Have you ever been confronted for playing video games in public?

Have you ever been confronted for playing video games in public?

I did it once and I regret it. Don't fall for the ads.

No.

Why would I be confronted for it? What's wrong with it?

No.

Yes.
A girl came up to me and asked what I was playing. I told her that I was playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and she just said "Oh." and walked away.

Literally me.

nahah

Someone asked how I got pokemon red running on a phone, back when featurephones were a thing.

>grade 11
>5 minutes until our stupid little school connect event ends, which is some sad attempt to get kids in the school to "connect" with eachother by putting them in teams and having them do dumb but fun shit
>playing metal slug on my psp with cfw
>some kid walks up and asks what I'm playing
>"metal slug"
>"what do you do"
>"shoot things"
>he pauses for a moment
>"looks gay"
>walks away
never did like that kid.

Only once. Some blonde guy came up to me, said I should do something else with my life, he had 2 really handsome friends behind him so I just hid my face and bore it.

Ive been asked what I was playing on the train a few times.

I was emulating genealogy of the holy war.

>Be on subway
>Playing 3DS
>Guy sits down next to me
>"Hey what game are you playing?"
>I show him the screen
>"Cool"
>Get off at next stop


I don't know why you faggots seem to think that people are going to randomly start beating the shit out of you for playing video games in public, I don't think in the history of mankind has someone been harassed for playing a fucking video game in a public place

What's with you people? It's like you all have some freaky fucking fetish/fantasy about being harassed for playing video games in public

It doesn't happen, get the fuck over it.

You idiot.

I don't get it either, I play on the subway on the way home from work every single day, never once had a person harass me about it.

What's ironic is that you're literally gay for traps now.

I never play vidya in public

>school puts on event to get kids to socialise
>user sits there like an autist on his psp
>calls the event sad and stupid

>traps
>gay

Sup Forums is fucking retarded. antisocial idiots that probably haven't seen light in months and just assume harassment is what would occur if they played games in public, despite never doing it.

Literally Sup Forums.

>there are people in this thread RIGHT NOW that don't know people silently judge them and laugh at them for being manchildren in public

I play my switch at work, people always ask what it is, some will try to crack a joke but I got two or three coworkers that always ask to play on break or lunch. we've been playing overcooked during break and we usually end up yelling out orders and ingredients and people are just tripping out trying to figure out what we're talking about.

I was playing Dark Souls 2 behind the counter at my job, when a euro with the thickest accent you could imagine noticed and started excitedly pantomiming about where to find Havel's Armour.

That was pretty cool.

Only in positive ways. I'm attractive. If you're ugly you best leave that shit at home. If you're attractive you can do whatever you want.

Years ago when I was still in high school, an older college girl came up to me while I was playing pokemon and she was really into it. She was pretty hot, too.
Then she started talking about how the world should be pokemon, and that she wanted to be a pokemon. I weaseled my way out of that one somehow, and stopped playing games in public from that moment on.

an euro*

no I participated in it, there was just like 5 minutes left before the thing ended and the people who ran the thing aren't very good at time management.

Not really, they're usually too busy to notice.
My college teacher from 3 years ago actually thought my Vita was a phone.

guy was like "you got to hand over that DS or you got to leave milwaukee" and i was like lol wut

i got the ass kicking of my life. you see this eye? it ain't real

anyway i don't go back to milwaukee no more

I play on my phone so fuck off.

You fucking moron. You could've had a Pokémon slave bitch. She wanted to be your whore.

>Freshman year of High school
>Bring Vita to class during last weeks of school
>Playing Metal Gear Solid 3
>Cutie indian girl in front of me I talk to turns around and says "wow really user you brought videogames..."
>"Yeah you wanna play"
>Give her the console, I'm at that part where you're in a cave and need to find the torch
>She plays for five minutes then turns around and says "this is too hard"
>Go back to playing until class ends

Came pretty close to fucking her in senior year but ehhhh

>that pic
I hear the music every time

Exactly. My nigger.

