I’m having a baby in the next few weeks at most and I am trying to get my Steam Deck ready to go so I can bring it along. They have internet but I am not sure if I will have a good connection since idk what room I will be in. Labor can take a very long time as this is my first child so I want to be prepared with games to play lol.

Any recommendations? It can be any game, I have EmuDeck so suggest anything! I really enjoy RPGs

    Not to be a complete downer, but my advice is to also bring other entertainment in case you aren’t able to play. I had everything planned-out for gaming my way through labor and ended up with an IV in my hand within half an hour of being admitted to the hospital, which meant no gaming. It was a massive letdown, because deciding which games to bring was about 3/4 of my birth plan.

    Do you want something exciting, calming, topical, genre specific?

    Truly, just about any game will do if you want a distraction, but perhaps games that you typically would have played during your pregnancy that your child would have heard in the belly. Might be something like a bonding experience. Perhaps games you would want them to check out one day.
