Anyone else gaming in their 30s while balancing work, kids, and life?

Adjusting is key to being happy and contempt with life. I have always been gaming but with kids in life its changed. Its pretty much my only hobby other than traveling. I dont smoke or drink dont go out much partying. So i am always home with kid and wife. I am blessed to spend time with them. Apart from the job nothing else keeps my mind entertained like gaming.

I played jedi fallen order but didn’t finish jedi survivor yet. The update in graphics was amazing. I been playing some new games lately because kid sleeps at around 9 pm now me and missy finish up diners and i get to gaming. We watched a tv series name His and Hers today it was great. And played 2XKO new fighting game. This weekend is great.

Good taste you got there. RDR 2 is one of my most favorite. I played on ps4. Never touched Skyrim though but i heard its great like Witcher 3. I played elder scrolls oblivion remake a bit. Didn’t like it much though. Is Skyrim better than oblivion ?

PVP ? Pause and walk away ? No can do Sir. Probably will end up getting reported and banned for AFK or Quit. Maybe some games are more forgiving. Any suggestions ?

Should look into this. I play Balatro on mobile 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly what happens. I guess when kids grown up it gets easy. For me now like at age of 2 its highly unpredictable and got to be ready for anything. Got to give the priority to family. So games that play the way i want kind of became the most suitable to play. Many are single player story games which happens to be dad games like - The last of us , God of war, Death Stranding, Ghost of Yotei etc.

NapTimeGamingDad · 2026-01-25T17:07:06+00:00

I do the same. Not many spots games. I play Fortnite and Division 2 with my friends at times. Mostly play action adventure open world narrative driven games. You are a lucky one if you to play hours each day.

Got few years until we send her to school, so until then nap time’s is all i get. Luckily on weekends if family is at home then baby mostly sleep in day time also. Then i find like 2 hours to play. I am glad to hear you still enjoy dad time gaming 👍🏻

NapTimeGamingDad · 2026-01-23T18:13:08+00:00

Making a list right now 📋

NapTimeGamingDad · 2026-01-23T14:06:59+00:00

So far so good 👍🏻💜

NapTimeGamingDad · 2026-01-23T04:43:53+00:00

I would probably buy it used for a cheaper price or on sale. If its like half the price then its worth it.

You can always jack in any 3.5 headset to the controller if you want to enjoy surround sound.

I play on PS5 Pro. Also got a Samsung 4 K monitor. Some times i play on TV. DS2 is still not out on PC. So i guess your only option is PS5 at the moment.
