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 think this is the best solution for these situations. I have a pair of aeroshokz and they do seem to work pretty well.

    I play 99% of my games without sound honestly. I only have time to play games in the evening, and I can’t focus on the sound if there’s other sound around me (like my wife talking or my son doing his toddler babble), so I just mute every single game.

    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!
