So are new borns! You are 99.875% guaranteed to have zero chance of stringing together enough time at a stretch to actually enjoy playing with your Switch. It’ll be more frustrating than fun having to keep pausing your game just as you get to a tricky part. Also, the rare moments that baby is asleep will be the times that you’ll be called on to lavish heaps of attention on the wife :slight_smile:

You know what you should do with the cash? Drop it into a long-term, high interest rate fixed deposit account and leave it until he turns 5. Then withdraw it and buy 2 Switch Mark III’s and play co-op games with him.

Yeah was kinda leaning to that after letting the itch subside a bit. Rather took the wife out for our last cinema experience for a looooong time and ended up buying a night light for the nursery and some other baby-related things.

You know what headphones’ real purpose is?

ESCAPISM and the occasional better and improved audio listening.

I had these wonderful ideas about what I was gonna do when the kids woke up. Nothing what I expected. Can’t even play hearth stone.

Good luck and congrats bud.

Your bug out bags packed? First kid we had plenty of time, second one came 4 weeks early and ended up doing 150km in 1hr 5mins including a fuel stop.
Worth having the bags packed.

Love my headphones. Put about 3-4 hours a day on them

Finding a great pair of headphones is truly the best thing a person can do. The last few months I’ve been using my audio technica headphones anywhere from 6-8 hours a day and hardly notice them after all that time.

Haha I did the same. Normally get up at 5:45 but this morning I slept until 6:20. It doesn’t help that it’s all dark here and it looks like it’s going to rain.

I too am keeping the economy of South Africa ticking away today. The good thing about working today is that there was no traffic getting to work today though.

And morning everyone

Im lucky the boss gave us the day off, so even though I worked yesterday I am off today. Slept in, read a bit, took meds - sinusitus is acting up and it feels like I have cement in my sinus cavities

Also woke up to this

I want to buy myself a pair of bluetooth Headphones, to be used with my PC, PS3 and phone.

I’m looking at Skullcandy Hesh 3.

Any other suggestions?
