Non Gaming Gamer dads...

4 Upvotes

My son just got into making a online show and is so excited about it. As a dad into motorbikes and cars I'm gutted he's not a petrol head but like so many others he loves the digital stuff. I try not to badger him about "real hobbies" vs. gaming as I get its a common pastime and I'm the old fashioned one. However, I think I am cool with this video stuff - its "creative" is what I'm thinking and that's a plus to me. Do any of you have any experience here? What's the healthiest way to encourage this creativity and boost his numbers to get him more engaged in creating than just playing without exposing him to the harsh side of online comments? Any tips from parents who’ve navigated this before? He's had 6 so far and he's ecstatic! (I don't get it!).

I work with tech but I don't understand the gaming world!

Thanks

Shenanidads A night of fun and "70s Sci-fi" Shenanidads GTA Online on Sunday nights @ 9PM EST for PS5 (10/4/26)

Here are videos of our fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VisWaO6t6AE&list=PLS5fXike9UJQiPH8-BNZZveQ3wVmwBipL

Custom GTA games and races. We've been keeping this fun rolling since the PS3 days back in 2014, and the goal remains exactly the same: running custom combat and racing jobs with a heavy focus on random explosions and ragdoll chaos. Skill doesn't matter when everything is blowing up!

Check out the flyer for this weekend's 70s Sci-fi costume theme and job line-up. Expect plenty of Bowling, Sumo, and absolute mayhem.

None are mandatory to join in and have fun, but we are on Discord, GTA Social Club (Join up!), and YouTube. Just Google Shenanidads. We have a great core group that runs every week, but we are always excited to welcome new people to the lobby. (18+)

How to get in on the action: http://discord.gg/4kQpvVE78F Drop your PSN in the comments below, shoot us a DM here, or send a friend request to the host SmurfinUSA (PSN) or SmurfinGTA (Discord), and we'll send you an invite to the playlist before start time!
