Today, when the power was turned off in my house, I thought about the future. I thought not about my career or material well-being, but about my family. Family is a concept for a young man, from whom he either consciously or subconsciously, but still tries to stay apart. But it’s already established that the family is a necessary stage of normal social adaptation, so it awaits many of us.

And so I began to imagine that in about 5-10 years my girlfriend (wife) had a delay. Well, of course, at first it came as a shock to me, because soon a slobbering and sobbing something might squeeze into our already shaky relationship. A visit to the doctor soon confirmed my fears and they told us to wait. I lost my appetite and sleep. But my other half, on the contrary, lit up with happiness, which also influenced my opinion about the future for the better. I thought that maybe it really would be better this way and not otherwise. And began to wait with her.

Waiting for the birth of a child turned out to be much easier than, say, the release of Duke Nukem Forever, here no developers will delay the release date for more than a dozen years or transfer the project to another publisher, and besides, you don’t have to worry that the end result will be second-rate old-school shit.

On the day I gave birth, I didn’t regret buying a PS Vita.

Taught by the same bitter experience while waiting for the games to come out, I tried to skip the diaper-slobber period by playing Halva Deathmatch. Moreover, I explained all this to the mother of my child, by the fact that my role is to strengthen the character of our child, and not to worry about his cleanliness and satiety (In my fantasy, she accepted everything well, I don’t know how it will be in life).

When my son (and my daughter was never supposed to be born) turned three and a half years old, I began raising him, namely, I gave him an NES. Let him develop finger motor skills (by the way, the same part of the brain is responsible for it and for beautiful speech, so in this regard, the purchase will clearly not be the worst), besides, the NES is not Dandy, all the games are in English, so let him start learning the language at the same time.

When he turns seven (time flies very quickly with children) and he goes to school, then for good grades and homework done, I’ll let him play the third Diablo on his dad’s computer. Well, here, in fact, the goal is not educational, but purely selfish, for children the plot and gameplay are not so important, the main thing for them is that something beautiful happens on the screen if you press a button, so I will be able to download the Persian for BatelLog on dungeons in a single player.

At ten years old, for the first and last time I will beat him with a belt for saying at the table “Morrowind and Skyrim are shit”. Well, after thinking about my action, I will understand that I was wrong and that Skyrim probably really is shit.
During his teenage period, we will not communicate much, since he will start playing on consoles, but I only play on PC.

But when he’s already over 16, we’ll start talking again, we’ll get together at my place and play FIFA with a tit of beer 20__.
Well, when he starts a family himself and starts raising a son (he shouldn’t have a daughter either), I’ll drop in on them on weekends, and his family and I will play the third Kinect.

And my father is already a gamer, we play BF2 together, we take out entire squads together. And whenever he plays in the world of tanks, you should have seen how he swears at everyone and everything 🙂 And he also shouts: “I’ll be in a minute, you fascist pigs, I’ll smash you all with a fork!»
"You’re quiet, little tiger"
“Killed a schoolboy – saved the game”

That is, if you have a child, https://nokyccasinos.org.uk/review/madcasino/ you will force him to play from early childhood, ruin his eyesight and beat him because he does not like games? People like you shouldn’t have children.

Everything would be wrong. You would have drunk yourself 5 years after his birth. At 14 he would already hate you. And then depending on the circumstances.
Pointless and stupid

“and besides, you don’t have to worry that you’ll end up with second-rate, old-school crap."I would still argue with this.

Nowadays there are such children, so it is not known who will allow anyone else to say goodbye in Diablo 😀

Pfft, that’s the only way they played around with the folder with their platoon, when they lived in one apartment, but now I’ve moved to another and we won’t be able to form a platoon, he won’t want to waste time going on Skype, calling, playing. Pichal.
And in the second Diablo we only burned like this, in Zy-El, not this vanilla LoD, where there are five mobs for ten locations.

I have a friend who clearly combines fatherhood and gaming. There is a photo where he, sitting at the computer and playing WoW, rocks the crib with his daughter with one foot))

Thanks to the author for raising my spirits) How humorous the post is touching.
But for the father of my children to think the same way – no way)

Nah. these games, I will try to protect the child from this infection for as long as possible.
