Cup of Jones - October 26, 2020 (Patreon)
Content
Thank you for tuning into the Patron Party. Overall I’d say it was a successful event. We didn’t blow the roof off this Patreon, financially, and we had some technical hiccups on our Saturday marathon stream, but I call it mission accomplished. You also might have noticed on social media that we’ve received 2 PlayStation 5s and have begun our preparations for next-gen coverage. There isn’t much else I can share in today’s episode, other than to stay tuned because the rest of this year is going to be nuts.

DISCLAIMER: I take questions from the post comments on the previous week’s episode here on Patreon. You can ask a business-related question which I may answer live, or a personal question which I may answer below. If your business question was not answered live, I either replied to it in the comments, or referenced the answer in a recent episode. Feel free to inquire why your question wasn't included, or ask the same question a second time if you think I may have missed it. I will edit your comment/question before reading it live to ensure the show moves as quickly as possible. I typically grab all the questions by midnight (PT) the night before each episode.
PERSONAL QUESTIONS
RADIOACTIVE MAGIC - What's the worst car accident you've been in? JONES - I lost control of a car driving north on the 405 freeway in LA leaving San Diego. It slammed into the center divider facing backwards and skidded down the freeway a bit, sending sparks up in the air. I walked away unharmed, and hours later got on a plane for a scheduled trip to DisneyWorld.
ZAK LEON - With a wonderful new child, how do you plan on introducing him to video games? What precautions, if any, will you take with the selections? Of course, games may include mild violence, spooky atmospheres, sexual themes etc. Thoughts? JONES - I think it would actually be a win (emotionally and financially) if he becomes focused on games as late in life as possible, so while he’s already interested in stuff we’ve been playing, like Animal Crossing, I want to try to introduce him to stuff he asks about, and not pick a designated time that we feel he should be interested in. I’m trying not to have too many goals when it comes to managing the entertainment he consumes, because I don’t want to be naive in thinking what I can and can’t prevent him from watching. It’ll be a learning process for both of us.
