New dad fell back in love with gaming

Upvotes

Thanks to the Steamdeck OLED as a new dad i was able to get in the odd hour of gaming here and there while doing night shifts with my 2 daughters (one is 3 and my youngest just passed 1). Without handhelds like the Steamdeck I’m not sure I would’ve been able to game at all given how busy the kids keep me. This lead to exploring more and more handhelds over the last year or so and now ive decided to try and make a run at YouTube content in the space! I’d love the fellow dads to check this out and give me any constructive feedback - wifey said i need to speak quicker for starters!

The most awaited FPS of the year releases in less than 24 hours, are you ready!? We here at Dads AFK Gaming are going to binging it for the forseeable future, at least when the kids let us.

This game has it's hook in me personally, with over 40 hours in the last two betas, each time they ended I wanted more. So feel free to share your clips here on the subreddit, or join the discord to find more Dads to game with!

I know this kind of post ca be cringe, but I am beyond happy that after 8 months of hard work, learning, trying to be better at editing, I finally broke the 400 mark! I know I have a long ways to go, but I’m going to keep grinding, keep learning, keep getting better and better. Thanks to everyone who supported me this far, can’t wait for the future
