@forcen: whoah! Didn't even know that exists! Thank you!

@someoneproud: thank you! Terrified but excited!

@someoneproud: no sarcasm intended. Apologies again.

@sombre you've hit the double win because I am actually a High School English and Media teacher, and am married to a librarian! Don't worry, we have books!

I hit the wrong @ and I'm very sorry.

@someoneproud: giant bomb has always been a political site because it has people in it.

I'm glad it's on the right side here.

I can't be the only member of Giant Bomb (I know Jeff, Jason and tangentially Bakalar (love your pinball!)) To have had a baby, nor can I be the only member of the forum to have one.

Our baby is due on July 24th, which is becoming a very scary fast date.

We are set up mostly in terms of essentials - in Scotland, the government sends you a "baby box" including changes of clothes, toys, books, and the box itself can be a crib if need be - but I'm wondering how gaming has been for new partners

I had a gaming room which is (rightly) being dismantled so the baby has a nursery, meaning a lot of my retro consoles - Saturn, Dreamcast, UK N64 (keeping my JP one!) Are now under the bed.

But is there any good advice, tips, expectations about what I can, should, theoretically do? What sort of games lend well to having a cute little baby on my lap?

Any advice welcome.

Just throwing my hat in the ring. I would not want to be a mod right now, and I can only imagine they've seen and blocked a lot of real nasty stuff. It takes a tough person to do this.

Also Abby rules.

I should also add, as a teacher, albeit in a different country, Vinny is absolutely right. We are shoulders down, ready to get to the summer. It's been a tough few weeks for us.

I know the hosts of the current podcasts are acutely aware, and Vinny alluded to that at the start of the most recent Beastcast, but man, having Ron on this week shook up the show in a great way. I was absolutely done in hysterics by the end of the Outer Wilds chat.

So, if at all possible, could we have more guests on Casts. I remember the days of 2009 when the guys from GRIN (rip) would be on to talk absolute nonsense and offer Scandinavian treats. Maybe as Giant Bomb is returning to its scrappy roots during *this* they could bring back that old thing.

Beastcast people - you were amazing this week, all of you. Thank you.
