New Gamer Dad Review just published!
A Short Hike really surprised me—it’s calm, kind, and absolutely packed with small moments that meant the world to me and my son.

If you’re into cozy indies or playing meaningful games with your kids, I think you’ll love this one. Take the hike—short as it is, the views are worth it.

I would sign it, but since England forced Scotland to leave the EU (against our will, I might add) I am not on the list of countries allowed to join.

NB! "European citizens" is actually European Union citizens in this context.
Last time I checked, Norway is in the European continent, but, Norwegians can't sign this.

New Gamer Dad article just dropped!

This one’s not about parenting—but about pixels, satire, and how an indie game took me on a chaotic sprint through my own memories.

Don’t Tax Me, Bro! is fast, funny, and oddly familiar.

🌱 New Substack post: Tree – A Gamer Dad Review

This little game surprisingly became one of my most meaningful gaming moments with my son. No fights, no missions—just growing a tree through the seasons and sharing moments together.

Bonus: I recorded an audio version of the article, and brought Junior in to help.  

Would love to hear what cozy or emotional games you’ve played with your kids.

My daughter plays co-op games with her boyfriend. When she was younger, we used to use the Sims world builder together and create cool houses and little tropical islands.

🚂 New Substack post is up!

Just finished writing about Train Valley, a game that became a favorite for me and my son. He started by crashing trains on purpose (classic), but before long, he was planning routes and pulling off perfect runs.

This article is part of my Gamer Dad series—where I write about the first games we played together and what made them stick.

A Gamer Dad’s Review: Train Valley - ROP’s Passions
A charming mix of trains, tracks, and tiny chaos—where my son learned planning, problem-solving, and that sometimes it’s okay to crash a few times along the way.
