's kind of made me try to
15:21
lessen my time online as well, just because.
15:25
And of course, obviously if there are valid concerns with
15:29
certain things, whatever, of course I do want to hear those
15:31
opinions, stuff, whatever. But sometimes there are, there
15:34
are times to where people just it it it.
15:37
It's like it's a race to see who could have a hot take first or
15:42
crap on something first. Whatever.
15:44
Before somebody else and it's just like Dang, you know, and
15:49
and and and it kind of hate that.
15:51
It kind of like sometimes sways or starts to affect your
15:55
thoughts on something whatever to where you're like, oh, I'm
15:57
really enjoying the show. Let me look on Twitter and see
16:00
see what the people are thinking about or whatever.
16:03
And you're seeing like this post like this show is trash or the
16:07
dub is awful or whatever it catches me to be.
16:10
The animation is horrendous, whatever.
16:12
And it's like that. I thought that looked good.
16:14
I thought the voice sounded great, you know, or or or you
16:18
was indifferent to it or whatever.
16:20
And now that stuff is in the back of your mind.
16:21
When you go back to watch a show or you go back to play your game
16:24
and you're like, is it bad? And I I don't like that or
16:31
whatever. Like I said, like, like like
16:33
being overly, overly influenced by other people's thoughts and
16:39
stuff, whatever. And so that's why I appreciate
16:45
some people like shout out to Phoenix from the anime Tea and
16:51
Polo and tell from Mike Chick, Waifu and Lisa from Wonder of
16:56
Anime. Just different friends and
16:57
people that I've met over the time that.
17:01
Enjoy the things that they enjoy, watch what they want to
17:04
watch, play the games they want to play, whatever and for the
17:08
most part. Their social media presence is
17:13
little to none, especially Phoenix from from from the anime
17:17
T you know, it's like she'll she she does awesome work, present
17:22
awesome content or whatever, and then just ghost out living her
17:26
best life, traveling the world and stuff, whatever, doing what
17:29
she do and then popping back in, dropping more awesome stuff,
17:33
whatever and disappearing. Same thing with the homies
17:36
problem and tail. Watching or enjoying what they
17:40
watch, play, whatever. Unapologetically giving their
17:44
unfiltered and mostly untainted thoughts on whatever they're
17:49
watching or playing or whatever, and then going by their
17:51
business. And that is something that I
17:56
think we all should do more of. Enjoy what you want to, what you
18:01
want to enjoy, whatever. Of course, you know, like I
18:03
said, it's it's good to have those conversations and to hear.
18:07
Different opinions on why somebody maybe didn't like
18:11
something or why somebody didn't like something that that you
18:13
didn't like. Justin Maybe, you know, just to
18:16
kind of like, you know, just like give you different
18:18
perspectives, but don't go out of your way to just crap on
18:25
something for the sake of crapping on or whatever.
18:28
Because I know we see that a lot of times with my example, like
18:32
going back to games and stuff, whatever to where.
18:36
And everybody has something to say about how horrible a game
18:40
is, you know, even especially if there's like preview coverage
18:45
coming out or reviews. And then it's like, OK, yeah,
18:50
you read this review or you watch the review videos, the
18:53
podcast, whatever. Or some people, you just see the
18:56
the number score or whatever, didn't even read or watch or
18:58
listen or whatever, and then you think you know the game and it's
19:03
like. Have you even seen gameplay?
19:05
Have you even played it yourself?
19:07
Because that's another thing too, is like sometimes seeing
19:11
stuff in a trailer or in a small clip without actually going
19:17
through the actual motion of Okay, I'm actually watch the
19:19
episode of this, or I'm actually get my hands on a controller and
19:25
actually play a little bit of the game, try out the demo,
19:29
whatever. Everybody knows.
19:33
How horrible something or whatever is without actually
19:36
even trying it out. And it's just like, wait, how do
19:40
you know the game sucks? This review came out two weeks
19:44
before the game is even out or whatever.
19:45
It's like, does your uncle. Work at Nintendo and get you
19:48
early accident you know what's going on and so so yeah so so I
19:52
I just kind of the toxicity of everything.
