Finding out that I can’t play most of my backlog or current games.
Elden Ring is out (requires too much attention and no pause!). Any Resident Evil and dead space are out (too scary, if I scream it’ll wake the baby). Gran Turismo is out (I get too angry playing that game).
Currently playing shadow of the tomb raider, and it’s perfect: relatively easy, calm, auto saves constantly, lots of cut scenes.
Almost done with it. Not sure what to pick up next!

Just an FYI, they start moving and wanting your attention by month 2-3. Enjoy those games while you can! They won’t just lay around for long and be for you know it, they are crawling around trying to grab your controller.
Grasshopper. Any Naughty Dog game should do.
Man, I remember my paternity leave. Had 5 weeks, planned on working on making a game. I learned pretty damn quick that when baby’s asleep, Daddy’s asleep.
Here before someone says “that’s not how you should hold a baby !”
I don’t know anything about it, exept that everyone has a different opinion on it XD.
BG3 is perfect for this. You can drop it and pick it up whenever. Not for everyone but got a lot of people into the genre and one a ton of awards last year.
You forgot to put quotes around the word “bonding”. The picture is just treating a baby as an environmental accessory.

You’re love of games won’t die, but you’re love for your kid will grow exponentially. You won’t worry so much about missed game time because it’s time with your kid.
You have a few months before that kid will start crying if you aren’t paying attention. It’s like, “oh…now what? You want to read a book, I guess.”
My old job (US) gave me a week off for paternity leave and had the nerve to ask me if I could come back early after 3 days.

I played a lot of Shadow Mordor during my first kids young time. Also when I picked up Rocket League. 5 minute matches pretty consistently so while their asleep in the swing or on me you are done pretty quickly when they wake up.
omg go to the doctor, there is some mysterious black thing on your faces! :-p
He looks just like you!
