"When you were a baby, Mommy was ripping out people's spines while breastfeeding you."

"...I can respect that."

"You'd better, honey."

    When the baby is that small, it's the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be "on call" if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!

    I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.

    "I'm still recovering from a brutal c-section that almost resulted in a rupture (but went well because my surgeons are goated). Glad that I left the house and it gave us a small idea of how to gauge bringing our daughter to tournaments and travel. She was actually chill."

    Feels like every "make me a sandwich" asshole [G]amer on earth just got humbled.

    I know it's "just a local" but as someone with a history in (very technical & skill-based) competitive gaming during my youth: mad respect

    That's kind of the total opposite of the typical "Florida man" scenario.

    Credit where credit's due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.

    Looks like she also had a 1st place finish in this tournament, which had over triple the entrants (14), and she did it while 7 months pregnant—that's much more impressive, imo.

    As someone who is sitting next to his newborn who he just brought home yesterday - the fact she did literally anything besides sleep is much more impressive

    Edit: grammar. I'm so tired

    Classic Dexerto, making a headline that gives a wildly inaccurate impression of reality.

    The headline made it seem like she won a tournament on the likes of EVO, not some small local tournament that could have just been among family members. Its cool she did this, but the author is REALLY trying hard to live up to their name (Virgina Glaze ).

    The player worked her way through a four-person bracket ...

    So, she beat.. 2 people?

    Still.. Noyce.

    Of course she won; she had a literal second set of hands to help her. It's the same reason that Goro is the best character in MK. I obviously never win when I play as Goro, but that's because everyone else is cheaters.

    These games always seem like random button mashing, ftw to me. Unfair advantage to be 2 player :P

    She's just enjoying the last bit of joy before that child sucks all it out of her life.

    Kids are annoying and trying at times, but until you have your own kid it's impossible to understand how rewarding they can be.

    That's not true.

    I grew up in a huge family and did a ton of parenting without my consent. I know exactly what it's like.

    Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don't choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.
