So I have wanted to start using homebridge for a while. Looking at prices of raspberry pi I decided to hold off till I had the spare cash as it’s not something I need to do NOW. But now I’ve seen this Mac mini on CEX. I know it’s old. But for £70 it’s hard to not think this is a good alternative? I understand the power consumption would be higher. But is it a good idea or shall I hold off and get a pi ?
So for about 3 months + my son has not taken to me well. I can get smiles out of him( he does it to everyone), occasionally I can bath him, can hold him when we are out. But the problem is, when I pick him up at home most of the time he will scream for ages, I can’t soothe him. It gets to the point where he works himself up so much that once mums calmed him down he is doing rapid deep breaths to calm back down.
I can feed him his solid foods but bottles are a no go. He screams and won’t stop until I eventually hand him back to his mum.
Mum went to a concert and I was left to it for the day and it was all okay until the evening. He wouldn’t have his bottle after dinner and he just screamed non stop. I took him for a drive and he went to sleep, but when he woke up again, he screamed the house down again.
I know everyone will say it’s a phase, but how much longer. It’s breaking me to the point I cry because it feels so awful not being able to bottle feed him, soothe him or cuddle him at home.
What can I do?😔
For context,
I’m a 29yo dad. I used to love gaming and love my steam deck. Putting countless hours into previously enjoyed games like rdr, gta, black ops3, stardew valley and car x to name a few.
But since the birth of my son in December, the steam deck has gathered dust. I’ve found I don’t get 30 mins to myself as when I’m not working I’m helping with him or spending time with my partner.
I’m looking for games where I don’t need to get too into a game and at any point I can pause it / put it down to help with our son if he wakes up. So I guess I’m looking for games like stardew? Games that I can play for 5-10 mins and not be midway through a level, mission, or storyline and I can still feel fulfilled…
Previously enjoyed games: RDR,GTA,CarX,BO3,Stardew Valley
Preferred genres: shooters, racing, RPG ( although I’m not fussed)
Budget: doesn’t matter
Other notes: 5-10 mins at a time with no real story. Something I can come off at any point and feel fulfilled
any help would be really appreciated
