Congrats on the baby , I'm sorry to hear about the health issues but am glad for the positive prognosis.
I'm a 33 year old father of 2 ( 5 year old boy, he's nuts- 2 year old girl, she is almost as nuts but cuter)
I'm in a very similar situation to you , but I can have a very long commute ( upwards of 2 hours + per day) but that's the construction industry for you.
And yes gaming habits did change, I'm not an outdoorsy person as I Spend most of my days outdoors year round. Now I have to try and make sure my children get fresh air and get their energy out, and also I try not to be one of those parents that's spends time looking at their phone instead of their kids.
Nintendo has been the system of choice for the times I want to play games when the kids are awake, or Lego games( I am done with Lego games now).
I played through MGSV when it came out in 2 hour chunks when the kids were in bed from 7-9.
But I returned witcher 3 since I just don't have the time to play it.
My iPad is now full of counting, letters, and reading games.
It was harder at the beginning, but I adjusted my habits to keep it in my life , giantbomb helps with their quick looks since I can keep up on games without playing everything now.
