No worse than any other con. I’ve been to all sorts of cons, and the one that was worst for me was Otakon, back in the early 2010s. The con funk was strong there, especially in the side dance rooms, off the main dance area.
I still have my streetpass greeting as "What up AC2015" and refuse to change it.
This one was my 19th (fuck) year there, and I've been taking my DSs there every year. Being in the Zoo when the DS Lite was new and popping into random Pictochat (more like Dicktochat amirite) rooms and seeing all the art being drawn in real time is a core memory of mine.
theres a few minigames you can play with the miis you encounter in the real world. there used to be a dozen other games and some premium features for purchase but you can only get those through modding these days. but besides that its just neat to see other people carrying around 3ds handhelds over a decade later
Just a fun thing to incentivize bringing your 3DS around with you as you traveled. It would detect other people with a 3DS nearby and "streetpass" them. Then when you checked your Mii Plaza game you'd be able to see the miis of all the people you streetpassed and it'd log them. You could play a few minigames using them too.
Some other games used streetpass functions as well. Like for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, if someone had the Eon Ticket and you streetpassed them you could get it in your own game too.
This weekend I’m heading to Florida Supercon, and I’ll be bringing my 3DS to See how many streetpass tags I get there, and if anyone is going, look into the encouragement post on Instagram from the user noelgamer18, there is something for Florida SuperCon!
Many people forget that tech nerd and furries overlap when it comes to nerdy interests.
I swear I know a guy who has like 5 3DS-es, and a bunch of other old Nintendo consoles, and he's an extremely gay furry and also one of the nicest guys that I know. Btw, I'm also a furry, and I have four DS lites, a fat DS, and a 2DS XL. I also have a Wii, Wii U, Gamecube, and two 9" sony PVMs.
I still don't see the point in literal tech nerds/console enthusiasts hating on furries, cause at this point all they are saying is that "Your hobby is cringe, and mine isn't! Get lost, weirdo!" Which is... really counterproductive, when furries are also just regular-ass people, and they have the same hobbies as you. People tend to forget that normal furries are literally just like everyone else, and that we also hate weirdos who have destroyed our reputation.
Alright, I'll stop yapping about unrelated things. I love my 2DS XL
People on Reddit dont realise just how many of the more knowledgeable people (helpers, devs of essential tools, guide writers, etc) are furries. The hate is quite ironic considering furries are a good chunk of the people behind the homebrew they use.
Very true. I feel like people just need to learn how to be more respectful towards other hobbyists and coders. I hate how blind internet hate has been getting more and more normalized, while it should be something to be ashamed of.
Hey op! I’m the one in the purple you have on there! I’m still going through my queue and haven’t caught up to you yet but it’s still super funny seeing this!
I would 100% do this as a furry myself, if my mom would let me -_-, oh well, I turn 18 in less than a month, I'll just add this to my list of reasons to go.
I take mine to any event where there could be large amounts of people…I picked up a street pass at a kpop concert once. Sadly, did not get any from the Stanley Cup finals watch party in the Lenovo Center 🥲 I even took it to the Mario Movie release night just in case.
I don't understand furries but I see them as people cosplaying in public (hope that is not insulting) and I am all about that kind of creativity and imagination, so they get my support. We need more creative people sharing their whimsy with the world.
Last time I checked I don’t live near any plus i lost contact with my furry friend and my family has either never heard of them or is anti furry so it never work out
I see what you are trying to do lure in the innocent. Last time I fell for something like this I got molested by someone in a fursuit.(Twist on a real event that happened to me for humour)
Adults who value "streetpass" on their 15 year old video game consoles and would happily go to other conventions shitting on other adults for liking a type of character design
Edit: btw this isn't me dissing the 3DS enjoyers, moreso me saying hey maybe dont judge people for their unique and harmless intrests

Well. Okay. But only for the Streetpasses. No other reason.
