Episode notes
Becoming A Dad Was Overwhelmingly Real
- Peter describes the emotional shock and joy of becoming a new father and how unexpectedly deep his bond became with his four-month-old son.
- He shares a raw moment of being alone with the baby after vaccinations and learning parenting by trial, including failed attempts at calming him with an ABC book.
Start Kids With Curated Retro Media
- Introduce children to retro physical media and older consoles to foster appreciation and reduce decision paralysis from instant access libraries.
- Let kids explore a curated selection first, then let them organically find modern interests later.
Scarcity Builds Deeper Memories
- Peter values physical media because scarcity and limited choice created stronger memories and conversations around games in the past.
- He views modern instant-access libraries as creating paralysis rather than meaningful attachment.
