It's a computer you can plug in anything you want into it. (With a hub anyways)Thanks. I’m a bit of a boomer kind of a wasd+ mouse reflex , not sure if I could play the games I like properly with a controller. Is there a keyboard /mouse option for the deck? Also a bigger screen?
Just wait until she is walking and climbing on everything!My kid started crawling a month back and since then it’s been impossible to do anything while she’s awake. I may try to be a steam deck enjoyer as suggested so I can atleast body block her if she tries to make a break for it

I did some of this. Really make the most of the time while the kid is sleeping. Make that time for yourself, you'll find you won't resent the time when they're awake and demanding of your attention so much. Yeah, that sounds shitty, but it is easy to start to resent it if you're making them the focus 24/7. Everyone needs a break, just make sure you get yours.
And other than that, spend as much time with him (her?) as you can. You won't believe how fast it goes, how fast you can fall into bad patterns, and how much you can come to regret that. Love on your kids.
You need to just shelve gaming when she is awake and give her your full attention. This phase will only last for a few years and “productive” gaming isn’t really a thing. These years will fly by and you don’t get them back. Focus on them and put your hobby off for a bit. You will both be better off for it. Game for 30-60 minutes at night if you really can’t put it down for a few years.Thanks, she’s actually 13 and half months now and not just walking but sometimes breaking into a sprint and then taking a tumble ; lots of head bumps to the point I’m worried she’s gonna mess something up in there. Her mom almost went pro in tennis so I have high hopes for her in sports, already been having her watch while i shoot bball but there’s a good chance watching me is just going to make her worse, though she seems to enjoy it . Maybe I’ll try taking her to tennis just to see people play and see how that goes.
the gaming just isn’t possible, I actually got a steam deck but I mostly end up using it when I’m at gym on a bike or something. There’s just no way to do any productive gaming while trying to watch her, she’s just wayyyyy too quick
I’ve been trying to do this myself. Problem is I haven’t touched my guitar in over a decade. could mostly recall the Beatles stuff since that was my go to for trying to get laid in college, but my kid seemed to lose interest quickly. She did seem to like poison though only thing I could play was every rose has its thorn which is two chords lol. I wanted to play some Alice In Chains , don’t follow is such a beautiful piece but my wife complaining it’s lyrics too negative, mehI stopped playing video games at that point and picked up the guitar. It was something I could do in 2 minute intervals, it gave me a sense of accomplishment, and it's enriching for the kid. My oldest listens to the same music I do, but doesn't play anything, my youngest is in band at school and wants to create, so it seems to have inspired something.
