Is it ever aceptable to plat videogames on your handheld outside of your home?

*play

Just wait for somebody to post the *Bing! Bing! Wahoo!* meme

>sitting next to family on plane
>little kid watching me play Rhythm Heaven
>seems into it, loan it to her to try
>her mom seems ok with the idea
Long story short we're married now.

Why would you ask Sup Forums this?

If you're not ugly it is

can't we go back to being ashamed of liking video games so we can pretend we're underdogs who are being bullied by society

>my wife's son: the story.

damn man, you better be trolling.

only if you look good while doing it

You married a kid ahmed?

why not ? Now everyone plays videogames on their phones

If you're sitting down somewhere bored or waiting for something, sure, that's what handhelds are for. Using one while walking or in a potentially social situation is a nono though.

>Are you attractive or at the very least dress well?
It's fine and it can even attract others interest into what you are doing and start conversations.

>Are you with a friend or two playing?
It's fine.

it feels more normal like in Tokyo or NYC or something , when there are so many ppl that everyone has seen it all and no one gives a fuck. If you're in a smaller city or suburbs and just in public you can feel the stares and feel like a fukken loser

>marrying a single mother

How many men do you suppose she's fucked behind your back now m8?

he never said that she was a single mother, se could have been a widow man.

Rhythm Heaven is a 9 year old game, user

>Bio major, chem minor
>Do lab work on the side for brownie points/scholarships
>Play 3DS while waiting for results

At least with the Switch I can play Snipperclips with my partner while killing mice

I do it all the time. Got 2 different boys to buy MH4 when they saw me playing it.

Its alright on a plane maybe, you're never gonna see those people again and they'll probs be sleeping.

>with my partner
fag

correct
as long as you're attractive you can get away with anything
most of Sup Forums will probably never get to experience this however

Maybe on a long bus ride or a plane.

Sure if you have no self respect and dont mind litterally every single person judging you harshly and inwardly/openly laughing at you

prove it

>BING
>BING
>WAHOO

I work third shift and I fully intend to get the Hayabusa Earring. I'm going to be doing like 10 advanced quests over the course of 8 hours.

why woudl you get a handheld if you arent interested in portable gaming? do you just prefer not using a Tv at home, like a retard?

because you want to play monster hunter, and it's been locked on the 3ds since 3u was on the wii. BUT NOT ANYMORE MOTHERFUCKERS

If you're on any form of transportation(subway, train, plane, bus, etc) for over 1/2 hour I'd say its fine.

Keep the volume down or earbuds in, and don't act like a sperg. I myself will put it away if someone is sitting next to me, but I wouldn't call it a strict rule.

Oh, and it goes without saying, don't play any weird/perv shit in public on your psp if that's how you roll.

No, Jesus Christ it is NOT okay.

I actually saw someone doing that one the bus and you know what I did? I spit on them.
They pretended it was a leak or some shit and their pussy ass stayed in the seat and didn't move. ťbh I should've shit on him. His pussy ass probably wouldn't have done anything anyway.

>Co workers spend all day playing on their iphone
>Manbabies spend all day on their gameboy

You're all idiots in my opinion

Of course you did, tough guy.

You are a fucking loser

Fuck yeah bro. Teach em how it's done.

Some prerequisites:

1. Dress well, be slim and have good hair. This way you will be a trendsetter and not just someone behaving anti-socially.

2. Be in a crowded public place. This way you are less likely to be noticed in the event that the above isn't enough. Public transport in cities is the best because of the number of people and the understanding that you're just killing time.

3. Don't play anything to lude or weebish. Neps and Ateliers are not ok. Play something cool, so that in the event someone looks at your screen, they're not repulsed by what they see.

If you fail at any of the above then what you're doing will simply make you look mentally ill. The only times you should disregard the rules above despite this are on extremely long inter-continental flights as you have a reasonable amount of privacy and the length of the trip makes it worth it regardless of what others might think.

>Is it ever aceptable to plat videogames on your handheld outside of your home?
That's why it's a handheld. So I can take it with me and play it.

literally nobody cares about me playing vidya. they're too busy playing on their phones, and vidya makes short of a commute on the bus.

Whether or not platting is "acceptable" is never going to stop anyone from doing it.

I'll play my 3DS on flights and long train trips. I actually work at work so there's no time.

Yes it's perfectly fine playing handhelds in public who gives a fuck. Most people will pay no attention to you using a handheld outside of those who might show interest in what you might be playing. Unless you're using it at a really inappropriate time like during a movie, at a funeral, at work etc.

>1. Dress well

*spits on you*
Oh and btw even though people don't say you look like autists, they're definitely thinking it. Stop playing in public! It's childish and sad!

this

Sure. Why wouldn't it be?

Who gives a fuck what you do with your money and its just a game


Stop being insecure you fucking faggot

Yeah man show how mature and adult and touch you are by being a shithead.

I think it's only acceptable if it's an old-but-not-quite-retro handheld, like a GBA-SP. That's more likely to get, "Oh shit dawg, I remember those" reactions as opposed to a 3DS

That being said, I play my switch on airplanes and give absolutely no fucks about bing bing wahoo, just like on the commercial.

