3DS survey

[domflo]

1. I use my 3DS for longer travels. I take it with me most of the time (same as my PSP, PS Vita and a GBA) and use it every week when I travel from home to my flat near the university, which is about 1 1/2 hours by train and bus. Generally, I'll use it whenever the ride is longer than 30 minutes. I also sometimes use it on campus when there's nothing better to do.

2. I'm not ashamed, no. Everyone thinks something about what he/she sees. So if someone sees me playing 3DS, of course he will think something to himself. I'm aware that that thought might be a negative one, but that doesn't bother me, because, really, it's the same with everything you do. If I'd worry about stuff like that, I'd have a hard time deciding on what clothes to wear or how to style my hair. I don't. I do what I like, and as long as that doesn't harm or bother anyone, I should feel free to do it.
And, generally, if people actually come up and comment on me playing 3DS, their comments have only been positive. I've never had anyone telling me how it is childish to play Nintendo or some stupid stuff like that.

Even in middle school (where I think this is a bigger problem than it is in University) I usually was very open about being a Nintendo fan and Pokémon enthusiast, even though there were some people calling me out based on that. I didn't bother, and I actually found out that a lot of the guys that acted though and "too cool for Nintendo" had bought all the new Pokémon games and were generally interested in what I was playing as long as they weren't with their group of friends. It's funny; they probably pretended to not care about Nintendo/Pokémon to not get rejected by their "friends" even though their friends (for the most part) also played Pokémon. I don't know if they ever noticed.
