A subreddit dedicated to providing a welcoming environment for mature gamers to gather and discuss, free from the annoyance of Squeakers, trolls and people who don't understand the responsibilities of adults, parents and the perils of being in 3D.

Crew Created Content super thread - add yours now!

Reddit Dads was created to group together individuals who were on similar time restraints, due to being an active parent, which limits the time and energy we have to collectively play social games online.

We filter out the children/bad players. Having a child is not a requirement for the crew but if you live with your parents, there are crews already made for you.

We support PS3/PS4, Xbox360/Xbone, PC through Steam, as well as mobile gaming.

Upgrading my PC and looking for new Dad friendly games

Excited to upgrade my 10 yr old gpu from a GTX 980 to an RX 7800XT.

Now I have a 4 month old and can't sink hours into a game at a time. I will realistically have sporadic and random 15, 30, or 60 minute windows, maybe twice in a week or once every 2 weeks.

Also knowing I may need to pause/ quit suddenly at any moment.

Any recommendations on some games that might fit the bill for being a low commitment good time?

Podcast discussing gaming in later life

Hey Gaming Dads and others,

My friend and I have started a podcast to discuss the growing population of folks who are, or soon will be, gaming in their retirement years. We reckon this will make a whole new market segment for the games industry. The podcast is called Horace Goes Podcasting: For Gamers with Pong Memories. The first three episodes are on Spotify, Amazon, Apple and Pocket Casts (happy to set it up in other sites too). Here is the Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/show/3KDoKJUj7YyAhU8HZlXtMK?si=129270c406f44c18

We'd love to get feedback on the content and for folks to join in the discussion about different kinds of games or content; how gaming styles or likes change through life; growing community through gaming in retirement; plus a load of nostalgia about gaming in the 80s, 90s and onwards (we've even mentioned the 70s too).

Give us a go!

Video games to build brain processing power

Guys - Pls keep reading to the end because this is a thread about video games

in NYC, we don't have real bike lanes but rather just markings on the streets and some streets have partition cones but cars come onto them anyways. This means teaching a 8yr old to bike safely is challenging, even with a child who's quick, can maneuver swiftly. Keeping reasonable distance from parked cars, watching not just left/right but left-rear and right-rear for cars ignoring rules, seeing when lights specific for bike lanes turns red, watching pedestrians who suddenly come onto the street, lots of action! My child's not been doing too well - no major mistakes but I see him miss a few things that could lead to risks on the road. I know it comes with age but have you ever considered any specific video games to build greater awareness and also be able to process multiple inputs at once? I've kept video games out of the house and kids only get it at friend's homes but reconsidering that. If you have specific titles and also a console recommendation, I'd appreciate that - Thanks!

This was a great fucking group

Felt a little nostalgic and read through some old posts. Can't believe this shit was ten years ago. I've got really nothing else to say but that I miss this group.

Minecraft Server - 1.21 Java and Bedrock

Hello,I am hosting a minecraft server that I spun up a few weeks ago. We have a good amount of fun plugins but it is a semi-vanilla world. The info for the server is listed on the website! I hope to see you guys there!This server supports both Bedrock and Java. We also have a shopping district and have an economy. Sell things to make money or buy from the Bank or other players shops. Lots of other fun things to do!

DM me for server details

Game swap

Was wondering if there are any sites or places where we can swap games that we’ve finished? I just finished ghosts of Tsushima on ps5 and wanted to get another game. It’s a rip off to sell and buy with GameStop and I’d rather just swap it for another older game as I’ve not played most of the games in the past 10+ years. Maybe something like Skyrim or grab or something along those lines. Any ideas?

To be dads

As the days grow closer, I can’t be the only one that has become way more emotional. Right?

It’s starting to be a little much. Due in August

Looking for Minecraft Server

Hi All, this is my first time posting on r/RedditDads and just joined today. But I am currently looking to join a Minecraft Java server where it is people that have the same time constraints as me with regards to the kids/demestic duties.

I have played on a couple of open public servers and they are a little bit too fast paced and populated with a mix of grade school children to adults. I often get along with the adults that I meet on there, but it is geared towards being on constantly which is impossible.

