I had to look it up. Is it this one right here?

I remember even Nintendo urging users not to put personal information in nicknames and signatures however. But that Pictochat thing was useless. The only practical use I found for it was communicated with people on the other side of the school bus.

@matana @coolboymew I remember back in elementary school, this was the case for playing games on the bus. It was okay at first because you are obviously not learning anything but there were then issues about lost, stolen, and damaged portables/cartridges so our school district had to ban them. Also, this was back when the original DS was relevant, so along with the ridiculously small cartridges, apparently some school board member was aware of PictoChat and there were concerns of students using it for communicating with strangers among other dangerous things despite PictoChat being local only.

@coolboymew Does the 3D enhance actual gameplay? I remember Iwata saying that the stereoscopic 3D would finally solve the issues of depth perception in otherwise 3D (as in three-dimensional movement) games, but I never hear about it from anywhere else.

>Handheld systems are perfect for bus rides especially
I don't use public transportation and playing games anywhere else appears to be even more frowned upon (usually because you are either expected to actually socialize or it is meant to be a quiet, no electronics area) so handhelds are basically useless for me at this point. But if I did use public transportation, I would probably play one as here in the US, using public transportation is socially frowned upon already (it's usually associated with people who can't drive due to mental disability for whatever reason, but it appears to be dying out).

@coolboymew
I avoid playing video games in public because of this mentality. I almost drifted away from gaming during the 3DS heyday because how playing anything other than mobileshit, sports games, Call of Duty, etc was increasingly being associated with autism despite being on the spectrum myself.

I was in high school around the time and I noticed that it was the weird kids who play their 3DS systems in the hallways and most of their writing assignments were about video games as if they couldn't talk about anything else. They would also forgo driving to school during junior and senior year just to play their 3DS on the bus. It was enough to make even me cringe.

And then Pokemon Go and the announcement of the Nintendo Switch suddenly made gaming socially acceptable again. I guess most people are willing to play Mario Kart and Smash at parties. Also helps that the Switch is marketed as a home console first.

>The 3D function was good shit because then you could activate it and play Senran Kagura on the bus
I couldn't even see the stereoscopic 3D and I have two perfectly working eyes. Granted, I never actually owned a 3DS and only played demo units so it might differ for certain games, but it felt like a useless gimmick for people who are able to see it.

@coolboymew Reminds me of these.

@thestrongest Or you could just use a P2P microblogging network like Twister.

@coolboymew We don't need any of this anymore.

@coolboymew I think people start hating on the fanbases if said fanbase is filled with those who are autistically obsessed with the work/franchise. Fan-fiction, rule-34, etc can ruin it for people.

I think the best thing to do is just ignore the fanbase and enjoy a work/franchise on its own merit.

@djsumdog You are probably the only one I heard of whose played the PC version.