19:57
I'm just kind of slowly, day by day.
20:01
Becoming more and more tired of it and just ready to kind of
20:05
like continue to try to pull back and separate myself from
20:09
it. Because another big example of
20:12
of when this happened to me was a couple weeks ago when the One
20:15
Piece live action series. Dropped or whatever.
20:18
I never forget. I woke up that morning and I was
20:22
like, Oh yeah, I think I think the series is out today or
20:23
whatever. So the first two things I did
20:26
like so this was like 5-6 o'clock and I'm going to woke up
20:28
whatever. Before before I was getting
20:30
ready to go to work, get the kids up for school, all that
20:31
stuff, whatever. Grab my phone, click on the
20:36
Netflix app, boom, big banner, one piece of live action.
20:39
I'm not awesome. That is dope.
20:40
Whatever. And I think I saw I had like
20:45
notification something with that, I don't know but I opened
20:48
up Instagram just to like just to browse or whatever. 1st post
20:51
on Instagram, whatever. Some account, like I said, the
20:56
hours before I even saw it was like I said it was like at 5-6
20:59
AM myself. First person I was like was
21:03
like, hey, at what point did you did you turn off the one Piece
21:07
live action or what moment made you turn off the one Piece live
21:09
action? And I'm like, man, I'm already
21:12
seeing crap before I've even gotten a chance to watch it
21:18
myself. And once again, I wasn't even
21:24
searching for one piece live action stuff, whatever.
21:27
On Instagram, on social media, whatever.
21:29
I literally just opened the page, the feed, you know,
21:33
refreshed, whatever. And the first post there was
21:36
that. And it's like okay, wow, you
21:41
know, and stuff, whatever. And of course I still, I still
21:43
watched it and I still enjoyed it, whatever.
21:45
But like I said, just like moments like that to where it's
21:48
just like stuff is just like. Thrown in your face, sometimes
21:50
unexpectedly, because people be like, well, why don't you stay
21:54
off of social media or hey, why don't you mute these words or
21:57
whatever. And it's like, yes, you can do
22:00
that. Yes, you cannot follow certain
22:01
accounts, whatever. But sometimes there are things
22:04
that are out of our hands from just like the algorithm or just
22:07
whatever, you know, like I said, I wasn't going, I wasn't trying
22:11
to find that or whatever. It was just I literally.
22:13
Just opened up the app and the first thing was there without
22:16
without me even doing anything. Was just a you know, hot take,
22:19
so to speak. Whatever.
22:21
But but yeah, so I I, I just kind of just want to just touch
22:25
on all all this stuff, whatever. But I do enjoy, and I and I have
22:32
been doing this more, disconnecting from stuff,
22:35
whatever, trying not to go down the rabbit holes of these social
22:42
media threads and comment sections and stuff, whatever,
22:46
where people are talking crazy about whatever thing, whatever.
22:50
And it's just like, you know what I enjoy, what I enjoy and I
22:55
try to do? I've been trying to do more
22:56
stuff in a bubble as well. Especially because for somebody
23:01
like myself who does podcast. And who reviews and talks about
23:06
stuff? Whatever.
23:07
I do also want to try to give as much of my pure thoughts as
23:13
possible on something without it being too influenced from other
23:19
people's thoughts. Whatever.
23:20
Now of course there are some things I do still want to maybe
23:22
hear or get like a second opinion on or whatever before I
23:26
talk about it, just to maybe see okay did I miss something or
23:28
whatever. But a lot of times it's like,
23:31
you know what, there's a new game I want to play, whatever,
23:34
and some people might feel certain way better, whatever.
23:36
But I don't want to see for myself if this is a game that
23:40
I'm enjoy or not so that people who come to me for my thoughts
23:44
on or whatever will know, OK, hey, I usually align with Robert
23:49
on this type of manga, TV show, video game, whatever.
23:54
Or hey, I don't really align with Robert on these certain
23:57
things. Whatever.
23:59
OK, what did he like or not like about this thing?
