What do you think about adults playing video games in public? Is it acceptable or should it be chastised, perhaps even outlawed?

Only gamified learning resources like Clozemaster, Duolingo, Memrise etc. are acceptable, desu.

Who fucking cares let people do whatever the fuck they want. Jesus Christ Nanny-state will never fucking go away.

If you're gonna be waiting around anyway, why not have a handheld console to occupy yourself with as opposed to just staring at your phone or reading a book?
I carry my 3DS everywhere and it has saved me from countless hours of tedious waiting.

I honestly don't care. Most of my fellow "adult" peers play video games on their smartphones. The only difference is that they can hide it better.

Yeah who cares what people think of you, that's part of being an adult.

>wah, WAH, WAHOO, D'OH, *1UP*, *1UP*, YIPPEE, SO LONG GAY BOWSER!

>What do you think about adults playing video games in public? Is it acceptable or should it be chastised, perhaps even outlawed?

And there ladies and gentleman you have a German.

As someone who enjoys playing games on my 3DS and Vita at home, I always cringe when I see people using them in public. My university has a large computer lab, and there are over a hundred people in there at any given time. I see countless people playing WoW or watching Let's plays and other assorted videos completely unrelated to school. I understand watching that stuff in your leisure time, in private, but for the love of God don't do it in public.

Honestly, I don't think it's necessary for us to inflict punishment or reprimand them because they're basically doing it to themselves. People will tend to stay away from them. That's punishment enough.

I wish I saw more adults playing videogames in public. Instead I see uppity niggers, single mothers, texting and driving, meth addicts, stumbling drunks, and trannies.

I personally do not mind it but even if it annoys you, why would you outlaw it? Are you an SJW using laws for your feefees?

I just think that tolerating it is detrimental to youths.

I gotta do something when I am waiting for the western civilization to crumble completely. I am fit, I know several trades. Work 4 to 6 days a week. I done my part. I know it's a waste because it will crumble soonish.

So I will read books and play vidya in public.

playing video games in infantile, period
(unless it's something like pic related)

>seeing people enjoying video games in public upsets me!

Were you perhaps bullied for playing vidya in public when you were a kid? Maybe it's insecurity keeping you from doing the things you enjoy doing in public.

>i only play mature video games for mature people
dont kid yourself
just because your game doesn't have gay graphics and sound effects, it doesn't make it much more mature

Adults acting like children in public upset adults, yes.

...

just joking, do whatever you want

Some ones mad they don't got the new pokemon. How's your teams look Polacks ?

>Video games are only for children

What narrow minded thinking you have there Hans.
Video games are an entertainment medium for every age and walk of life.

If you've got the sound off or headphones in what kind of backwards fuck would you have to be to have that be a problem?

God you guys are so epic counter culture mooooommy

Were you one of those Dorf Fortress shills on Sup Forums like 8 years ago?

It's fine when waiting for something.

>playing video games

>adult

Pick one

As long as it's Monster Hunter, it's fine.

It's a proof of high IQ being good at it, especially when playing hammer. Most Monster Hunter players are GS/IG/(Bow)Gun online easy mode scrubs, though.

It's the most complex and satisfying PvE combat there is.

its fine as long as you're playing monster hunter

UNLESS YOU'RE A FUCKING BAGUETTE GLAIVE MOTHERFUCKER OF COURSE

it's actually a pretty nice game if you like history and naval warfare
I'm slowly playing German North Sea campaign right now and it's one of most epic games I ever played

>should it be chastised, perhaps even outlawed?
You literally cannot shed your Nazi ass skin, can you?

>feeling superior because your autism isn't video game autism

>perhaps even outlawed
For what purpose? Why would you outlaw someone playing a video game when it doesn't even affect you?

Yes it should be outlawed in public.

...

Jeb is a mess
Jeb is a waste

lol lookin' good

I found my old game and watch the other day. I might play it on the train and trigger you guys.

Playing pokemon in public is the ultimate red pill.

Neat, which one is it?
Game and Watches are cool but I only have the Mario's Cement Factory one.

Ah, it`s Sup Forums`s favorite "Insecure nazi faggots wants to ban or outlaw stuff they don`t like before they get back to whine about authoritarian left SJW banning stuff" thread.

Go back to `lifting weights` and prepare for race war during which you will finally be purged.

>reading a book
Yeah lord forbid you learn something instead of playing dungeon porn 7: we wuz medieval and tranny

Donkey Kong 2, its pretty fun.

My little cousin saw it and I think his mind got blown by the super old DS.

>how dare people over the age of 18 have fun in public

>in public
What does that mean?Ever heard of personal space, commie faggot?

>DS stands for dual screen
my mind is blown

The point of modern Nintendo products is to make them playable for people of all ages. The point of making them portable is so their games can be played in public. I'm not seeing a problem here.

Honestly Monster Hunter is pretty red pilled.

It doesn't hold your hand in the slightest. There is no easy mode, it's either you can do it or you fail.

You have to work for everything you earn in the game.

Even the "easier" weapons still require you to have a degree of skill to tackle the harder monsters in the game.

>tolerating people playing games
You're German, right?

For someone so white...

How can you be such a nigger?

It depends on what game really

Monster Hunter gets a pass because its a high Test game. All that Merrio and Pokeyman shit can fuck off.

It's no worse than people playing sports or performing any other activity in public

This fucking commercial
>i'm meeting my friends to go play some real basketball
>this sucks, did you guys bring your nintendo switch? because i did

*1 UP*
*WAHOo*

> Gen X and Boomers had jobs, money
> Problem is expensive illicit drugs

> Millenials and Gen Z have NEETdom and debt
> Problem is cheap video games

Literally kids are too poor now to go clubbing or do lines.

