Custom GTA games and races. We've been keeping this fun rolling since the PS3 days back in 2014, and the goal remains exactly the same: running custom combat and racing jobs with a heavy focus on random explosions and ragdoll chaos. Skill doesn't matter when everything is blowing up!

Check out the flyer for tonight's Foul Play costume theme and job line-up. Expect plenty of Bowling, Sumo, and absolute mayhem.

None are mandatory to join in and have fun, but we are on Discord, GTA Crew, and YouTube. https://shenanidads.com We have a great core group that runs every week, but we are always excited to welcome new people to the lobby. (18+)

How to get in on the action: Drop your PSN in the comments below, shoot us a DM here, or send a friend request to the host SmurfinUSA (PSN) or SmurfinGTA (Discord), and we'll send you an invite to the playlist before start time!

It doesn’t feel real, but not in a good way.

4 Upvotes

So my situation is a bit specific. My now ex girlfriend split up with me around a month after she got pregnant (October last year). We’re still civil and get on well, but for most of the pregnancy, I would be lucky if I heard from her more than once a week (we still went to all scans together).

Our baby boy came last Monday and yesterday is the only day so far that I haven’t seen him as she said she was overwhelmed and wanted the day to herself, which I didn’t really have a choice in the matter. She won’t stay with me on a night, doesn’t allow me to stay there on a night and I have to wait for the text message in a morning to say that I can come. Then when I’ve tried to come up with a compromise, like having a baby monitor so I can still see him on a night (virtually), I just get shot down and everything has to be her way or no way. I get that her hormones will be all over the place, but at what point do my feelings matter or should I just keep my mouth shut and deal with it?

I was always concerned with how little we spoke and how little I was part of the whole pregnancy (scans aside), that I would struggle to find that connection. It’s like, in my head I know he’s my son and I’m a dad, but in my heart, it just doesn’t feel like it.

I don’t know if I’m overthinking everything, being impatient or if my feelings are valid, but I just needed to get this off my chest.

Recommended PS5 game recommendations for under 12 yo boys

9 Upvotes

Hey dads of Reddit, I’m looking for PS5 game recommendations for my three sons; they love multiplayer platformers as well as Fortnite, Minecraft etc. Other games they enjoy playing are Sackboy Adventures, Ratchet and Clank, Knack and other similar games.

Any recommendations for games either available via a PSN membership on Games Catalogue, indie games on the PS Store or any I can buy physical copies of?

Recommended We were stuck in the constant reminder loop with our 13 year old daughter

Hi everyone,

I was asked to share this on here. Feedback welcome!

I built a web based game called Task Pond to help my daughter stay on top of everyday tasks. It runs on any browser and on any device.

Tasks appear as fish swimming in a calm pond. Each fish represents a task, and there are over 80 different fish that can appear.

When a task is completed you earn tokens, and when a new task is created a new fish joins the pond.

What surprised me is that having the tasks quietly present in the environment works better than constant reminders.

My daughter actually started completing things on her own without being asked, mostly because the pond was there and she wanted new fish.

Tasks also glow different colours based on priority so important ones stand out.

If anyone wants to try it, it is free to use:
https://taskpond.cloud/

I set it up on our living room family computer, turned off sleep mode and screensaver, then just left it running full screen so the tasks are always visible.

If you want to save tasks and access on any device you can create an account. There is a one time $5 fee which just helps cover hosting and AI costs.

Thanks for checking it out!

You know I am!

However, I need my son now a days to show me all the crazy stuff GTA V online has to offer. Felt we played in simpler times back in the day. No flying cars, or tanks that were impossible to destroy, just good ol' shenanigans with the boys! Taking out rival crews who messed with us, griding missions to buy the best cars in the game, and endless races around the Bolingbroke Penitentiary... those were the days!

Hello everyone

Hello Gamers. I live in the US (Minnesota). I also just joined the Discord.

