Can't tell if really ate out or just looking at food on screens

Really ate out. I just don't have a good way of getting my DSi photos onto my phone.

Do you carry around your dear DSi? This is very tender and retro, as well as slightly childish.
Well, on closer inspection you are actually very young: lucky you.

I'm assuming childish was a mistranslation of some sort? I've only heard it used negatively.

Why, in your country are young men walking around with their handheld consoles, not ashamed of it?

Why would you be? People walk around with phones and smart watches all day

I would be more embarrassed to be caught with one of those apple vision pro 3500 USD ripoffs

Those, theoretically, would not be primarily for playing: one can "camouflage" (hide) more easily with those.
Walking around with a console is a braver, or perhaps brash, choice.

Brave and brash? Shameful? How are you getting that? Perhaps if DSi owners were actively discriminated against and harassed then it would be brave- but the thing is that nobody cares. I've been taking photos (in public) with my DSi for years. I have never gotten any look or comment of any sort besides a couple people saying "hey cool, I used to have one of those."

Good for you. Your society is known to be very tolerant, in small things as well as in big things. Here the same peers would brand you as lame, nerd, loser or the like. Gaming is a forbidden pleasure, to be enjoyed in the privacy of home.

Where do you live??? Also american society isn't "tolerant." To be tolerant of having a DSi implies that people actively dislike or frown upon the DSi. Again, nobody cares.

Let me explain further. Kids here want to mature quickly, and they often see gaming, as opposed to playing sports, as a childish and unsociable pastime. Have I made myself clear, lad?

Clear in parts, but this entire thread has been you talking me down. Childish, should be ashamed, brash, only tolerated... I have trouble understanding that. It's just weird.

Let's say that I often express myself between serious and facetious. And then there are the differences in culture and customs, and then my clumsy and limited english. Come on, let's make up, lad.
I also gave you some likes.

There was no facetiousness. Anyways, I'd just suggest choosing some words more carefully.

I've never known anyone to dislike the ds

I used to use it as an e-reader and mp3 player in college (Jesus a decade ago now)

I haven't liked it for an mp3 player, but it's pretty good for reading. I love using this https://db.universal-team.net/ds/ikureader

Though you definitely need a DSi XL for anything like that.

I used ikureader on regular dsi and read brothers karamazov on there just fine. It's not a great mp3 player, sound low and bad quality - but I was poor and didn't have a smart phone back then xD

I'm just looking at the C O F F E E

I think @Nikokaro just meant that in some parts of Europe, being caught with "unfitting" "child's toy" (or anything socially "unfitting" really) is frowned upon, and you'll get dangerously bullied for it (as in, getting your thing stolen, being beaten up, sexually assaulted, etc.).

Good to hear that you actually get positive social connections with your DSi instead of negative ones!

What I actually wanted to reply:

Those DSi XL screens are really nice

Also please set your clock!
