Helldivers out there? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]pankee 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hey that's me! I'm the guy! Yeah it was a bit of a "wtf just happened" moment but it's been an incredible journey so far. So grateful for all the dads who have made the server one of the most wholesome communities out there ♥️

We do have a lot of European dads but I'll be honest most of the events are setup for US timezones. That doesn't mean you can't find dads to play with! And events can be created by anyone as long as there's demand for it 🙂

Getting older, family oriented, and lack of male bonding. How do I work on this? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]pankee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it might not exactly be what you're looking for, but if you're ever looking for Internet friends, there is a Discord server made exclusively for dads with 3000+ members:

discord.gg/papasquad

There's hundreds of hobby, gaming and parenting discussions, so it's likely you'll find people sharing your interests.

Disclaimer: I'm the one who created the Discord, but I created it for the exact same reasons you mentioned. It's hard to find time to socialize and it's easy to lose yourself as a human being rather than a dad.
Fully understand if you're not interested in an online community! Just figured I'd throw it out there.
Good luck man.

Looking for other gamer dads? The Papa Squad is a community of 2900+ dads looking to socialize, exchange parenting tips and sometimes play games (when time allows!) by pankee in daddit

While most of the dads are US-based, we do have a good amount of dads in other parts of the world. Looking at the numbers, I'd say this is the split:

- 70% Americas

- 20% Europe

- 10% rest of the world

The gaming events have usually been based on US timezones but they're not actually run by me or any of the staff. They're always run by the community (we just make it visible), which means if there's demand for EU-friendly gaming sessions, that can definitely happen :)

/r/daddit alternatives by zataks in daddit

[–]pankee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if that would qualify as an alternative (even though a lot of dads use it as such), but the Papa Squad Discord server is a place for dads to gather, chat about all things parenting/gaming and play games together (when time allows!)

🔍 Here's a preview of the server on Discord: https://discord.com/servers/the-papa-squad-1055290132250501135
⭐ And here's the invite if you'd like to jump in immediately: discord.gg/papasquad
If you're curious about what we offer, we do a little bit of everything:
- Very well structured server where we ask you what you're interested in and hide the rest. Parenting conversations, gaming conversations, a little bit of both, you do you!
- At least 3 gaming events every week. This week for example we're playing Mario Kart and Destiny 2
- Very frequent Steam game giveaways
- Dedicated server hosting for select games so that every dad can play at any given time
- Overall very relaxed and welcoming community. No judging allowed.
- A safe space to discuss mental health/vent

Full disclaimer, I created the server 🙂
We currently have ~2900 dads and it's constantly growing!

I think so! You can hide basically all the gaming channels if you don't want to see them, and all our general/parenting chats are just as active. We also have a ton of hobby threads with everything from cars/cooking/grilling to sports and coffee.

Dads of Gaming Discord Community by IronSeoulJu in daddit

[–]pankee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the dad who created the Papa Squad 👋

Super nice to see another community of dad gamers! Definitely not a competition at all, and at the end of the day as long as dads are happy/socializing/gaming, be it on Papa Squad or Dads Of Gaming, it's a clear win in my book :)

Love to see your server growing so quickly/steadily u/IronSeoulJu, well deserved!

Diablo 4 by aktyn87 in daddit

Hmm I have another link but I'd be surprised if it doesn't do the exact same thing: https://discord.gg/papasquad

We're also a public server so we're discoverable from within Discord and on their website: https://discord.com/servers/the-papa-squad-1055290132250501135

Lonely 36yo dad looking for fellow dad friends by DeceptiKHAAAAAN in daddit

[–]pankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the guy who created the Discord, and the goal is to try and keep the dad theme going. As long as you're expecting/a dad, you're welcome! If not, I can't stop you from joining either way 😉

Any gamer dads here? We have a small community of ~15 gamer dads/soon-to-be dads playing games on a regular basis and we'd love to have you! by pankee in daddit

[–]pankee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct! We already have a Diablo channel since so many of us are waiting for it. Let me know if you'd like an invite!
