I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result.
Am I just weird?
I just use headphones if my wife is on the TV.
For me it depends. If I’m playing a game for the first time, I have to have sound on, but if I’m not playing for the first time then I’m okay without sound. Also some games like factorio, cities:skylines, minecraft, etc I like to play with my own music or a podcast.
I don’t prefer it but it’s very different for sure. I grew up with a Hitachi laptop that didn’t have working speakers and so my NES and SNES games had no sound so I got pretty used to it.
These days as an adult it s just either or. Games with sound, great! Games without sound, so it is!

For not just using headphones? A little, yeah.
Headphones, brah