24:02
And then kind of you form your own opinion and decision from
24:06
there as far as, OK, alright, you know what, he didn't like
24:09
it. But the stuff he said he didn't
24:10
like is stuff I actually enjoy. So I think I will pick that up.
24:14
Whatever, you know or or am I kind of at least like pique your
24:18
interest and that is that's something that I try to do is
24:23
just because like I said like I'm a busy.
24:25
I'm a busy person and I try to minimize as much negativity
24:31
around myself as possible because.
24:33
Like I say, I I have a busy life.
24:35
I have a busy family. We, you know, just just no more
24:38
daytoday stuff. You know, wife, five kids and
24:41
stuff, whatever. And then three of my kids do
24:44
sports all year round and we're traveling the country and all
24:47
the stuff, whatever, tournaments and events and stuff, whatever.
24:50
So I don't really have time and energy to waste on the
24:56
negativity of the Internet. And so that is why at the end of
25:00
my shows, I love trying to promote treating yourself and
25:07
loving the things that you love and enjoying the things that you
25:09
enjoy, regardless of what others are saying.
25:13
Because don't let somebody's negative comments or thoughts
25:20
deter you from at least try something out yourself.
25:24
Whatever can I just say, even though there might be maybe like
25:28
some bad things being said about something, whatever, or or a
25:31
potential controversy, do your own due diligence.
25:34
Do your own research to try to form.
25:38
Your own opinion. Like I said, I go out there,
25:40
listen, watch, read, whatever. But but ultimately the decision
25:45
is on you as to whether or not you are going to watch this
25:49
show, read this manga, play this game or go to this place or
25:55
whatever. If if I'd be like, man, I really
25:58
didn't like this movie theater or whatever, or hey, I didn't
26:00
know I had a bad experience at this.
26:04
Bowling alley or whatever. I don't know.
26:05
I'm just being spit balling, random stuff, whatever, you
26:08
know, that's still on you to decide for yourself if whether
26:12
or not you're going to engage with whatever that thing is.
26:17
So like I said, let let's just try to cool it on the toxicity
26:23
and the hot taste and stuff for that because I I'll never
26:25
forget. I think it was maybe like a year
26:26
or two ago, I was a guest on somebody.
26:30
Sure, whatever. And they, I think they were.
26:32
They ended up doing a section to where they were giving like hot
26:35
takes or something that they hated or whatever.
26:38
And that's not really me. That's not really my style.
26:41
So I was the only person on the show there was given a positive
26:44
spin or a positive outlook on stuff, whatever, just because I
26:49
couldn't think of something that I wanted to trash.
26:51
Talk about or whatever, you know, and it's it's it's just in
26:55
my nature, I guess, you know, I guess I'm just naturally the
26:58
nice guy or whatever. But but yeah.
27:03
But All in all though like I said, I think sometimes we do
27:06
need to disconnect from each other a little bit more,
27:09
especially disconnect from social media and stuff.
27:11
Take those breaks. Walk.
27:13
Away Take a day, take a weekend off from social media, whatever.
27:20
Think. Before you post, you know, or
27:24
tweet something out or post something on whatever social
27:26
media platform, record that hot, take TikTok or whatever.
27:31
Because sometimes when we take a moment to breathe, then say, you
27:35
know what, okay that thing wasn't that bad or whatever.
27:38
Or I don't need to necessarily say that because I've caught
27:40
myself in the middle of like, typing up something to tweet and
27:43
then it's like, what good is this comment?
27:47
Or this post is going to do, it's just going to probably
27:50
cause a crapstone aware or whatever or probably nothing,
27:54
because I don't really have the biggest audience as is, so
27:57
nobody's going to see it anyway. So it's like you know what?
28:00
The time I'm wasting trying to figure out how to type up
28:03
something to tweet or whatever for whatever, I could just be
28:07
enjoying the thing I'm enjoying or just continue watching,
28:09
playing, whatever. It's like I'm I'm wasting what
28:14
little precious time we have. Because time is short, time is
28:17
limited. Time is precious.
