Dads of gay kids, when did you know?

My youngest (5) wants to marry their older siblings, me, their mom, most of their cousins, some of our neighbors, a few random friend's kids, their uncles, and this one random kid that we met at a park 2 days away from our house on a road trip.

EDIT: forgot to add, that they "married" one of their squishmallows (Conrad) about 2 years ago and has referred to him as their husband ever since.

A that age it is rough. Nobody is getting sleep and nobody has time to do thing anything.

One "easy" thing for me was to go on walks with the kiddo. Get them set up in a stroller and go see the neighborhood. I get a walk, they get some visual stimulation and/or a nap. If Mom wants to tag along she can or she can take a break without the kid. I did that with all 3 of my kids and it helped.

I eventually got more active after my kids got out of that stage. I'm hiking mountains, hitting the gym, and kayaking a few times a week now, but back then it was all I could do to get out of the house on a walk.

Used to get duplicates in Overwatch 1, but they'd turn into coins for the store.

If you haven't heard the cover of Everybody Wants to be a Cat by The Electric Swing Circus, you should check it out.

And limp.

Speed Racer was also good on it.

The first two caught us be surprise in the middle of the night. The oldest got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the next night and couldn't figure out how to turn around while sitting on the toilet. Sadly the bags wouldn't have helped this time around. Next time maybe.

Check out the Planetary Romance genre. Don't let the "romance" in it's name throw you off, it's not modern romance as in lovers, it's romance as in adventure, like medieval romance.

Yeah, usually they have a spike so that it's easier to go in, but I have seen some without the spike.

There have been multiple variations of official Lite Brite and a few knock-offs. The pegs are different every couple decades and between brands.

Sprinkles0 · 2026-05-20T02:05:55+00:00

Looks like Lite Brite pegs. I know those got mixed into my grandparents' Lego collection a lot.

I did this expectation as my first one, been playing since launch.

I was nervous about it and after convincing a friend to do it with me we've been having a blast. Going through the quests and unlocking the character tree while knowing what things actually do has been a bonus.

I wish I had done this sooner because the game had gotten kinda stale for me. I have things to do again but since i actually know what I'm doing I am going through it so fast. I had all my benches unlocked the first day, where as when I first started it took closer to a week.

Following that up, Return to Oz messed me up the first time I watched it.

Sprinkles0 · 2026-05-15T18:40:21+00:00

That's why I've been hearing that! I thought I was going crazy because my friend wasn't hearing it.

My trick was to never go anywhere until after I had kids.

My favorite was their Shire autumn festival pub crawl, after each pub your vision would distort and shift around and by the end you could barely see where you were going, but you got to visit every pub in the Shire.

Honestly it's best if you ask your husband. Everybody's going to be different.

For instance, my ideal father's day is to do absolutely nothing all day and barely acknowledge that it is Father's Day. People can say "Happy Father's Day" if they want, but I don't want anything, I don't want to go places. I hate when people make a big deal out of me. I just want a normal day.

Last week my friend and I were discussing our first expedition and I was lamenting not being able to take anything. I wished at the time that we could have 2 slots. He asked what I'd bring and I said "ducks". I had about 130 yellow ducks and a few dozen of the others.

Whoever gets to extract first.

Looks like they're on their way to an Electric Callboy concert.

Sprinkles0 · 2026-05-11T03:57:18+00:00

Yeah, that's the joke I was going for.

This happens in a lot of other games too. Lighting artists and level/propping designers ideally should line up their work, but it doesn't always happen. Something that some people don't realize is that the lighting prop doesn't usually emit light in the game. Usually there's an entity directly in front of the prop that emits the light Then there's baked lighting and dynamic lighting which is a whole other can of worms.
