another father reporting in...have a 1 year old son that sleep late at night around 12am...

started gaming when i was around 6-7 years old? using those mini-tablet game...the game concept is just going left right and making sure u catch all the falling down from the sky or something like that...lol
then super genius came into the picture wif street fighter, ninja turtle, mario, etc
real pc gaming only started at my early teenager years wif pentium 166mhz - CnC, KKND, Diablo, etc...
touch a bit playstation1, gameboy, famicom or something like that...
i guess my childhood gaming experience is much less the same like u guys...

now as a working adult wif a once-casual-gamer-wife (whom i pulled her in during our dating times) and a hyperactive 1year old kid
, my PC gaming session has been reduced tremendously...mostly bcoz my PC is my at mother house, while i'm now staying at my wife's parent house (long offtopic story)
but are now awaiting for my new house to complete renovation...then hopefully i resume back my PC gaming life in full-throttle

still every weekend i do visit my mum's house and get to play one-two hours before i dooze off on the seat...
i guess my old age also partly affects my gaming session...
other than that - i do have 3ds, psv, ipad, handphone to fulfill my gaming addiction...

ohhh and i just bought a 960gpu, which i intend to install into my rig after moving into my new house and to enjoy witcher3 later on... and now that i'm back to upgrading my rig...i discovered many new techs that im not aware of for a long time...

anyway, in my new house i have dedicated a small private room just for my gaming session...
my wife knows about it and doesnt make any noise about it...yet.
really hoping my house to complete soon and i can move in and start gaming again....or not...

and for my son - at the moment, he is grabbing every 'shiny' gadgets i hold in my hands...if he couldn't get it - he'll cry and yell...
a problem i pray would not get worse as he gets older...

as some father gamers up there has mentioned. its all about selfcontrol and moderations...

at least i no longer play game until the next morning like i used to in my early adulthood. then again...its not like i dun wan to but i find myself couldnt stay so late anymore. the force of the bed is too strong for me now....

try to rest more bro....i know personally two guy - one in his early 30s another in his 60s, had a sudden heart attack and pass away. both of them sleep less every night due to pc gaming/internet browsing...

they both dun drink and smoke.

if any of you guys noticed it, lowyat.net did feature on the frontpage a father who introduce his kid when he was still young 4-5 years old? to gaming world...but right from the beginning. i mean those pacman, prince of persia, 80s game...and slowly upgrade to 90s and 20s game...

by the time he was around 10years old? or younger...cant really recall now...he managed to beat spelunky in hell mode. i didnt play that game but from what i learnt...its a pretty hardcore game...

and he enjoy difficult game (as shown in his father's instagram) and the satisfaction when he manage to beat it...

unlike nowadays kids (and even some adults like me ) who enjoy dumbdown game...and some even uses cheat to beat a game...

Gong Xi Fa Chai to all the parents who celebrate CNY...

i managed to spent few hours on my PC last weekend. but when i revisit back some of the old games like TorchLight2, i feel like i lost touch of it...i forgot why i spent skill points of those skills...or where should i spent my next skill points to....

and when i play Skyrim - i feel like i need to spent a good half day to really immerse myself into it...same goes for Divine Divinity...

sigh....cant wait to move to my new house...where i should be able to spend longer time to immerse myself into all my long abandon game...
