Gamers Welcome! I'm a dad and a Gamer. Balancing Ls where I can. Sharing how to juggle kids and quests in this strange new world. Expect game talk, dad life wins/fails and late night gaming chaos. Stick around if that's your vibe. 👇
Been a while since I've posted. Life kind of got extremely messy. So it looks like I will be restarting again.
New Game + on hard mode.
How do you handle relationship struggles when there are little ears around?
Had a nice little vacation with the family. Finally home and ready to catch up. Left all tech at the house and went camping/fishing. Just needed to reset away from everything.
What do you do for vacations? How do you reset?
I feel like this is going to be a good one! What are your thoughts?
I am all for Zach Cregger and have really enjoyed his previous work.
From Whitest Kids you know to this. If only Trevor Moore could see you now.
I generally enjoy a good zombie game.
Nothing like the undead to really get your blood flowing.
What's your favorite genre of game?
Zombies? Shooters? Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Medieval?
Happy Hump day.
I just started playing Skyrim again because my kids are really into watching. I treat it like a Goosebumps choose your scare book.
"Should we Join the Empire or the Stormcloaks?"
"A mage college invited us. Should we go?"
What's your current game and why?
Sleeping Techniques: For Fathers who game.
1. Don't - It's impossible anyway. Too much to do, not enough hours in the day.
2. Seriously Don't - It gives you more hours to do.
On a serious note. How many hours do you get of sleep a night? I'm averaging about 5.
Sunday Funday:
Nintendo Switch with the kids. PSVR after.
Today's games.
Mario Kart 64 and BeatSaber.
Take out for dinner..
Probably Chick-fil-A.
Do you have family fun days as well?
What do you do that's special?
Made pulled pork sliders for dinner today. Unfortunately my kids asked me what pork is and I stupidly said pig. 💀
Let me tell you.. what a struggle to get them to eat after.
Are your kids picky/difficult with food? 🐖🥦
How do you get them to eat?

If I were my headset. I'd have my battery light flashing red.
Nothing quite like staying up a little too late on a winstreak only to catch the L in the morning. Total Zombie.
Luckily the kids love Bluey and today is Saturday. Caffeine save me.

Why I play Skyrim during the day? Because it pauses. Life happens and is more important.
The brotherhood can wait. Your kids and spouse should not.
Anything that cannot pause, gets played when the kids are in bed.
How do you balance #GamingDaily and #fatherhood ?

If I could just be completely honest with you all.
One of my biggest insecurities as a Dad that Games is..
I haven't played a sports video game since Madden '04.
Before that was Blitz2000. 💀
Do you play Sports Games? 🏈🏀⚾️⚽️?

So Dads.. Do you let your kids game online🎮?
Why yes or why no?
When do you think is a good time to let them online?
What is okay for them to play ?

7 Days to Die got its full release and it feels like a completely different game. Played it back on PS4 in early access years ago. Thinking about jumping back in.
Any other dads out there who’ve tried the 1.0 version? Worth the revisit?

Quick one for the squad:
What’s a game you keep coming back to no matter how old you get?
For me it’s still Skyrim. 2000+ hours and I’m still finding new stuff. That game just hits different.
Drop yours below — let’s see what gets replayed 👇

Everyone Should Read the last line again.
Never have I read something more on point.
No, it doesn’t make sense at all.
Live-Service games have to do something different than the rest, stand out in order to have some kinda fanbase around it.
It’s incredibly risky and the percentages of success is extremely low because gamers don’t have the fucking time and money to support every live service game they see.
Not to mention these games be half baked ideologically sloppy ugly messes.
The reality is these studios and mostly “upper management” wanna just bank on something easy and not put in the effort into making it a unique experience.
🌙 Day wrap-up:
Today's Win: Got both of my kids to brush their teeth without arguing. Had to let them brush mine though.
Today's Lesson: Kids brush teeth way too hard.
Grateful for: Having healthy kids and food to eat everyday.
What was your biggest win today? Share below!
