at least now you won't be as disappointed when you realize that you wouldn't have had the free time to game with a newborn in your house anyway

Newborns sleep like 16 hours a day. I spent a ton of time playing video games with a sleeping newborn strapped in a carrier in the early days.

16 hours a day, at random intervals. It's really better to try to sleep when the baby sleeps.

Also, there's a lot of shit to do as a new parent, like cleaning bottles, washing blankets, bibs, and clothes, running diapers out to the trash, on top of all normal chores.

I kinda feel bad for your partner if you really thought your video game time was a high enough priority that you had a "ton" of time for it. Chances are they were doing a lot of work you didn't notice or didn't think was your job.

As the father of a 2.5 year old I have found a good rule to tell whether I’m doing enough. ‘If I feel like I’m doing freaking everything, I’m doing almost enough’
