In-Person Chaos! Hades II Hype, Teens Buying Games, & Couch-Co-Op Headaches | New Dad Gaming Ep 372

We did it: our once-a-year in-person episode! Trevor and Jeff awkwardly remember how to record without Zoom, swap Toronto trip stories, and dive into dad-mode gaming topics: Hades II’s launch, whether it breaks our “no new games” pact, accessibility/difficulty debates (Hollow Knight: Silksong, Elden Ring), letting a 15-year-old buy games on Steam, and the most dad-brained Fortnite setup ever (Xbox cloud streaming, Moonlight/Sunshine, PS Remote Play, and split-screen drama).

 

If you’re a gaming parent juggling time, tech, and teens—this one’s for you.

• Your best (or worst) living-room co-op/streaming setup?