28:19
Like that is definitely something that you cannot get
28:22
back is your time. So be wise about how you spend
28:28
it and be kind to each other because like I said, like, like
28:33
you know you, we don't. We don't all have to agree on
28:37
everything. We all don't have to like the
28:38
same things, whatever. And it's okay to have your
28:41
preferences, but don't crap on somebody else.
28:45
For their purposes and how they play a game, how they watch a
28:51
show, what language they listen to, something in, or whatever,
28:53
if they prefer the anime over the monger or vice versa, you
28:57
know where the catch might be or whatever.
28:58
Because at the end of the day, let's all just share the love
29:03
and enjoyment of the things that we have in common and leave some
29:08
of the toxic stuff behind. Because, like I said, especially
29:12
if you don't really know the person.
29:14
That well, and you're just saying stuff just to say it or
29:17
whatever without knowing 00 K This person has a condition as
29:21
to why they have to play a game the certain way, or they need
29:25
this extra accessory or the need, you know, to watch stuff
29:29
in dub or whatever it comes may be or whatever.
29:32
We all have things going on behind the scenes that we might
29:36
not talk about openly with everybody.
29:40
So yeah, so point is, let's just be kind to each other.
29:43
And with that, I think I am done with that topic.
29:51
And so before I get out of here, like to just just kind of just
29:53
touching on a little bit more lighter stuff, whatever, I'm
29:58
going to touch on a little bit of some stuff I've been playing
30:03
lately as well, like a few of some small highlights.
30:08
From the Nintendo Direct and the.
30:11
PlayStation Showcase today, because there wasn't necessarily
30:13
like like a whole whole bunch of stuff, whatever that they talked
30:18
about. But I guess I'll start with
30:21
stuff I've been playing. So I've.
30:24
I've still been playing a sea of stars.
30:28
Chipping away at that. That game is so freaking
30:30
awesome. Thinking I might plan on trying
30:32
to maybe do something down the road where I talk about all the
30:36
similarities of this or like certain themes this is has in
30:43
common with One Piece because it's it's it's okay.
30:47
I've literally been to a underwater city with fishermen.
30:51
I've been to a sky. Island area.
30:53
I've met freaking giants. I've been to a futuristic
30:58
setting area, whatever. I'm like, man, am I in the voice
31:01
century. I'm not in my own egghead that I
31:03
think I just met the three Admirals last time I was playing
31:07
you. And all these different things.
31:09
Whatever I saw. But but yes.
31:10
So see if stars are still been dope.
31:15
What else? Oh, I try out the demo.
31:18
For this is there is this game called Gunbrella that I've been
31:22
excited to play for a while. Well, it finally came out this
31:26
week. There was actually a demo for in
31:28
our Steam. So I play the demo of it.
31:30
I recorded my first. It was like play like 45 minutes
31:34
of it. It's on my YouTube channel so go
31:36
check that out at Dad needs to talk on YouTube But but that
31:40
game is super dope. I love the look and the style of
31:42
it. It's.
31:43
It's basically kind of. Like a like a action adventure,
31:48
kind of like platformer game toward your weapon is the stain,
31:52
literally called the gun brother towards literally a weapon that
31:56
is a gun that is also an umbrella.
32:00
And the game play for it feels so freaking smooth and nice.
32:05
The sounds, the music feels awesome.
32:08
I'm loving the different characters and stuff that I'm
32:10
meeting and interacting with. So All in all, that's a very
32:13
dope game and I look forward to playing more of that that game.
32:18
I played a demo for last week and I can't remember if I talked
32:21
about it on here or not, but I'll call the turnites.
32:23
They came out earlier this week. Whatever.
32:25
Once again, I wish I had. Freaking money to spare.
32:28
Whatever, because I would love to play more of that but I can't
32:31
remember if I talked about that on here or not.
32:33
But that was basically kind of like, shoot, what's it called?
32:42
The kind of like half persona, kind of like action dating SIM
32:47
type of game, whatever that I played the demo for last week I
32:51
think. So sorry.
32:52
So that that is for the outer whatever.
32:56
But so that's kind of it as far as like what I've been playing.