>mfw only slightly overweight and have longish hair
Feels good being a 1.5er.

so long as you arent being autistic about it and have headphones in or sound off then yeah who gives a shit if you play mario or whatever the fuck on the bus

Yes, it is. Go to Japan, where even the PS4 has a hard time keeping pace with the 3DS's success. Try telling all of those salarymen and schoolgirls that it's not OK to play Monster Hunter, Mario Kart, and Pokémon in public, and see where that gets you.

do laptops count?
set up a hearthstone tourney with a normie/chad for shits and giggles once
prof caught us both
scolded me for misbehavior
literally said nothing to the other guy
damned chad privilege

>everyone falling for the bait
holy shit

Please tell me you married the little kid.

>sit down on boss
>nigga 100% speedrun his game next to me
damn

yea

If you're on public transportation or waiting for a doctor to see you or something like that, fine. If you bring it to a restaurant you're a fucking retard

That's how I get away with dressing like an autist

OK:
>waiting alone for something
>long car/bus/plane/train rides
>Nintendo event (for Nintendo consoles).

Not OK:
>social events
>walking around
>sitting in a park
>believing it will help you score with women

>tfw just slightly overweight
>wouldn't buy nor wear any of that shit even if you paid me
death here I come

>Be a 600-lb neckbeard with a hip-length shaggy ponytail, eczema, a wheeze for every step, wearing cargo shorts, a graphic tee that's nice and "subtle" so nobody knows what video game my ebin meme shirt is from, and socks inside of my crocks
>Sit down on the entire park bench, bending it near its breaking point
>Stuff my loaf of hand into my pocket, fiddling between my numerous not-discarded hamburger wrappers and still to-be-used condoms (just in case)
>After 35 minutes of exhausting digging, retrieve my 3DS and take a brief nap between my wheezing fit and wake up as some fairly attractive girl--I mean, disgusting 3D pigs begin laughing mockingly at me
>Struggle to get out of the bench, my fat literally having coagulated sweat and shit from my ass to the bench
>Eventually tear free, falling face-first onto the ground, making a loud "Bwearp" as my rolls accumulate around me and finally settle
>Laughter surrounds me, literally every human within 70 miles is a hysteric uproar, multiple car accidents occur as far as my eyes can make out
>Wobble to my feet, pick up my fedora, and re-adjust my glasses so I know where to leave
>Start crying and cover my face with my cape to hide my shame


FUCKING VIDEO GAMES RUINED MY LIFE YET AGAIN

Look, people are free to do whatever they want. If you enjoy something so badly that you need to do it on public transport, I ain't got an issue with that. You do you hun. But you are kidding yourself if you think you're getting laid anytime soon. The kind of guy that lacks the social awareness to play video games in public is also the kind of guy who lacks social skills in general. But seriously, keep playing videogames at the park. At least you're outside! But any normal guy would probably be trying to chat up girls instead of putting his energy into silly virtual worlds. Might want to try it sometime though, women feel REALLY good. Or you just be keep doing you.

lol

It was in grade 4 at recess

With the kid?

Alright maybe in Japan, but this is America we're talking about.

Why is the fat kid wearing a dog collar?

>Don't play anything to lude

Pssh fuck that . I've made peace with the fact I'm going to be stuck alone for the rest of my life. I'll be damned if I let something as trivial as normalfags change the game I play.

I don't get it

Wow childhood love is beautiful right user

No

If you are ugly the answer is: NO

>Discussing Sunday Night HBO
>not just pirating the movies and watching them the night before

*pirates ur 3DS*

i saw a dude in his mid-twenties playing his ds on the bus one time

idk i didnt care

I play handheld consoles on public transportation every day. I'm well dressed and keep the volume off. The only people who have ever looked twice at what I'm doing are neckbeard autists who probably post on Sup Forums trying to see what game I'm playing. They never ask for some reason, just awkward staring.

If you're under 12 yes

Who the fuck cares, one day we'll all be dead

>sitting in a park
I can see the arguments for the other ones but what?

0/10

This is just like one of my Japanese animes. Did the little girl you married call you onii-chan?

Lmao who gives a fuck. Like the only people who might even remotely care are people dining out alone and that's just sad as hell

He's right you know

>No will care
True. Just like no one cares that the hobo on the side of the street is making a fool out of himself. It doesn't mean you don't look any less like a fool.

>Don't care about what others think of you
I take a bath so others won't think I stink. I dress acceptably so others won't think I'm a bum. We do these things so other people will be comfortable around us. No one wants to be around some manchild playing his Nintendo in public. You appear less desirable to females. If your boss or anyone else you know sees you, they will think less of you. Do you really want that?

The problem with playing these things in public is that it shows you are an unproductive piece of shit because you can't wait to get home to play your little video games. Using your phone in public is different. You could be checking the news, socializing with your friends, catching up on a good TV show on the bus, or even reading a book. Or, fuck, you know, playing a quick smartphone game. Instead, lugging around a portable handheld makes you look like a damn child because that's exactly what their children do.

Just play games on your fucking smartphone like everyone else in society. Smartphone games are actually pretty fun.

If you're sitting alone in a park playing a handheld it shows you have nothing better to do with your time. Not acceptable.

Did I strike a nerve user

I never see anyone doing anything productive on public transit. They're either scrolling through their feed for Instagram/Facebook or playing a game on their phone. How is that really any different from playing a handheld console? You say lugging around to make it sound like something difficult to do, but I literally just toss my 3ds in the bag I carry with me anyway. It's just entertainment during a boring time, and I actually enjoy it, unlike mobile phone games.