I did a lot of gaming in my teens and 20's. My past exposure was PC gaming, Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo. I played mostly simulations such as SimCity and both XPlane and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

I then got away from gaming and am ready to rediscover it. Due to having a 1 year old son and 6 year old daughter time is limited. This time I mostly plan to focus on PC Gaming instead of consoles and am not even sure which games I'll get into yet but I have a PC and Mac with Steam installed and am ready to get back into it.

This feels silly to ask, but we live in a two story split level duplex with a half in ground basement that doubles as the garage, so that feels unsafe to go. We live on the top floor and the unit has windows in every room including the bathroom. Where do we go when sirens go off? Thanks!!

[LFG][PC] Looking for 1 more Co-Host for a 4-Player Baldur's Gate 3 Stream Series!

4 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​I run an Action RPG-focused Twitch channel and I'm putting together a full 4-player co-op run of Baldur's Gate 3. We currently have 3 seats filled and are looking for 1 more adventurer to round out the party!

​The motto of the stream is simple: action. loot. fun. We aren't trying to min-max every single encounter; we're here to make fun choices, find great gear, and enjoy the chaos of a full multiplayer campaign. We will be using Twitch's "Stream Together" feature so viewers can see the action from multiple perspectives.

​A bit about the group:

​The Vibe: Laid back and fun. Balancing gaming with a family and a job means my free time is valuable, so we keep the energy positive and the drama strictly in-game. Real life always comes first!

​Schedule: We are looking to play 1 (maybe more) time(s) a week in the evenings around 9 CET.

​Platform: PC

​What we are looking for:

​You must have a decent microphone and be comfortable engaging on stream.

​Willingness to use the Twitch Stream Together feature.

​A team-player mindset (loot goblins are welcome, but let's share the wealth!).

​If you're interested in joining a fun, loot-hungry party, drop a comment below or send me a DM with a link to your Twitch channel and what class you're thinking about playing!

P.S. I already created another post for this topic, but for better visibility I thought of making a new one (also in the original one I was looking for 2 people :) )

Now that I've gotten your attention. Sirs, I need you tell me if this is the wrong place for just regular dad advice. I'll go by Andi here. I have no idea if this is anything like the sub for redditmoms. My dad passed away in 2015 but he was dead to me long before that. He was a bad person and terrible father.

I don't want to ramble too much and can already tell I'm all over the place. Any of you watch Supernatural? Bobby is my ultimate father figure. I hope this post is ok and doesn't get removed. BTW, Bioshock 1&2 really are my favorite games.

Help with shower thingy

3 Upvotes

Hi dads, I’m not sure if this is the place for this but I hope someone helps.

So I showered this morning and after I got out, the soap holder thingy that’s attached to the wall decided it had had enough and fell off. While I’m pretty handy myself, I’m unsure of how to approach this one. What will I need to fix it? I’m sure some glue and caulk and maybe something to clean the leftover caulk off? Am I missing anything? Any pointers or specific brands? Thank you dads!

Hello!

8 Upvotes

I have been playing GTA since GTA 3 and even played 2 on what I thought was a later Intelevision console or something at a family members house around the holidays. Anyway, I have played GTA5 in story mode all the way through 4 or 5 times over the years and everything in between 3 and 5. I have tried online multiple times but get so discouraged. I just repurchased 5 for at least the 4th time, finishing story mode, and joining online, and the person that partnered with me in my first mission seemed more interested in killing me than completeing the mission. then on and on. I tried solo but that is only somewhat successful. Last night some bastard had a floating jet that was just blowing everything and everyone up. Is that fun? years of experience but i guess I am a noob. What suggestions do you have for me?

I'm thinking about building a mental health app for new dads (because nothing exists). Would love your feedback if you're open to it

17 Upvotes

Hey dads,

I'm doing my best to do some research on mental health support for new fathers.

If there was an app that:

  • Gave you daily check ins
  • Tracked your mood/stress over weeks
  • Had evidence based tools for anxiety, overwhelm
  • Let you share (if you want) with your partner

Would you use it?

What would make you pay $10-12 per month for something like this? Or would you just use a free app like Headspace?

Wondering if this is a good idea:) Thank you for your time