32:58
I have a bunch of demos for some interesting stuff that I've been
33:02
downloading on Steam that I put on trying to get to and record
33:08
and stuff, whatever. So it'll be on the lookout for
33:09
that and just a reminder that all that gameplay stuff,
33:13
whatever, make sure that y'all are subscribed to the YouTube
33:15
channel so that Y'all can check out that stuff, whatever,
33:18
because obviously since it's gameplay or whatever, and I'm
33:20
talking with the gameplay. I'm not going to post it here on
33:23
the on the podcast stream for the audio only stuff, whatever.
33:27
So just keep that in mind. So aside from that, oh, quick
33:35
little tangent or whatever, because I forgot to even mention
33:38
this, whatever, but I guess because I ain't doing my normal
33:40
talking or whatever, but your boy got called in for jury duty
33:45
yesterday. But luckily.
33:49
I went in but I didn't get selected or whatever, so but I
33:52
had to be there majority of the afternoon on what was that
33:55
Wednesday. So that got to me some some
34:00
interesting people and stuff I think I might have about about
34:05
of I think the. The situation or the case was a
34:08
potential was tied to a murder case, whatever, because I did
34:12
some looking up of the some of the people's names, whatever.
34:18
And it tied to a murder. And I was like, ooh, you know,
34:21
so. But they knew me and all that or
34:23
whatever. So.
34:25
So Wednesday morning, I was happy because I got up in the
34:29
morning. Whatever, Nintendo announced.
34:31
Hey, we got it. We got a Nintendo Directs coming
34:33
Thursday morning. I'm like, okay, cool.
34:35
Then I go do all the the jury duty stuff, whatever, get out of
34:40
the court thing, whatever to see the news announcement like, hey,
34:44
PlayStation, instead of play coming.
34:46
Thursday afternoon as well. I'm like, yeah, Dang, hey hot
34:49
dog, you know, So yeah, so. But All in all, like, there
34:54
wasn't like nothing like super to be at least like for me.
34:57
So just some of the highlights or whatever.
34:59
Like I said, I'm just going to just rattle these off.
35:01
Whatever. They're doing a.
35:05
A remaster of the original first three Tomb Raider games, this is
35:09
going to be coming out February 14th of next year.
35:14
I'm just going to kind of go over like the main ones.
35:17
There's this game called actually let me pull this stuff
35:19
Up. OK so there's this kind of like
35:25
a strategy RPG game called Unicorn Overlord.
35:30
Now this game the the the reason why a lot of people were excited
35:33
for this because first of all like like the R sound stuff
35:35
looks really dump on it or whatever.
35:37
But the company that's working on it is called Vanilla Wear.
35:40
They also did the 13 Sentinels, Aegis Rim game, Odensphere and
35:47
Dragons Crown from back in at the PS3.
35:50
Days or whatever. So the game was super open, are
35:54
not really my type of game, but I just wanted to put that on
35:58
y'all's radar for any of y'all that are into that type of game
36:01
or or or any of those previous games I mentioned a for sure
36:09
unexpected surprise. Was a spy family video game
36:14
called. What's it called?
36:16
I think it's called Spy On You, Operation Memory Memories.
36:22
Nobody expected this game. Whatever.
36:24
It looks super adorable. So.
36:26
So that that's coming out sometime next year as well.
36:30
But that that. Game looks super cute.
36:34
There was also a I don't have the trailer for it, but there
36:36
was also a a demon Slayer. Mario Party style game that they
36:43
announced that everybody was like, wait, what?
36:45
What is this? So that's coming.
36:49
Let me see more Mario Kart stuff I don't care about.
36:52
They announced the F0 99, kind of like a battle Royale version
36:57
of F0. Now I've never really played F0.
37:01
I know little, little to nothing about that series.
37:04
But I know a lot of people are excited about this I guess.
37:06
But but I saw this, they actually dropped this on the
37:09
eShop today. So the F0 99 it's already out.
37:13
If you're interested in it, you can go download it and play it
37:16
now so. That's there.
37:21
What else do to do? Oh, Princess Peach, Showtime.
