Yeah it's a little weird but I just don't feel good about taking it outside yet... maybe that will change.

As for the second part of your comment, it's simple. Playing handheld video games in public is not typical or socially normal in the US... unless it's on your phone.

Why does it matter whether or not it's typical or socially normal? Are people going to beat you if you stand out as a minor nerd?

No. I play games during my commute all the time. I'm explaining why it is not more common in the US.
