Thread 724027098

Something I don't understand about modern handheld gaming is who tf has the balls to take these flimsy expensive things out into public?

Still buying a Switch 2

in public? no one. they're for sitting on the couch and playing while you play shitty TV shows on your TV to listen to as background noise.

Japan. They spend over half their lives on trains.

I don't even see children using them in public. It's usually dygenic or fat milleniams who just stopped caring.

>>724027265
what's taking you so long to buy it?

>who tf has the balls to take these flimsy expensive things out into public
Me. Why do you give a fuck what people think in public? My biggest concern is some nog on a jog who might try to take it, forcing me to gun him down in justified self-defense and having to deal with cops after.

>>724027098 (OP)
At most it's on a Plane/hotel room or in the passenger seat of a car. People aren't playing them on a Park bench or on the subway.

>>724027265
OP here. I own a switch 2. I just can't imagine ever taking it outside. I might take it to my parent's house or something but that's about it.

>>724027098 (OP)
deck suckers do it

>>724027556
That's exactly what I mean. What if I drop it? What if someone tries to swipe it out of my hand or knock it to the ground? People are so unpredictable and it's an expensive item

>>724027429
Kek look at how mad he made you. Don't worry what other people like esl

>>724027429
I'm waiting for a limited edition skin that I like

>>724027656
It's 2X less expensive than my phone which travels everywhere with me.

>>724027693
no anger, just curiosity

>>724027808
I feel like phones are a bit more sturdy

>>724027429
He eats pagpag pls understand

>>724027656
These were problems with any handheld except maybe the original game boy brick.

>>724027808
phones are everywhere, they don't draw attention like a switch 2 would, retard.

I bought a switch 2 to play nintendo games, not to BING BING in public. This is currently their only console.

>>724028147
Well they aren't

>>724029890
Are you telling me someone is going to literally take it from my hands and run?

>>724027098 (OP)
I've ever seen someone pull one out in public once. It was a sweaty bald fat dude, the meme itself, in a crowded bus.

>>724027265
grampa's got the moves!

>>724027098 (OP)
I saw a dude in time hortons once

$50 chinkhelds are your actual portable option these days.

>>724034116
Care to recommend a good one?

I don't think you have to take them out in public.
The only really good situation to use a Switch outside home is either you're on a long travel by bus (the ones where you sleep there), traveling by plane or maybe even taking it to work.

At least in my case, the Switch being "handheld" has just made it easier when I want to take it to a friend's home to play there or if I want to play on bed.

>>724027098 (OP)
I bring my entire PC with me out in public. Used to feel bad about my MOM berating me for bringing a backpack with me, but NO LONGER!

>>724027628
First, why are there so many teenagers at a playground, second, why is he playing adult games at a place kids as young as 2 year old are playing.

>>724027808
>2x less expensive
We call that 'half'

>>724027098 (OP)
I take my Rog Ally X on airplanes.
Otherwise my Switch is hooked up to my TV and I bring it into bed if I am sick. I'd bring it on a plane too but the last time I bought a new Switch game was ZA and I've played it at home, before that is was probably 13 Sentinels years ago

Can someone please tell me if 720p Switch 1 games look THAT bad on the Switch 2 in handheld?
I want to buy one on the first but idk...

>>724034525
It do be like that mr. stancil

>>724027098 (OP)
no lie i saw a homeless person with a switch a few years ago at a cvs

>>724027098 (OP)
Thinking back, if my Game Boy Color wasn't at home at with me, it was either on trips (in a car with my parents) or sometimes at a friend's house. Neither of which happen anymore. Airplanes too but I can count on one hand how many times I've flown in the last ten years.

Kids that brought their Game Boy to school or other public places got theirs lost or stolen.

>>724027098 (OP)
I play it on business class flights that my company paid for.

>>724027693
You mean how mad he made you.

>>724036086
>not even the OLED version

also enjoy raising Tyrone's mutt kids, i guess

>why yes I deliberately assume everything i see on the internet is real, no doubt about that.
Based retard.

>>724039456
i know it's real because it's on reddit and it's not atypical for a redditor to act like this

>>724027098 (OP)
DS's are fine, or they used to be before they became trendy. you could take one anywhere and nobody would touch it because it gets them basically nothing back when sold.
"handheld" gaming is basically just couch gaming now

>>724027098 (OP)
They're for cafeterias, hotels, travel and such. Even nintendo understands that the "commute" market is dominated by the smartphone, so any handheld has to target long term use over quick plug and play portability

>>724027628
>babysitting kids
>leaving them on their own in a park while he plays dumb games

>>724039672
yep, playing games on a plane is max comfy

>>724027098 (OP)
The point is not for me to take it in public but to take it from my living room to my fuckin bed.

>>724027656
Just don’t drop it or let anyone take it. Are you 8?

>>724027098 (OP)
>who tf has the balls to take these flimsy expensive things out into public?
Humans who doesn't live among brownoids and/or filthy niggers.

>hear bingshit next to me
you're going out of the plane mid flight

>who tf has the balls to take these flimsy expensive things out into public?
Yeah you can tell OP is either American or from Western Europe lmao

>>724027098 (OP)
Why wouldn't I?

>>724027098 (OP)
If you don't look like a neckbeard, dress like a toddler, or act like an overall faggot then literally nobody gives a shit.

>>724040369
firstly its an RPG and secondly they obviously have headphones as well you retard.

>>724040895
>erm its an rpg so its not bingshit
just playing that shit next to me would offend me

>>724040369
Why are you making up things to be mad at?

>>724040369
>>724041000
you wouldn't do shit

>>724040417
>or from Western Europe
Even there, people are hardly going to give a fuck unless there are several things about your appearance that set them off, such as being an ugly-looking goblin who didn't wash himself for two weeks.

>>724027098 (OP)
Well the Steam Deck is easily repairable and the parts are pretty cheap, so

>>724027098 (OP)
People who live in first world countries and don't have to worry about urban youth's grabbing their console out of their hands at the last second before exiting the subway.

>>724027098 (OP)
"Handheld" and "Portable" are different things.
Handheld implies it's pocketable since it "fits on your hand" while Portable implies it's, well, just portable.
Anything larger than a smart phone / Vita is not a "handheld" but "Portable" and nobody takes "Portable" things out of their home unless it's a laptop.

in high trust societies you can actually enjoy life without being in constant fear of getting robbed or murdered