37:29
Now earlier this year they had announced there was like a new
37:33
Princess Peach platform or or or or game, focus game, whatever
37:41
that was coming out or whatever. Well, we finally got like a
37:43
little bit more information or whatever.
37:45
And Princess Peach is going to get all these different types of
37:49
transformations and stuff throughout.
37:52
The game and. She's going to have all these
37:57
like little outfits and stuff, whatever one of like one of
38:00
them. She's like a sword fighter.
38:02
So was like, what's it like? Sword fighter Peach that looks
38:06
super awesome. There was like a pastry chef on
38:09
where she was like potassier Peach.
38:13
There's a detective outfit. There's a Kung Fu outfit.
38:18
Just just so many different cool little looking little things.
38:21
And so that game looks super dumb.
38:23
That's coming out. March of next year.
38:27
So very excited and looking forward to checking that out or
38:32
whatever. And let me see, I don't know if
38:35
there's a there's some game called Another Code.
38:39
I think it was also called a Trace War from the Nintendo DS
38:44
and we so that series is getting remastered whatever that they're
38:49
bringing to the Twitch in in January.
38:54
What else? Latoon DLC they announced
38:59
they're doing? A HD or master of the Paper
39:02
Paper Mario? Thousand Year Door Mario.
39:06
The original Mario versus Duncan is coming back.
39:08
So those those are kind of like the big highlights from the
39:11
director, whatever. Nothing too much is supposed to
39:13
be, personally. But like I said, I wanted to
39:14
just kind of mention that stuff for those of y'all that might be
39:16
interested in it. Yeah Speaking of the tenor
39:20
record before I leave of course the the rumors and stuff are
39:24
sort of swirl or more again about the potential next
39:28
Nintendo Switch the Nintendo Switch to potentially whatever
39:31
the the next system is going to be potentially coming out next
39:35
year. And so because it seems like a
39:38
lot of developers and stuff got to see it or get a demo order or
39:43
whatever like games common Germany in Germany last month
39:47
and so something like like developers are starting to get
39:49
their hands on the new hardware whatever.
39:51
So potential specs and stuff when it was coming out about the
39:55
coming out about the device, whatever seems interesting.
39:58
I'm definitely going to get a day one no, no if ands about
40:02
that or whatever, but so yeah, so new switch potentially come
40:05
in sometime next. Year.
40:09
We've just kind of been like like flooded with so many
40:14
amazing games this year. Like it's ridiculous because
40:17
like the the reviews for lives of.
40:20
Peak came out today. The game is scoring
40:23
fantastically. I've talked to a couple people
40:26
that actually reviewed it and stuff, whatever and stuff, and
40:30
they were very high on the game. And so I'm like man, like I
40:35
haven't, you know, I'm not necessarily like the biggest
40:39
like Souls type of person. The only one that I've ever
40:42
played through all the way and beaten is is a Bloodborne, which
40:45
is the shirts I am rocking today.
40:47
For those of you watching the the video version, I got the the
40:50
maiden saying may you find your worth in the waking world is one
40:55
of my all time favorite shirts. Shout out to my old homie Kelly
40:58
she got me the show convention years ago but Bennu so lies of P
41:04
so on on on the Bloodborne track for a lot of people whatever.
41:09
And I've heard the like, like the story, the game play, all
41:13
this stuff is good. So I'm looking forward to
41:15
getting around to it when I can. The dope thing is that it's
41:19
going to be on Xbox Game Pass when it comes out next week.
41:24
Now that and Mortal Kombat 1 both come out next week, though
41:27
if you got like the higher tier of Mortal Kombat, I know there's
41:32
some people actually playing it right now because it came out a
41:34
few days early for people to have like the premium edition or
41:38
whatever edition. So not a lot of people are
41:40
already diving into the game tonight, but bad so.
41:44
Hearing good things about that. So swinging on over to to the
41:50
state of play, let me see what's that for.
41:54
So funny enough, so, so, so they announced Roblox is coming to to
41:59
PlayStation 5 and PS4 and I'm like, oh, I never knew Roblox
42:05
was never on the PlayStation system, whatever.
