/v/ what are your experiences with handhelds in public? >Waiting

I used to bring my PSP to high school and playing it during breaks, eventually classmates started bringing theirs too and we played Tekken with local multiplayer. Was pretty fun desu.

>Sitting in Dr.'s office
>Playing Vita
>Guy comes up to me
>"Still playing them games, dude?"
>Look at him
>Have no clue who he is

>"Cool man. Say how's your dad been?"
>He and I have like a 5 minute conversation before I get called into the office.
He acted like he knew me and my family but I swear I've never met this dude before. He was nice enough though, and fun to talk to cause he had some cool D&D stories.

This is your social anxiety speaking, Anon.

Maybe the kid thing happened, yeah, but that isn't exactly bad. maybe his mom or some other douchebag thought that you're a manchild, but they're the judgemental fucktards on this situation, don't be one yourself. And thank god normies got into gaming, so it's ok - even "cool", perharps - to play handhelds in public now.

I'm sure as shit would do this but I live in the 3rd world and would get mugged the moment i took any electronic out.

I just emulate games on my phone.

I have social anxiety, so I wait til I'm not in public with strangers before I'll pull out a 3DS or something. Otherwise I'll play a turn-based game on an emulator on my phone, or read.

Why do you actually give a shit? You bought the console, have no shame.
I used to play my 3DS during lunch breaks/free periods at College (UK, not US) and I got some odd looks, but I also got talking to some people because of it as well (one of those people became my girlfriend for a short while).

>>386131523

I play games on the train all the time. Have an hour and a half ride to NYC, I love just kicking back with some classic RE on my psp.

No one gives a shit, every so often someone will sit next to me and play their handheld. It's like an unspoken kinship

>>386134189
>The Chad playing vidya in public

It's not like you're gonna ever see those people again. And even if you do, I doubt they'd ever confront you about it.
I'd never play a typical 'bing bing wahoo' colourful kids game in public though, since it prob makes you look like a massive man child.
I do find the influx of college girls playing portables weird though. They somehow can get away with playing stuff like Mario because it's 'cute' and 'endearing' (quote from guy I sit next to on train) kinda annoying...

Holy shit. So you faggots actually think no one cares about that? Well guess what? They do. I know because everytime me and freinds take the train home from college (about 2 hour ride) theres sometimes a """guy""" who plays on his portable system. After they leave or after we leave, whichever comes first and I ask them about it and they pretty much always say "it's pretty cringy, but I wouldn't really call them out on it y'know?"
No one is going to tell you that's embarrassing, but everyone is thinking it.

Fucking manchildren, stay deluded.

Nobody gives a damn about what anyone else thinks you mongoloid. If you get embarrassed over a damn portable system I honestly don't know what to tell you.

Somehow, it's okay to play on a phone but, not a gaming system. It's a double standard that isn't even a big deal and anyone who thinks it is aren't worth your time regardless.

I play my handhelds pretty much every time I'm waiting in a terminal or on a plane. Never gotten a comment, ever. I met a few people in college playing my 3DS between classes but it was always someone else with a 3DS asking what I was playing and chatting about games.

I'm living in JP.

I've seen several women on their 30s playing videogames on the train, mostly 3ds stuff

Just don't be autistic

played mine on airplane was pretty dope

When I was in the Navy stationed in Japan back in 2009, I was in a shopping plaza and heard the familiar sound of people playing Mario kart DS. It was a group of 8-10 year old Japanese kids. I asked to join in on a match and they only picked tracks to snake on, so when I finally got tick tock clock on the rotation I demolished them. They're mom's were giggling at me, but whatever. I don't give a shit

>>386135527

Let me be the first to reveal to you that only you actually have a problem with the guy with the 3DS. The fact that you're the one who brings it up speaks volumes. The people you're asking for their opinions are only telling you what they think they should say to be in agreement with you. You're clearly the one with the insecurity.

why is it the only people i see playing a 3ds in public are fat and unwashed?

why are you guys so conscious about playing handhelds outside of home?

let me guess, your fat (and not just fat, but horridly obese), looks like a retarded man-child and bonus points if you were a fedora, so you're worried when people look at you when your out and about.

I've played it on airplanes, really helps pass the time.

I don't think I've ever actually played vidya in public, at least not on a dedicated handheld. I play some mobile shit like dokkan battle but I mean nearly everybody plays something on their phones. I played pokemon in middle school but I mean that was the hip thing.

No one actually cares about that and if they do, fuck them, it's not like you'll see those assholes ever again.
Don't let other people opinion to stop you from doing something you enjoy, unless you're a furry in which case you should kill yourself.
The cure for social anxiety is cynism.

when pokemon x/y first came out i was on the train and found someone pop up on the pss. a good number of seats away from me there was a little kid playing a 3ds also. i couldnt hear what he was saying but he sounded pretty excited and he was constantly nudging his mom to look at his screen. i sent him a battle request and he accepted (he nor his mom noticed me.) he was just a little kid so he didnt really have a good team and most likely just picked his favorites or his story team. i was going easy on him and let him get some knockouts and eventually just let him win the whole thing.

i purposely missed my stop on the train because i wanted to finish the whole battle with him. he looked like he was having so much it was nice to see. i just got off at the next stop quietly and didnt point out that it was me who he was playing with. i dont take my 3ds out with me anymore and just listen to music or read, but that was the only nice memory of playing outside with it that i have.

I don't know where you people live that handhelds are such a big fucking deal. I bring mine to the laundromat, doctor's office, on flights etc. and never had issues. In fact, sometimes kids will be excited when they see I have one and ask what I'm playing. I'll talk and have a nice conversation with their parents because I'm not a sperg like OP.

Just be yourself bro. Be confident.

Nigga that's nothing. One time years ago im in church , youth group. I must have been like 14 and this girls comes up and starts hugging me. Out of nowhere, she says "how you been, its been so long" me being the social sperg i am i freak out and just go along with it, say yeah i been good, its all nice seeing you again.

During the whole sermon she waa cuddling up to me, im freaking out cause i have no idea who this girl is and because i am so spergy it becomes noticeable that i am uncomfortable. She notices and kind of starts backing off, which sucks cause i like her cuddling up to me. Its just weird cause i don't know her and its church you know.

She keeps talking about stuff from years before and i become even more confused because she is right, she is talking about outings and youth church events from years before. But i search my memory and she is in none of them none. Like she is talking about really specific stuff, where we went to eat years ago with churchs, where we hung out with the youth group. What we did certain memorable weekenda during church trips.

She kind of tries to cuddle again but im ao confused i start mumbling , she seems im acting weird and stops the youth pastor looks at me because she is all cuddling and you aren't supposed to do that at a sermon especially when you are 14.

The sermon ends and she looks sad because i didn't reciprocate her feelings. She just says "it was nice seeing you again" and looks like a hurt puppy, with puppy eyes. She gives me a really long and gentle kiss on the cheek. I murtter a good bye like "g g g g god b b b b bye" and she leaves all sad.

NEVER SEE HER AGAIN. To this day i have no idea who this girl was. None. Every time i think about it confuses me to no end. Who is this girl? Why did she cuddle up to me. By the way it couldnt have been an ex because to this day im a nerd who has never had a GF. WHO WAS THIS GIRL? Its one of those things that im pretty sure im never getting an answer to.

>>386164737
Its not okay to stare, or speak to People you dont know, or make a lot of weird expression, or get to close to people.

Caring what other people think is the most beta thing on the planet. Whatever handhelds are shit anyways, all of them are trash.
