Do you feel embarrased playing "childish feeling" games?

No. But by who are you embarassed? People you know, or strangers?
Strangers don't know you, and will probably never think of you again after passing by.
While people who know you should be able to accept you for who you are.

For me it's not only that I don't mind anyone having the opinion that what I do is childish. I have way more important things to consider in life than that.
But it's also that I feel bad for anyone that thinks that way. It means they are probably limiting their own enjoyment by believing in this concept that something is "too childish". If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. What's the problem?

Both. My sister was around while I playing Minecraft not long ago and I was terribly embarrassed. She doesn't know enough about gaming to know that Minecraft is not just for kids...it's for us autistic people too. Lol. I joke. She doesn't know games can be for all ages.  But having people pass by the TV room while I'm playing as a child with animal ears in Ni no Kuni 2 and they are going on about the Kingdom of "Ding dong dell" and "higgledies" with a narrator out of a kids film is, as someone said above hurting the fragility of my manhood. I know it shouldn't but I find myself backing out to the ps4 home screen. I hope to overcome the uncomfortableness as I'm running low on content without a ps5 and some of these kid friendly games look great at there core gameplay plus they're cozy AF and I'm half sick of depressing worlds these days.