42:07
Which is kind of crazy just because, you know, I've seen my
42:09
kids play, but they've played it on their Xboxes and their phones
42:13
and tablets and stuff, whatever. So.
42:16
I know how big Roblox is. Like I said, my kids and stuff
42:18
playing. And so the fact that it's been
42:21
around all these years and it's just now coming to the
42:24
PlayStation, they just have to blow up even.
42:26
More so I get shout out to them a Ghostbusters VR game I don't
42:31
really care about. More colors for the for PS5
42:36
controllers in the covers. Hell Divers 2 got a new day is
42:41
push out of this year's going to be coming out February 8th. 2024
42:47
got a new trailer for Avatar Francis of Pandora.
42:51
Resident Evil 4 Remake is getting a new DLC with Eight or
42:56
wrong coming in a couple weeks. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is
43:01
coming out in February of next year on PS5.
43:05
They showed a new trailer for that.
43:08
They showed more Spiderman two stuff.
43:09
Which I did not watch because I do not need to see any more of
43:13
that game, man. Like it is like so hard trying
43:16
to dodge brothers and stuff for that game now because like a lot
43:19
of people, a lot of press got to go play it recently.
43:23
And so I know tomorrow by the time y'all are hearing this,
43:26
there's going to be previews and stuff up for it.
43:29
And so it's like ma'am, it's like seeing screenshots and I'm
43:32
like, I don't, I don't want to see no more but but I'm excited
43:37
to play that game when it comes out in a month.
43:39
But, but those are kind of like the main highlights from the
43:42
PlayStation thing. I'm trying to think, is there
43:47
any other like big stuff that like really happened lately
43:50
gaming wise? Yeah, I don't.
43:54
I don't think there there's nothing too much else I really
43:56
want to dive into right now. I guess I do want to shout out
44:00
there's another game that came out this week.
44:01
I didn't get a chance to to try it out again or whatever, but
44:04
it's called. Should I get the name out there?
44:08
Believe the name is Thunder Ray. Yeah the the the game is called
44:13
Thunder Ray. It's pretty much like a a game
44:17
that plays in the style of like a punch out from like the NES
44:21
and we and stuff back in the day.
44:23
So if if you're looking. For since Nintendo won't put out
44:26
a new punch out game, go check out this game called Thunder
44:29
Ray. It looks really cool and really
44:31
interesting. I hope that maybe I might get a
44:33
chance to to find a demo for it or something, because I really
44:36
would like to at least like try it out or whatever, just like
44:40
shot a little bit of spot. I don't know, even though I
44:42
don't have the biggest platform, but hey, you know, my handful of
44:46
views is better than 0 views. You know, eyes getting on the
44:50
game, whatever. So but I'm gonna have Thunder
44:53
Punch Ray or Thunder Ray. Sorry, Thunder Ray is out.
44:59
So go check that out. And yeah, I think that might be
45:05
it. We got the the Fall anime
45:10
season. Is like like the height for that
45:13
is building up. I I'm excited and in the coming
45:15
weeks I will do a dedicated episode Packets episode talking
45:21
about what stuff I'm going to be watching for the fall season
45:25
that Y'all should have on Y'all's radar and stuff.
45:27
So I'll be looking for that in the coming weeks.
45:30
So I'm. I'm very excited for that.
45:32
I'm trying to think because it is so much stuff, man.
45:38
Freaking like they put out another treasure for Shangri-La
45:42
Frontier and any of y'all that they watch.
45:47
My review I did about the first like 90 chapters that I read
45:51
like this time last year. Y'all already know how I feel
45:54
about the series and it's like like from what they show, like
45:56
visually the voice act and everything seems on point.
46:00
This is one that I hope it does get a dub as well, just so that
46:03
more people will get exposed to it.
46:05
But I'll talk about that more. Once I get ready to to do the
46:09
preview in a few weeks or whatever, but I saw a lot lots
46:13
of amazing things coming up soon.
46:16
A lot of the the summer season anime is starting to wrap up, so
46:19
I'm probably going to be doing some binge watching in a few
46:22
weeks because I put a lot of shows on pause for the time
46:26
being just because a lot of them I was enjoying.
