>>10928103>Does anyone else here actually play with their toys?Yeah, I still do, but as others have said I don't do the full *Pew Pew* thing. I also don't know if this counts as playing but I always keep one in my flannel pocket and kinda...do that thing as a kid looking out a car window, imagining a man running along side the car. Like I imagine I am me, human sized and at work with others, but underfoot and behind corners is my figure doing Metal Gear stuff.
>Do you ever feel embarressed doing so?Nah, I honestly like what I like and do what I like and don`t feel a need to explain, or really over-explain. I don't know if it`s confidence or autism but yeah, really don`t care about anything of the sort. I bust out manga or my PSP on break and wear obscure horror/punk/weeb stuff all the time too. You only get one life, so make yourself unhappy (while also not hurting or annoying others) and cater to normies?
>Did your parents/peers ever make fun of you for it?Eh, Mom tried and failed, and I think the general IDGAF attitude I have towards personal happiness vs societal norms would stop anyone from trying. You can`t really expose or humiliate someone who never really wanted to be a pawn in the rat race to begin with.
