Mr_Banani: Hello World!

Hey everyone, I’m Mr_Banani, and I’m excited to welcome you to my corner of the internet. Here, I wear a few hats—first and foremost, I’m a proud millennial dad navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood alongside my middle school-aged son. It’s an adventure that’s all about bonding over shared interests, especially our love for RPG games like Skyrim.

Embracing Parenthood

As my son grows older, we’re diving into RPGs together, exploring their immersive worlds and discussing the choices and consequences they present. Balancing gaming with parenting isn’t always easy, especially with my ADHD, but I find that showing genuine interest in his hobbies strengthens our connection.

Passion for RPGs and Gaming Diversity

When I’m not gaming with my son, I’m deeply immersed in RPGs like Persona 5 and strategy games such as Civilization VI. These games aren’t just entertainment; they’re a way for me to unwind and explore different narratives and challenges.

Diverse Hobbies Fueling Creativity

During the early days of the pandemic, I discovered 3D printing—a hobby that’s become a creative outlet. From practical items to intricate figurines, it’s a blend of technology and craftsmanship that brings me joy and allows me to personalize our home.

Learning GoLang and Python

In my career in IT operations, the shift towards DevOps has inspired me to learn languages like GoLang and Python. It’s about adapting to industry changes and expanding my skills to better support my team.

Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Since being diagnosed in middle school, managing Rheumatoid Arthritis has been a part of my daily life. It’s taught me resilience and the importance of self-care, despite its challenges.

Music and Personal Enjoyment

Music is a constant companion, whether I’m gaming, working on a project, or relaxing. EDM and movie soundtracks are my go-to genres, enhancing my focus and mood.

Blogging Goals and Community Engagement

Through this blog, I aim to share my experiences and insights with fellow gamers, tech enthusiasts, and anyone interested in parenthood and hobbies. Together with my wife, who also contributes here, we hope to foster a community where we can learn from each other and celebrate our passions.

Join me as we explore RPG worlds, tackle new programming challenges, and enjoy creative hobbies together. There’s plenty to discover, and I’m glad to have you along for the journey.

Until next time,

Mr_Banani
