Dad Needs To Talk

Im back! I start this episode with a conversation about disconnecting from feeling the need to be part of the current conversation of all the ongoing shows, games and manga. Then I discuss my thoughts after playing several hours of Assassins Creed Shadows and touch on the Nintendo Direct. I also dive into thoughts on Severance, Invincible and a couple of manga like Akane Banashi and Maison and the Man Eating Apartment.Go check out Lisa article which is related to the main topic. https://thewonderofanime.com/the-case-for-slow-consumption-of-media/Timestamps(00:00) Intro and Life TalkMain Topic(17:45) Breaking the current cycleGames(33:45) Assassins Creed Shadows(49:00) Nintendo DirectTV Shows(58:50) Severance S2(01:07:00) Invincible S2 & S3Manga(01:12:30) Maison and the Man Eating Apartment(01:17:45) The Marshall King(1:18:46) Akane Banashi 142-151(01:20:50) Final thoughts and Outro______________________________Follow meMy website: https://dadneedstotalk.com/Blue Sky: dadneedstotalk2.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/DadNeedsToTalkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dadneedstotalkpodcast/If you enjoy what I do and want to supportKofi: https://ko-fi.com/dadneedstotalkPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Dadneedstotalk

I recap the Texas highschool basketball championships from this weekend and talk about my new One Plus 12 phone. Next with games, my son Vash and I got back into gaming on the Switch this past week. Playing more Mario Wonder, Yoshi Wolly World, Pepper Grinder and a new game called MainFrames. I also share my experience so far with Lies of P.

While many things in life are out of our hands, being as informed as possible is a great step to staying ahead and prepared for the unknown nature of life. This week we had to deal with a bomb threat warning at my kids school. Thankfully everyone is ok and this had me reflecting on a few things. My wife and I have been pretty involved with the school staff within the district we live in for many years. This has helped us stay informed and sometimes get a heads up to various things. Thus I wanted to discuss this all today.