Depends on the game.

Someone playing solitaire or virtual cards is fine.

Someone playing a game that involves some type of role playing (fag shooting aliens, etc) should feel bad.

Essentially its a social marker to how autistic you are (e.g. Brain Damaged), those with low levels of brain damage automatically recognize that you appear weak to be in public and pretending to be someone else (like pretending to be a fag shooting aliens).

Whereas a person playing virtual cards is not altering their base persona in anyway. They are just engaging in a mental diversion to pass the time.

Funny how the people who say this would never play sports.

But this is what you're claiming: drinking three cans of monsters a day is the same as drinking a cup of tea at noon because they're both caffeinated drinks.

MH is redpilled as fuck
>keep these immigrant dragons away from the villages

I think video games are a waste of time, but it's your money, do what you want.

why do manchildren always get upset when they realize that adults think they're ridiculous

Hi quentin

Wonder if a hypothetical Sup Forums of the past would've had a thread like this about the internet, tv, music, newspapers and books.

Pretty sure it would, since you just love being contrarian here.

Dunno, but your people seem to be the most upset, especially since we don't really care what you think.

If must stink not knowing what fun is.

Playing with children's toys is bit fun. It's embarresing. Same goes for Video Games.

*not fun
*embarrassing

Also, consider reading books, or working in craftsmanship instead. Those hobbies are more mature and more rewarding than children's vidya.

I see adults at my job play games on their smartphones sometimes during their lunch waiting for their other friends.

That's ok I guess.

>living in sweden
>not living in a cucked country
Pick one

>I don't like something so it should be banned for everyone
Typical cuck logic

>chastised, perhaps even outlawed?
The fuck is wrong with you? When you're an adult, one of the perks is you do whatever the fuck you want to do.

Are you trying to make him agree that adults should be playing gameboys in public?

I have the original Donkey Kong clamshell somewhere in storage.

Only entertainment product I didn't pay for myself growing up.

Fucking manchildren, playing with their handhelds in public
*starts up Candy Crush*

Vidya is breddy gud, its just a newer version of reading the newspaper alone by yourself like people used to do when they were bored and TV ,vidya and the net weren't around.
Keyword here is "when bored". It's a hobby, anything more than that and the individual should be gassed.
Also,
>implying all dat VN and JRPG experience won't help in the 2d waifu age

lmao must be hard being a pleb eh ?

Should not been done in public, except maybe on a long bus ride if you're at the back.

I mean as long as they're wearing clean clothing and have self respect like any other person, I don't see the problem and outlaw for what? you might as well outlaw phones and any other devices


cu.ck

In a world where PCs, consoles, and arcades exist, there is no reason to ever play anything on a handheld.

There is an appropriate time and place for everything. If you are out in public, you have something more important to do than play a portable video game. Believe it or not, you do not need to cram video games - no matter how shitty they are - into every waking moment of your life.

Outlaw, though, is equally ridiculous. People have as much of a right to piss their life away on a 2" LCD to play some watered down bullshit as I do to decry them as being the manchildren that they are when they do so.

> The point of making them portable is so their games can be played in public.
Not really. The point of them being portable is because the Japanese only buy portable bullshit now, and Nintendo, as a Japanese company, truly only cares about making products for Japanese people.

pathetic

the only games an adult should play are educationnal simulators and study tools.

>arcades exist
Not since the fucking 80s here.

>Pedro being this mad that he can only afford educational pc games from the 90s

>he doesn't play games in public and slays pussy by night

>adults playing video games
it's fine, mum is a guild leader. she's old as hell and still get the free attention for being female i'm laughing so hard. dad plays too

>playing video games in public
autism, surely they have something else to do in public. i mean why?

>the only games an adult should play are educationnal simulators and study tools.
that's actually even more lame than just playing computer games

Fuck off Ahmed.
Sure beats blowing up!

Adults playing videogames in public?
That's public humiliation enough, I don't know why some people punish themselves like that.

why is that?

While travelling is fine by me, just to vidya in public is retarded

If I do it. Which is rare, it's because I have absolutely no desire to interact with the people around me. And it works.

"What are you playing?"
"Shin Megami Tensei"
"Oh..."

Fucking normies. Yes I know, muh autism. I dont give a fuck. I have a family to feed and I dont care about much else. Most people suck anyways.

>only buy portable bullshit now
>now
The gameboy has been around since the early 90s. Portable games are nothing new.

Believe it or not, they were made to be taken to a friends house to be played there or played in public

>why
Looking for a time sink when waiting, maybe?
Travelling to/from work via public transport?

...

Who cares, you're the only one sperging about it.

No its much better to pretend we dont play games and just watch brain numbing television in waiting rooms.

> I dont give a fuck.
>Most people suck anyways.
Chaosfag detected.

how fucking dumb are you
you will never be able to ban anything ever just because you don't like it
live and let live ffs

t.ancap

Monster hunter is the shit yo

>that post
>that flag

checks out

whatever you say, mohamed

It's super common on all public transport in NYC / Chicago / LA.

I think you'd kind of have to be a faggot to even ask if it's acceptable.

monster hunter is such an alpha game

what kinda autistic fucktard would forbid that?
it's just a normal pastime.

Pokemon is based, mofugga.
come at me, bro, fite me, I'm ripped.

>muh ordnung

who the fuck cares about your autistic opinion

>I carry my 3DS everywhere

>ages 5-13
playing so you don't annoy your parents, even though you were enjoying every min of playing pokemon red or blue
>ages 14-17
you're that guy/group in school that enjoys video games the pre (2007) where you're a loser for playing games in public but no one really cares.
18+
Man Child.

>everybody who enjoys games must certainly look like this