>he got off at the next stop because of how nervous he was
What a pussy you are, my reddit-spacing friend! Nice meme image, though--you almost fooled us!

Complimented even for pic related

But I'm an actual functional person who can interact with strangers normally.

No.

>At convention, doing a vendor table with a guy I know
>He's such a cuck that I've seen a video of him used as a reaction webm on here
>Only there for a free badge
>Playing my 3DS behind the table
>"Why are you playing your 3DS at a convention? You should talk to people."
>Nobody gives a fuck about the table, nobody coming near it
>Like 10 people around us, including other vendors, doing the same thing I am

That's the only time anybody has even implied there's anything wrong with it. So I assume anybody that thinks there's something wrong playing games in public is just as much of a faggot.

>pft she was cute but whatever, I wasn't in the mood for sex
I legitimately hope you're lying

You seriously fucked up man.
You could have dressed her up as a Pokegirl or Gardevoir.
Wasted opportunity I tell ya.

You really should put a space between that greentext and your actual reply. I've been here since 2007. You're falling for a shitty /r9k/ meme.

>sitting at bus stop
>playing mega man on my phone
>dude asks "is that mega man?"
>reply "yea, the first one"
>"oh, cool"
>turns out he was a childhood friend who was in town

Cringe.

Did you fuck him?

Yep. :)

Grow up

Real life will be better for you.

No?
I mean I'm fairly young and not a fat ugly fuck like that dude, but still. Do people actually do that?

I had a gf for pretty much a whole year transferring from junior-senior year who I smashed like 3 times a day I was worn the fuck out when I dumped her. Also picked up porn so I think my interest in girls was pretty tarnished for the remainder of high school

No, my girlfriend actually plays our switch in public and at work. Nobody will laugh at you as long as you aren't ugly, fat or a weirdo

If you play games in public in Australia, you're putting yourself in danger. It's not uncommon to hear of some gamer autist getting a beer bottle smashed over their head.

>he doesn't want to fuck every human with a pussy
gay

Whenever I play video games in public, it ALWAYS GOES DOWN LIKE THIS.

>Stranger or co-worker takes notice
>"Oh hey user, that looks neat. What is is that? What game are you playing?"
>Give a brief description without sounding too autistic
>"Cool! I think my son/daughter plays games like that. I wish I had time/could afford/could understand games like that. Have fun!"
>"Thanks! Have a good day!"
>both of us then go about our day like normal human beings

Oosh. Maybe you should be smashing those bottles over chinks' heads instead, but hey who am I to judge?

Only if you live outside of cities.
There are numales everywhere is Aus.

guy needs a break every now and then

unless you wanna come over here and let me fuck you ( >3

>"Why are you playing your 3DS at a convention? You should talk to people."

Does this guy have brakn damage? Yes, cons are a great way to meet people with mutual interests, but everybody plays games together while waiting in line or just to take break from walking around when there is down time

>Grow up
Says the manchild playing with a kids toy in public

It's actually got nothing to do with race the country has a huge fucking ice problem.

>my son/daughter plays games like that
your co-worker compared you to a child lmfAO

even if that were true (it isn't, by the way) I wouldn't care.

Their children that are the exact same age as me?

I'm convinced he does. He's an idiot, but somehow thinks he's above everybody. Uses big words but has flimsy arguments

Who?
My braindead coworkers? The niggers on the bus? I mean maybe, but I don't see why I should care?

Righht, that's just part of being an adult right? :^)

*Bing, bang, wahoo!*

>>"Why are you playing your 3DS at a convention? You should talk to people."
Streetpasses son

Not because of the fact you're playing a game, more that you're not paying attention in public, making a target of yourself. There's plenty of larger cities that this won't happen in, but fuck me the ice problem is getting worse
Protip for living in aus, live among old people. They're the only people that the government here does anything to help, those locations will be the last bastion against the increasing horde of Ice zombies

If someone's going to judge me at least don't be a pussy and not say it to my face.

