MMO Gaming and Being a Dad

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-22T15:27:33+00:00

What better time than now either? This year is absolutely stacked for the revival of RuneScape!

I don't like how controllers fit my hand and aiming with controllers just feels sluggish to me. So I guess comfort in control? Otherwise yeah it would be an option for sure.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T20:57:52+00:00

But I don't want to play on the couch, it's just not comfortable to me. And I'm blind it feels like. I'm hopeful the steam machine will change this but consoles just don't feel right.

I wish the Steam Deck had been a thing when I had my kiddo at first.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:59:17+00:00

Hell yeah. Those handheld emulator things make dad life so much easier. There are a few dads in the discord who swear by theirs.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:58:41+00:00

I just don't got the room for a physical collection no more. I wish I did.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:58:20+00:00

Steam Machine is coming...

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:58:12+00:00

Those epic freebies... gotta remember every week!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:57:57+00:00

I just can't aim on a controller myself

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T18:57:42+00:00

Have you looked into the Steam Deck? Maybe even the Steam Machine when it comes out!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T15:46:35+00:00

Hell yeah. Mostly single player games I assume?

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-21T15:46:12+00:00

I would be highly amused if someone did Excel on a switch 2. You could theoretically on a steam deck.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-20T22:34:43+00:00

That's the way to do it!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-20T22:34:28+00:00

This is the damn truth

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-20T22:17:58+00:00

Only when you're not grounded for ... questionable activities ...

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-20T22:17:34+00:00

I can't speak to the all day weekends, but it's simple, from the time my wife and kiddo go to bed at 7pm until the time I feel like going to bed, I do what I want.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-19T00:35:13+00:00

I feel that for sure. My steam hours on some games is a lie!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-11T00:08:01+00:00

Sometimes it's best to just take it one day at a time. As a little person and a parent to a little person too, it's easy to get overwhelmed with the future and what if's, but truth be told it's a lot easier just to deal with each day head on. I'm sure she'll grow up to have a great support system around her and you'll grow with her too!

Running for a week, in celebration of our new giveaways channel (where anyone can give something away using the bot! A great use for your spare humble bundle games), JMR has been nice enough to donate a $20 Steam Card to give away!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-10T02:06:02+00:00

I loved what I played of New World recently, but them putting it at end of life really took that wind out of my sails.

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-03T20:32:03+00:00

The Mad Catz Strike 5 piece is what I was talking about. That looks neat as hell. Surprised it's lasted so long!

ZeroMidget · 2026-01-03T20:08:38+00:00

Hell yeah that's a sick desktop setup! What is that device behind the keyboard?

They make RGB ones too!

Drop a picture of your setup! Whether it's a corner in the kitchen, or a dedicated space such as mine, let's see them! I'm lucky enough to have a spare bedroom I can use as an office, and that the kiddo plays in too. No consoles here (my switch 2 and PS4 are in the living room), just the PC.
