As a younger father i can confidently say that that plan was doomed anyway, between diaper changes, feeding, orchestrating the day and various parents events there are maybe 2 hours of personal time that get eaten up by shores. Except, child neglect, that would free up time
That’s why you gotta learn to feed and hold the controller at the same time lmao
I’ve got a 5.5mo and I still haven’t figured it out…this point she’s going to learn to hold her bottle before I figure it out. The chin hold is only temporary because she likes to wiggle.
I played a buncha Vampire Survivors around that phase lol, just need one hand for the controls. Football cradle baby, hold bottle in that same hand (does require some wrist flexibility), other hand & arm free.
That hold doesn’t help with wiggles of course (and maybe you already use it) but at least you can pause VS.
Yeah, I got that hold it’s how I eat but not good enough for gaming for me. Maybe I could try less actiony games but oh well.
Can confirm. Lack so much sleep the times i finally have some free time i just stare at my rgb lights instead because i cant muster the energy to use my arms on the keyboard/controller.
I played the entirety of GTA V with a newborn in my arms. Same for Fallout 4.
If I was awake, I was on baby duty so mom could get sleep, and I was going to be damned if that meant staring at the ceiling.
I used to put my kiddo in a bouncy seat next to me while I gamed. Not a lot of time to game, but worked it in.
Lol, when the fuck do you think gaming is going to fit into the parental leave? During your 30ish minutes of respite between feedings and exhausted to all hell, or during the off shift time where you’re greedily getting every bit of sleep you can?
This is the plan of a man who has not had his first child yet
Good! Go take care of your wife and your kid.
Wait until your wife changes her release date
