@night had mentioned cups league in his discord at some point, and then raided me after playing one night and explained it a little more in my chat. Decided to give it a shot and played in week 2 of s...more

@darthk815 • 169d

It'd take a novel to even begin to describe digging myself out of the covid-lockdown exacerbated anxiety hole to the point of first talking on chat with the TDG Kart folks, winning the first Kart Gan...more

@alden • 170d

I’ve been following The Dad probably since it was established. Being a new father in 2016, I was always appreciative of the relatable content that venerated fatherhood with a touch of humor and humi...more

@malfurious • 171d

@bammonty • 172d

It’s kinda helpful when you know the creators son @thelion

@hrlwesty • 203d

It was a winding path (but one it seems like others were also on). My wife was a huge fan of the Dad content. She would share the posts with me regularly and we would chuckle. When the Dad gaming...more

@mausterchief5691 • 224d

A TDG Kart group chat I'm a part of all joined up. convinced me to join the cult......

@night • 232d

Heard about it originally through @8oh5 / @sneakz and then one night @evolvixon raided me. I ended up giving Channel 3 a shot after some convincing from @buster and the rest is history.

@dadalorian • 232d

@gargada invited me back in the invite-only Season 0. Had no clue what this was but glad I joined!

@darthsmeagol • 232d

What you may know is that @mariomaestro and I have been friends for most of our lives. What you may not know is that Ryan Mac is a JERK! He was here for MONTHS before inviting me! 😡 The only logi...more

@james16d9 • 232d

I wish i would have joined sooner. We learn from mistakes tho. This is a great place to be.

@codyb • 232d

Someone in TDG kart gangs shared something about I believe Wednesday night racing on C3 so I signed up because at that point I was all about racing kart as much as possible. Took me awhile though bef...more

@whitethunder • 232d

I was deep in the guts of Kart Gangs when Joel left to make this, I got invited at the very beginning and never looked back

@ryansvikingbeard • 232d

@legodad invited me at the beginning. I came in, looked around and stepped backwards in fear of its greatness. After a while, he was interviewed on the podcast, and I started hunting around a bit more...more

@blockmamba • 232d

I just remember seeing a post from @joel saying message me if you want an invite to this super secret project I’m working on. No hesitation to message him immediately! The man even personalized my p...more

@nanner • 232d

@dan sent me a link and said “You’re old enough to understand the name.”

@rey • 232d

Joel asked the dad mods if anyone wanted to take a look at this secret thing and I said yes of course I want to be part of the secret thing. It started as Good Reads for me and even before "lists" wer...more

@mariomaestro • 232d

I followed the man himself @joel here because I knew if he created and led something as great as TDG, that a platform like this would end up being amazing. Now it seems is the home for all things TD...more

@dan • 232d

@joel did the thing, I asked what the thing was... All kidding aside beyond that I've been hooked from Day 1. It started as Letterboxd and Goodreads but for gaming, or at least in my eyes when I fi...more

@seth • 232d

One time @dan messaged me and I clicked the link. Ended up here.

@james • 232d

Gather around boys and girls, I've got a story for you. One day, I was reading a substack on how The Dad came to be and all lived happily ever after from there.

@dosandres • 232d

I was part of TDG for a while but was never very active on social media in general. Was going through the process of some pretty big life changes in August 2022 and logged onto TDG Mario Kart to see w...more

As anyone from the dad gaming and especially the rocket League subgroup knows, I have been a host/caster/mod with that group since the very early days. So when Joel told the mod group that he was part...more

@gongshowdad • 232d

@jpegmario • 232d

I remember visiting home and @joel started telling me about it and I had no idea what it would turn into, it's pretty amazing!! Love the C3 story so far.

@rusty6713 • 232d

Got an invite from Dan when things were spinning up here. Was hesitant at first but glad I made the jump.

@ianr • 232d

Ditto @youngloganyoung , but a few months later! Crazy to say we live in a world where college students can take classes learning about video games and how to livestream video games. What’s also ...more

@travg • 232d

Like so many of us, TDG Mario Kart. It's such a great group!

@ggshadow • 232d

Been in the Dad Gaming Fortnite since the beginning and definitely wanted to support Joel’s new endeavor from all the work he put in!

@youngloganyoung • 232d

I took an esport class at Miami University. From that day I originally joined, I have been hooked on this site ever since

@rescuejoe84 • 232d

@gargada mentioned it one night while we were playing fortnite together. Sounded like something I would be interested in. Now my son is here also

@thunder • 232d

Pretty sure it was @dadalorian who brought me over from a small group chat we had out of TDGFN page. #GPM4L Could’ve been @gargada, can’t remember.

@kelseyb • 232d

@codyb made me make an account that I did almost nothing with for a long time (new things are hard for me, okay? 😩). But now I’m here and I love it. 🥰

@joob • 232d

I came over with a lot of folks from TDG. I was on a Kart Gangs team with @teets, @froggy as well as @joel at the time - who kept teasing us what he was up to (going pro at Mario Kart, starting Scary ...more

@legodad • 232d

I was following the dad on socials and somehow came across a post from @joel talking about gaming and so I requested an invite. The rest is history, nerds!

@laughatbrian • 232d

@danioverhere 's fault. They introduced us via email. I just went back and read the emails and it was kinda cool seeing and hearing about Channel 3 before it was even a thing. Channel 3 was a "super s...more

@bitzdad • 232d

@dan sent me this message and an invite code. As a NES kid, the Channel 3 name had me intrigued from the start.

@saturnrogue • 232d

@froggy shared a referral link on Facebook. Clicked on the link and the rest was history. I definitely can say that, he recruited me and I’m thankful for that.

@cayden • 232d

@jedijohann and @liljediray told me about this site and I thought was cool and joined

@highflyinpenguin • 232d

Naturally followed our fearless leader and fellow Cincinnati native @joel from TDG to here! Excited to see it/help it grow!

@jackalope • 232d

I was a part of the DadBods Gaming on Discord for several years. Then Joel recruited @sprondeau and he recruited me.

@dennis • 232d

@jedijohann needed more upvotes and respawns for a TotK video quest to beat @ganonslayer so he recruited from our boardgame group. EDIT: Turns out it was @spinit2winit but the important part was ...more

@friz • 232d

Back in February there was a 1v1 MK tournament that @froggy and @ohtwotwo got me into.

@jaimecitoamor • 233d

I’m 90% sure it was @joel inviting me, but there is an 8% chance it was @dan and I leave the other 2% to one of you others I played Smash or MK with on TDG.

@infocynic • 232d

For once, "I blame @joob" isn't just a meme. We worked together a few years ago and stay in touch, and he mentioned this site. After months of not being convinced, I believe it was in s3 when the min...more
