She’s just enjoying the last bit of joy before that child sucks all it out of her life.

Kids are annoying and trying at times, but until you have your own kid it’s impossible to understand how rewarding they can be.

That’s not true.

I grew up in a huge family and did a ton of parenting without my consent. I know exactly what it’s like.

Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don’t choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.

homoludens,

AFAIK it’s not so much “flesh and blood”, but more about accepting the responsibility of being a parent.

unless you’re in the 10% of parents who regret having children.

Of course she won; she had a literal second set of hands to help her. It’s the same reason that Goro is the best character in MK. I obviously never win when I play as Goro, but that’s because everyone else is cheaters.

She was just feeding the baby it wasn’t cheating!

To what???

“I’m still recovering from a brutal c-section that almost resulted in a rupture (but went well because my surgeons are goated). Glad that I left the house and it gave us a small idea of how to gauge bringing our daughter to tournaments and travel. She was actually chill.”

Feels like every “make me a sandwich” asshole [G]amer on earth just got humbled.

I know it’s “just a local” but as someone with a history in (very technical & skill-based) competitive gaming during my youth: mad respect

When the baby is that small, it’s the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be “on call” if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!

I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.

Same. I played FPS games and caught up on my streaming backlog while my first slept on me. I didn't imagine that I'd be able to do stuff like that.

Idreamofcheesy,

I finished Netflix during night feeds for the first 6 months of my son’s life.

TwentySeven,

You finished Netflix? Impressive.

damnedfurry,

It was a 4-person tournament, what kind of prize pool do you think that’s going to have? lol

GargleBlaster,

And that’s with a $50 entering fee

Rooster326,

So whoever put on the contest made $50 * 4 = 200 - 28 $172‽

I've been meaning to try one of these lofi late night shift at a retail store horror games.

Not sure which one to try though, there are multiple with their own specific hooks.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

This one was fun with friends. I saw a YouTuber a few years ago play one that also looked interesting but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.

I wouldn’t mind one of these that looks like it’s going to pan out to be a horror game but then just is a regular Late Shift game

The husband was one of her victims in the tournament too, so everyone in the house should be wary of crossing her.

damnedfurry,

It looks like she was playing in these events all throughout her pregancy, including a win at 7 months.

Do not get the Razor! I got one and have had nothing but problems and now it flat out just doesn’t work. I bough the 8bitdo equivalent and it’s awesome. amzn.eu/d/b1tmLi9, neither are that compact though. It looks like there are a fair few recommendations so I’m sure you’ll find something, just dont get the Razor.

The new MCON seems to be the best solution currently available.

zaxter,

Oh that’s very interesting, thank you for posting this. Seems like it’s only preorder for now and a tad expensive, but definitely something I’ll keep an eye on.

Gamesir hasn’t done wrong by me yet. I can recommend the x5 lite over what you posted for size factor alone. I got a little case for it on the cheap and it can fit in sweatpants pockets (though not jeans). I think the bluetooth x2 comes with an even smaller case for free, though i prefer the usbc connection for pass through charging.

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Looking for controller recommendations

I too have been looking for something like this, for quite a while actually, and have been unable to find anything that is suitable. The 8Bitdo Micro looked great except it didn’t have thumbsticks, and anything else was either way too big to be pocketable, or didn’t have the proper amount of controls. Also, I would especially prefer something that keeps the device horizontal.

I did look at the GameSir Aileron X4, which seemed like a decent option but it seems too big to fit in my pocket. Has anyone tried this controller before?

I shall watch this thread closely.

If you already have a BT controller (like any modern console’s controllers) you could just get a thing that lets you attach the phone to that controller. That’s what I did. They can be purchased for cheap, or printed yourself if you have a 3D printer.

Drusas,

Sounds hard to fit in a pocket....

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Cargo pants usually have big enough pockets 🤷‍♂️

Drusas,

Those have been a little out of fashion since something like circa 2005.

@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Utility never goes outta fashion. 😤

Drusas,

Oh, I'm with you. I just recognize that I can be very unfashionable. But pockets!

Depending on what you’re emulating, the 8BitDo ultracompact options might work for you:

https://infosec.pub/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.8bitdo.com%2Fcdn%2Fshop%2Ffiles%2F3_49966e77-7651-45b1-bf57-806771da3f26.jpg%3Fv%3D1736417576

8BitDo Micro

Basically turn your phone into a Gameboy, good for 90s games where you don’t need sticks. The controller and clip together will cost you $35.

urata,

I have an 8bitdo zero 2 that I’ve had for a few years.

I kept it on my key chain for a long time. It would be in my pocket for 8 hour workdays in which I worked outside and got wet. It still works despite having been through all that.

I used to stick my phone to a magnetic mount in my car sometimes and used the controller to play emulated games. Nowadays I use a retro handheld or a steam deck.

I recommend 8bitdo very highly in general. Most of their controller feel really solid and completely nail the retro aesthetic they are copying.

The zero 2 isn’t like that though. It feels cheap and light, but it has held up well.

zaxter,

I actually had an 8BitDo Zero 2 a while back, but lost it. That was my first attempt at finding a solution for gaming on my phone, but didn’t like how I had to either prop my phone up with something or lean over a table to see my screen. I didn’t know about that clip-on device, though! If I can find the controller I lost, this will certainly be the cheapest solution for me. Thanks!