So, looking to see if any parents have laidback servers running where you can hop on once or twice a week, and chat with some adults.

Cheers and thanks for taking the time to check out my post. Hope to connect with some Minecrafters.

Yeah, I've been off, lately....

I've just been in a very rough mental state, the last few weeks, with a lot going on....

I know I shouldn't be, as very little of it actually affects me directly, but you know me...I overthink EVERYthing!

Maybe I'm just in a gaming rut, which doesn't make a lot of sense, but it would certainly explain some things; I'd try a few new titles, but not much out there really grabs my attention....

I just don't...deal with stress well...being Autistic, and all; starting to seriously consider something my primary care physician talked to me about and getting onto a generic form of Strattera...wouldn't even be that pricey, honestly, but I keep asking myself if it's worth a lot of the questions I may get asked when people know.

Trying to not ramble, but there's a lot going on in my head, and I dunno how to properly get it out, ugh....

We are warring with you in Clash of Clans today

Hey there, I thought it was cool that we got matched with another Reddit clan. As another Reddit dad, I thought I'd drop in to say hi. Based on the matchup I think you will wipe us out, but have fun!

Rainbow 6 siege

Any dads here play R6 on PC? Got back into the game due to a recent work injury that gave me some time off and only have my brother to play with (only weekends due to opposite work schedules). I'm back to work and can pretty much play whenever I'm done with work at 3pm CDT. I'm 25 and looking for someone to play with consistently. Drop them steam/discord names if interested

Any dads playing HD2? This game has me in an actual chokehold but my former gaming group doesn’t play. Would like to find a few folks to run with consistently. 37y/o, mic preferred, I’m usually on around 9-11pm central time.

My PS Id is Crazywolf450r, and my helldivers friend code is: #2221-1725

madden fantasy league

(xb/ps) (7/32) real relax league as of right now there’s no rules against trading or playing with the computer. it is a fantasy draft league and it is week 3

This is NOT a super competitive league, but I would like to make it s super active league.

ideally i think a 48 hour Sim league is long enough. meaning after every 48 hours I will simulate (at 9 PM EST on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday)

32 team user leagues are very hard to run, but if everybody just gets on once a day at night or once every other day at night, it should be easy enough

I do have some friends in Denver and Detroit that are working on different time schedules so please, DM me for passwords and discord so you can schedule your night games and get your discord member bonus.

All skill levels are welcome! as of right now, the people in this league are fairly new, and just getting back into the mode of playing madden for the first time in a couple of years.

Alone but Not Alon

I'm sharing this feeling as a dad feel free to tweak, You know that feeling when you're at home after a busy Shindig and you've offloaded everything out of the vehicle including the partner and the Off-spring as you've finished settling into your clean home(side note: Try your best and Leave the house Clean especiallyif you'regoing away the feeling of returning to a Clean House or a Space you know you cleaned well) you've finished packing the leftover bevys into the places and you look back, Everyone is Napping, there's a Lull in the home its like a state of suspended animation. I'm Wide awake and a Nap is a Great idea but this Peace and Aloneness I don't know...

Just sharing.

Also... Do You Think the world is Going to Fuck Out. Like I'm a feelings type of Guy but whats going on in the world right now? Like 1 part of me is Like nah Bro it's just the big Machine trying to scare you and keep you scared and Dumb. The other side is Like Yo, These Motherfuckers are Going at It, This could get bad.

O.k., THIS is odd....

Wow...literally 25 failed attempts to get into my Microsoft account over the last 3 hours from a single location in a region/state called Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany; all IPs involved tracing to the exact same latitude and longitude, and nearly the same one that's been making repeated attempts on an irregular basis over the last 3 or so months; again I've got 2FA on, and I know I'm safe(email and phone notifications for failed attempts and new logins from unfamiliar locations), but I'm wondering what set off this onslaught of attempts....

Suspect some kind of bot-net, but who knows.... shrug

edit

There's a pattern to the current/ongoing wave...; attempt is made every 4 minutes for a period of 28 minutes...it pauses for 30 minutes, then restarts...got to be some kind of automated system.

Again, the account is very safe and secure, but jeez, who/what did I get the attention of??
