Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound? (kbin.social)

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?

For not just using headphones? A little, yeah.

I use bone conductors almost all the time. They're great.

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!

I just use headphones if my wife is on the TV.
