You are way ahead of the usual lazy fuck parents who just sit on their phone while their kids scamper off. Your kids will remember how you were a good parent, always having fun with you, and won't complain as much when it's their turn to change YOUR diapers :P

My parenting method is...
Notice what's different compared to AAA studios now? Pride(no not that kind) in showing off their work, treating it like a hobby, seeing how far and where they can push it to. It's why indie games have made a huge push recently.
Which Pimax do you have, and how do you like it?
I almost pre-ordered the Pimax Dream Air but questions on when it would ship, and the weird 'charge you extra for a service ..thing' on their website wasn't clear so I backed out for now.
Prep was a non issue for me. Maybe it was years of swimming in swamps as a kid (swim and you drink some, it's unavoidable) and eating dirt, and my surviving gut bacteria are combat hardened. I was deployed to El Salvador once and was the only one who didn't get the runs.
All I had to do...
I did similar on previous TLEs. I would farm troll guards. They severely nerfed guard exp, but the raw plat was just too good if all you wanted was a casual half-afk camp. It made the commonlands market fun lol.
How Isegay is it later on? In the first episode I thought the premise was neat, then the super gay male massage healing ritual happened out of nowhere, and of course the kids come wandering in for an Uno-Reverse ARE YA WINNING DAD quote.
I'll mention the pros of the lack of gate thing, though I agree 100% everyone should be able to safely get home via gate
-Caster power! It's neat that casters can be all mystical and just gate home. I felt like I gained some real power when I unlocked that one (FIZZLE FIZZLE OOM) back in 99...
