Whenever playing video games, I go through this whole ritual (minimize daylight via closing blinds with light toward ceiling + blackout curtain + set air to 72F with space heater at 85F (to keep air circulating) + cleaning my glasses + set up my TV to specific settings to minimize latency and maximize graphics presentation + etc.) to make sure maximize the enjoyment I get out of the game.

That said… the thought of picking up my Switch 2 and casually playing it on-the-go just boggles my mind. I can’t even look at my phone in a moving vehicle without getting motion sickness! How can somebody play something like Dark Souls or The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask so casually in public? I speak as somebody who mostly games on (PC and) Switch 1/2.

i dont really sit in front of the tv anymore to game. I now prefer to use a handheld, be it the steam deck, switch, evercade, portal or g-cloud. I feel the smaller screen, but closer to my face, is a better experience than sitting on a couch 6-8ft away from a 55" tv. Maybe if i had an even bigger TV... like 85+ inches, then things could be different. As it is, i like the portability and ease of just taking the device with me to different areas instead of only being in one place.

I used to play games on the go a good deal as a kid with handhelds like the GBA and DS but nowadays I basically never do that since the downsides are too great. Same goes for why I never watch stuff like films on my phone. Even disregarding the screen being way smaller I prefer speakers to headphones and don't play games or watch stuff while laying in bed so it's just all around much worse experience for me.

I ride the train about an hour to and from work everyday. Generally play my Switch on the way. I can't always play in a car, but train is fine.

Nah I'm the same as you actually, prefer to game on my own TV where I have the settings just right, on a comfy couch, in a controlled environment.

Gaming on the go just isn't my thing.

I play my handhelds at home. Most the time Switch is docked but sometimes play it in my chair while watching a show. My mind is too busy when in public to try and concentrate on a game. I don't even have anything on my phone. On the go just have headphones on listening to music and just think about stuff.

When my wife is on the ps5 , i go on switch portable. When she's shopping occasionally, ill be in the car on switch. I wish switch had 4k support on most games, for some reason it looks beyter handheld.

Can't just game for short periods. I've gotta have a bare min of a couple hours, typically more. I also don't like to be uncomfortable or bothered. I want to be able to relax and be pulled into the experience. Mobile gaming on the go rarely allows for that so it doesn't interest me.

I play at home on my TV, with my Switch 2 docked and using the Switch 2 Pro Controller.

When I'm going to something where I know I will be sitting for a long time with nothing to do, such as getting car maintenance, or flying, my Switch 2 comes with me. It passes the time in flight and in the airport while waiting to board/during layovers. If I'm not going somewhere where I will have a lot of downtime, I won't bother bringing any games.

I don't play in the car. Law enforcement frowns on me playing games in the car while I'm driving, so I don't do it. 

No.

Back around 2013, while going on college, I would sometimes play Block Breaker 3: Unlimited on my phone while waiting for my ride. But that's all, I'm not really into handheld gaming.

I purchased a 2DS in 2017, but I barely play it, and always at my home.
