    I feel attacked. I bought one these gamepads where you put your phone in. Loaded the phone up with bunch of emulators and roms. I havent used it it public but once. I cant stomach outing myself as a 30+ gAmEr in public. Its a me problem and i should just give less of a fuck but i simply cant.

      The only time someone has said anything to me about my playing my Deck in public was a guy who had an Asus portable and wanted to chat about it.

      Literally no one cares. Well, besides children who will think you’re awesome.

        I think a big part of the problem for 30s+ gamers is that we grew up hearing how gaming = lazy bums, and it’s hard to break away from that. I think in company of other gamers it’s cool, but you still expect non-gamers to judge you