46:28
But I was like, man, I just want to just watch them all together.
46:31
And a lot of them were getting dubs and stuff too.
46:33
So I'm like, you know what, I maybe switch over to the dub
46:36
with a lot of these and just I want to just watch them all in
46:39
one shot. So probably and probably after
46:43
the fall preview, whatever, I'll go back and I'll do maybe like a
46:47
summer review episode or for recommendations and stuff that I
46:51
enjoyed from the summer that I want to put on your radar and
46:54
stuff. Aside from that, you know I
46:57
probably also going to do an episode on.
47:00
Talking about like going back to certain series, either be
47:05
whether it's shows that are just like older that I've never
47:08
watched that came out many years back, or stuff that I stopped
47:13
watching, pause dropped, whatever that I went back to
47:17
recently and gave her another chance for when I had to finish
47:19
whatever that I ended up enjoying.
47:21
There's some of those as well. I got some more monger reviews
47:26
and stuff coming up soon. I've already.
47:29
I recorded one then I really touched my heart.
47:31
But the manga for the manga's not coming out to till the 1st
47:35
week of October. So I might hold that for a
47:37
couple more weeks, whatever. But it's called it's called that
47:42
time. It's not easy to hold on.
47:46
Yeah it's called that time the manga editor started a new life
47:50
in the countryside. Man, this was such a feel good
47:54
story. Like so.
47:55
I came with to talk more about it in a few weeks.
47:58
But I know This is why I definitely don't see nobody
48:00
talking about it or nothing but who and I guess I'll just say
48:06
real quick. So basically basically the basic
48:08
premise of it. Is that it?
48:09
Follows the story of a manga Arthur who worked at a magazine
48:15
company for 13 years. The company got shut down and he
48:20
was kind of torn between trying to figure out like basically he
48:22
lost all his motivation to try to to continue working in this
48:28
industry. And so he is becoming a rice
48:31
farmer or starts working toward becoming a rice farmer.
48:34
And it's just like a such a wholesome.
48:37
Story that a lot of people I feel like can relate to with
48:39
just like unexpected things happening in our lives and then
48:43
us kind of coming to a a pivotal moment.
48:46
It was okay. Am I going to continue going
48:49
down this path or am I going to make a change and do something
48:51
that makes me happy that I want to do and pursue so really good.
48:55
Actually look for this for that review in the coming weeks.
48:58
And I'm also reading some other stuff right now.
48:59
I'm currently reading through what is this thing called the
49:05
Summer her car died. I'm I'm also reading through
49:09
Nina, the story Bride. I got access to Glitch volume 1A
49:15
comic series. Car parenting is weird so I got
49:18
some stuff that I'm I'm cooking up and working on behind the
49:20
scenes like this was the game stuff I'm trying to get to and
49:24
play through whatever. So lots more stuff coming but
49:27
I'm just rambling at this point. But as always, thank y'all so
49:33
much for listening and or watching.
49:35
I hope y'all enjoyed my little rambling discussion up at the
49:39
top of the show. But I just feel like I just had
49:41
to get the stuff off my chest and to just like to just to
49:44
remind everybody. Like, man, we got to disconnect
49:47
sometimes and just sometimes enjoy things and our own little
49:51
bubble untainted by the thoughts or or opinions of others or
49:56
whatever. Just enjoying the things that
49:58
you want to enjoy because you enjoy them.
50:01
Not because somebody told you the two or somebody told you,
50:03
hey, this thing sucks. Go out, see and find out for
50:07
yourself. And with that I'm wrapping this
50:10
up. Thank you so much for watching
50:12

50:14
Daddy's to talk. Make sure you're following
50:16
subscribed. All that fun stuff.
50:18
Tell your friends. Tell your Mama.
50:20
Tell your. Tell your grandpa, tell your
50:23
kids and and as I always say, treat yourself to treat yourself
50:29
to something nice. Reach some monger, watch some
50:33
anime and TV, play some video games and live your best life.
50:38