You're living a shitty life if you actually waste your time judging people for playing games. Especially since you go on Sup Forums.

I played my 3ds at a party and a group of dick jocks came over and dragged my head to a toilet. I pretty much never take my 3ds outside now.

When I was 14 I was really preoccupied with being a mature adult and tried to discard everything I perceived as childlike only to secretly indulge in a lot of it. Then I grew out of that mindset, because I stopped being 14.

As long as you are good looking you can do whatever you want however i still think quentin is right, like dude you can get your 3ds stolen or some serious shit could happen around you and you wouldn't notice because you are concentrated in your vidya it is retarded to play videogames outside

>I'm fat
>Shave thrice a month
>only topic I can talk about for more than ten minutes is videogames
>Adult with acne
>short
>teeth aren't white
>But hey, as long as I'm not playing a video game in public nobody will judge me
The shit desperate people cling to in order to feel superior to absolutely anyone will never cease to amaze

Nah mate even the old people towns are fucked.Look at Lismore,its full of old people and its got a massive ice and abo problem

Not ex-tradie old people

>work job as driver for literal retards
>on call duty, sitting around waiting to get a call to drive mail, food or whatever
>basically freetime
>play some 3ds
>60yo other driver walks by
>"stop playing yer gameboy! what if the boss sees you?"
>i couldn't have given less of a fuck, job paid like 330€ a month anyways, fucking bugged me that he called the 3ds a gameboy though

Yes, I was on the train playing my vita with headphones and a bunch of girls asked if I was actually playing games in public and laughed as they walked off.
Was playing trails of cold steel

I played my psp at school one time and some guy that failed a lot of his classes in high school said some annoying shit I can't really remember
don't really play video games in public though

>There are numales everywhere is Aus.
Melbourne*
FTFY

When I was in High School normal kids could play pokemon emulations on their phone and no one would say shit, even popular girls were doing it early on like "omfg im such a nerd!!!" (just your casual gay nigga shit), but one kid played it on ds and he got SO much shit for it. Only time ive seen "gaming" in public and he got his shit roasted for it 24/7

Never, but in college and there was this guy who always watched me play metal slug on my psp or etrian odyssey on my ds, the fucker ALWAYS sat next to me and whenever he stared he didn't move an inch, it seemed like he didn't breath either since he never made a single noise, we got off on the same stop as well but he always went the opposite way, he never talked to me, he only stared at the screen.

I'm not sure if i miss him or not, i always felt like he was going to stab me and steal my psp.

They're either underage, you're ugly, or both.

No. Why would I be?

why do you niggers repost this same thread so often?

I love rainy days. They're god tier over everything else. Even fucking snow.

Easy (You)s.

I played my ds on a flight once, a drunk man started screaming about how crazy the game i was playing was and explained how games were simpler and better when it was just atari. he hit a lady on the head with his carry-on when he got off the plane.

Way back in primary school I was playing Pokemon at lunch and one of the bullies yanked my cartridge out. Thankfully I messed him up with that nerd rage and it was the last time he came near me.

I've seen them in other cities plenty.
Shit I'm even seeing them way up north where I live, bought some beer the other day and got served by some dude with thick rim glasses and twirled mustache on his beard.

>a drunk man
Is that a thing in the US? My mother went to the US in the 90s and she told me that she had to sit next to a drunk guy, and in march went I was coming back from Tokyo a guy on my flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta was totally drunk.

>i always felt like he was going to stab me
>I'm not sure if i miss him or not
>being this desperate to be noticed by another human being
I'm sorry, user. I hope you find someone soon

t. ESL

No, because I'm actually decent looking, and the game so I play in public are memory and knowledge games.

That's even worse.

No. 99% don't give a fuck, or if they do they aren't autistic enough to actually confront someone about it

Can't play in public because niggers or mestizos will try to steal my Vita

>What are old people?

no

no i sit in quiet zones and in general try not to bring attention to myself.

>referring to real life areas as "quiet zones"
