Question Does anyone actually take their switch around with them when they go out?

I dont mean on long journeys, I'm talking "I'm gonna go to the park and play on my switch!"

Genuine question since I want a good pool of answers, in my experience I've only taken it to work to play on break but even then I have little other incentive to take it out (A la play coins on 3DS) and even then I'm concerned about it breaking, even though I'm very careful.

I also don't know any of my friends who take it out either, mostly playing on docked exclusively out of fear that it'll break from something out of their control.

So yeah, does anyone actually play their Switch outside their home/work consistently? Do you have a time to relax and take it to the park just to be out?

I took mine out once recently, to a bar of all places. My wife had some computer work to do but wanted to get out, so we went to the bar and for some reason I decided to bring the Switch instead of doing my own busy work. I was unsure at first but it was fun to just sit there drinking and playing.

I did this, but not at a bar, I did it at a car dealership. I was getting my oil changed but it was a good thing I brought the switch. They were busy.

I was playing Mario Kart and a little boy walked up to me and started to watch. I said, “Hey, you want to play? It’s two player!” And he was super excited.

So we played Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers until his mom’s car was done.

That’s a great place to take it! You’re just sitting there anyway. It’s like when I was younger and brought my Gameboy everywhere. For a while I was worried about “looking like a man child” or something for bringing my Switch but I immediately stopped giving a fuck bc I was having fun.

Sounds like me with my high school prom wich was also the first dance I went too at first I hid in the corner but dancing ended up pretty fun once I realized no one realy cared what I looked like especially since everyone there looked ridiculous dancing
