The Besties
Squad up. Laugh hard. Win together.
The core crew that turns any lobby into a living room. Inside jokes, clutch saves, and the kind of chaos you only get with people who actually have your back.
Built on Community.Driven by Purpose.
A late-night gaming community where people matter more than the scoreboard. Everyone has a seat at the table. Everyone belongs.

About · The Creator
Dad. Community Builder. Gamer.
By day, Mike is a commercial real estate broker and a father of three. By night, he becomes DadWithDPS— a late-night creator building one of the internet’s most welcoming gaming communities.
Whether it’s surviving an extraction in ARC Raiders, celebrating a member hitting Twitch Affiliate, or laughing through another Fall Guys Friday disaster, every stream is about building genuine friendships.
From helping small creators grow to encouraging fitness, fatherhood, and personal reclamation, DadWithDPS exists to prove the internet can still be a place where people lift each other up.

The Emotional Target
Imagine if…
- John Wick hosts game night.
- Ted Lasso runs the Discord.
- Aragorn moderates the chat.
Quiet confidence. Authentic leadership. Community above everything. Strong without being loud. Funny without being mean.
Community Pillars
Everyone has a seat at the table.
These are the ways we show up for each other — the features of a community built around becoming better people, not being the best player.
Operation Affiliate
Helping small creators reach their goals.
We lift as we climb. Raids, shout-outs, and real mentorship to help the next creator hit Affiliate and beyond. Growth is a team sport here.
Fitness & Mindset
Reclaiming ourselves so we show up for our families.
Push-up challenges, honest talks, and daily discipline. Stronger in the gym, sharper in the mind, more present at home.
Family First
Dad. Husband. Provider. The real endgame.
Games bring us together, but family is why we play. We build a place where being a good parent and partner is the highest score there is.
Weekly Schedule
The night has a rhythm.
Late nights, good people, and a lineup worth showing up for. Times are Carpe Noctem — we go live after the kids are down.

Win with humility.
Lose with grace.
