    Hells yeah. 9 months is a great time, you get to see the end of the tunnel.

    As time goes by the chores drop off. Something to look forward to No more burping Neck is strong enough Solid foods become a thing Fewer bottles to clean No more bored baby Baby is moving, coasting, walking Self play! Words Smiles SLEEP Communicating needs reciprocated love DAYCARE lol

    Taking care of wife and baby was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s a selfless thing that is thrust on you. But we’re doing the good work.

    I have no regrets. Time does go by quickly, you only have a baby for one year, but it’s all about being in the moment, and the next.

    Two isn’t bad. 3 is awesome. About to experience 4. My daughter is full of love, happiness and wonder.

    Just a general shout out to all the dads out there. Take care of yourselves. Get sleep whenever you can. IT GETS BETTER.






  • Man, Star Control 2 was my favorite game to introduce friends to during the BBS days. Two player melee over a shared keyboard! The music in SC2 was top notch MOD/XM music back when trackers were starting to form a genre. Beeps on computers were the norm but you could hear a drum track over the internal PC speaker in this game. IMHO Tunic is the only game that came close to the wonder and awe of exploration and discovery. Absolutely a masterpiece.

    Babu’s game room has my favorite YouTube review. I’ll let the bot pipe the link

  • Everyone says ‘listen’ but I would suggest one way to act on that advice. This is more of a general parenting advice for small kids (or all kids?).

    Let them choose what to do. If their interested in soccer, give that a try. If they want to learn about ants, let them observe, guide them through the thoughts.

    Play is dictated by their interests, not your expectations or dreams. This way there is much less struggle, save for the times you really need, and learning and play get tied together.
