who the fuck thought this was a good place to put the fucking power button? I've turned my fucking 3Ds off so many fucking times mid hunt in monster hunter I've lost count and at this point at least 3 hours or progress. And okay maybe I'm fucking weird for hitting it, WELL GUESS THE FUCK WHAT why would a slight touch of the button close out of the fucking game without warning losing my fucking progress? Why the fuck does it not function like the home button, which doesn't throw my game in the shitter, but pauses the game and asks me what the fuck I want to do, BECAUSE MAYBE I DIDN'T WANT TO HIT THE FUCKING BUTTON YOU FAGGOT
It does happen to be in the place right where my pinky likes to wiggle around and curl up in.
I've never had this problem.
>played RF4 for 250 hours on new 3DS
>this never once happened
My anecdotal evidence trumps yours, suck my dick.
>>323379426
mid fight I find myself stabilizing the system with my pinky on the bottom, like how I use my phone. AND THEN FUCK YOU ITS ALL FUCKING GONE HAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT WAS FUN
It's better than the positioning on the original 3DS XL, but still pretty shitty.
>>323379285
Because nintendont
>>323379586
>not monster hunter
>a fucking strategy game I could play with one finger
gtfo no shit you haven't hit it I havent hit it playing fire emblem you fucking twat
>>323379285
they probably assumed most people don't have the coordination of a retarded monkey.
>>323379285
Literally how? How fucking fat are your hands if they're doing that?
How the hell do you end up hitting that button.
I mean it's shitty placement when compared to the fucking regular 3DS, but still.
>>323380934
>>323380898
pinky goes to rest on the bottom without me noticing, muscle memory from playing PAD and then boom its all gone, never do it on purpose my pinky just ends up doing it. too be fair my hands are p much as big as the 3Ds
>>323379837
Are you fucking flailing around while hunting monsters? Jesus.
>>323379837
Rune Factory 4 is a strategy game?
>>323381871
>pinky goes to rest on the bottom
I shouldn't be responding to this.
>>323379285
I also hate that the circle pad still leaves a print on the top half of the system
How have they not fixed that issue yet?
>>323379285
Are you kidding? You have to press the thing as hard as fucking possible for like 10 seconds to turn it off. Shit I thought mine was broken at first because it was so hard to turn off. And shit, what kind of retarded position would your hands have to be in to even hit the fucking button? The only way you could accidentally turn it off is if you were fucking retarded.
I've got no idea what the hell you're complaining about.
>>323384875
with a simple tap mine turns off if you had to hold it my problem would be solved
Holy fuck Op don't remind me, I carved a plate off a rath tail then mid fight my pinky pressed the off button by accident. Haven't played Mon. Since
>>323381871
>pinky goes to rest on the bottom without me noticing
Are your fingers fucking broken? I shouldn't even be replying to this, you're either hideously deformed or stone cold retarded.
>>323385146
>>323384767
>>323385679
That's a phone.
I feel like this is copy pasta from when the New 3DS first launched, but I'm not too sure.
I wish there was a CPP for the NewXL.
I dont trust the nipple.
>>323379285
I have more of a problem with the Stylus location.
On the original 3DS XL, i can easily get the stylus without thinking about it or repositioning my hand really.
on the new XL I have to find it, and kind of try pinching it to even pull it out, it's awkward.
>>323385737
>implying a 3Ds is a flat screen TV...
are you 10? have your hands not developed? Can you not hold a 3Ds with one hand?
>>323386270
Hello?
>>323385924
just got my 3Ds recently so it might as well be, my bad I'm late to the party
>>323385146
>>323384767
How small are your fucking hands? Resting your pinkies on the end of the console isn't an uncommon thing?
>>323386270
Why are you holding a 3DS with one hand? How do you hit the shoulders?
>>323386350
Hello?
>>323386350
hello?
>>323385679
you're a fucking idiot
>>323386604
>>323386680
Delete these.
>>323379285
I have literally never had this problem, and I have big hands.
>>323386136
granted i have the standard size but i can just use my pinky to flick it out, it's pretty convenient as long as it doesn't shoot all the way out. usually stops on its own about halfway.
>>323386698
>calling somebody an idiot for holding their handheld in a different manner
I think I may have found a legitimate autist.
I have a second gen PSP and I'm always turning it off by accident. I fucking hate that thing.
>>323386724
Delete this.
>>323386830
it might be for the XL, but mine feels like it's really in there, and my pinky nail isn't enough.
>>323386851
yeah the PSP is something else that shit was difficult to handle
>>323386895
This has gone too far.
>>323386501
that is literally the dumbest thing i've ever seen, how the fuck do your hands not cramp up? honestly if you're dumb enough to hold it like that you deserve to have it turned off.
>>323386136
DSi had the best stylus placement.
>>323387010
>>323387062
>how do your hands not cramp up
Have you tried it? Your pinkies would literally be resting on the end of the console. The palm of your hands would be grabbing the sides, so your pinkies would be able to relax under the edge.
I didn't even realize it was an uncommon thing until now, and neither did I believe people would start screeching because of different mannerisms.
>>323387062
there's literally no pressure on the pinky, have you never held a smart phone like that?
>>323387556
Have you? You're holding the unit with that pinky.
>>323379285
NO EXTERNAL SD CARD SLOT
WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?
>>323387760
yes its very stable and comfortable
>>323385679
^that is how I hold my phone, although I'm right handed
You don't know shit
>>323387470
>mfw i just tried to do that
jesus fuck your hands must either be absolutely titanic or completely fucking mutilated
>>323387062
I do it too. But I've never turned off my 3ds
>>323387062
One could also ask how you hold handheld without resting it on pinky or something?
Do you just grip it really hard so it's weight doesn't pull it down?
>>323387889
No other choice, the system had to use Micro SDs
and I guess they didn't want kids constantly losing their battery covers like people did with the GBC and GBA, so they made it so you have to unscrew the thing to get access to it
>>323387760
Except you're really not. If you're resting it so that your head is looking down on the screen, then your fingers would be the one absorbing the very-small amount of pressure.
The only time I could even understand your pinkies holding it up is if it was being held up completely straight, in which case, your palms would likely be the ones absorbing the weight, anyway.
>>323379285
what pissed me off about the 3ds layout is the fucking volume bar.. why the fuck is it resting on my left hand. I've turned the volume up accidentally so many fucking times, I don't want to hear the trash sounds
>>323388404
So how does your pinky hit the power button if it's not pressing on anything?
>>323388098
Not him, but I do something similar to keep the 3DS rested in my hands.
>>323388559
the power button is that sensitive and has to be pushed for such a short time a fucking feather dropping on it could turn it off
>>323388807
That's bullshit, I actually have trouble turning it off.
>>323388706
>holding it horizontally
Try again.
>>323388706
Problem there is that anon is holding the console vertically and not up, where your face and eyes is.
Unless you play slouching down, but that's something you can't do if you play lying down in bed, like I do a lot.
>>323388559
It's not "pressing" on anything, but it is resting on the bottom of the console. Not really sure about OP's case, but if you were even to exert the smallest amount of force on your pinkies, then it may accidentally press the power.
>>323388356
They could have made them accessible from the outside though, in the same way the old ones were, shit doesn't make sense.
>>323388986
really, cause my shit turns off whenever the fuck it wants it seems I've put it down on my bed and the shit turned off
>>323388098
My hands are bigger than average, but even when I was younger, I never really saw it as an issue. It's usually the way I hold most my handhelds.
>>323389073
this
>>323389205
Maybe you should stop throwing it
>>323385679
>>323386501
Oh cool, i'm not the only one. I'm glad I don't have a n3DS or I'd be enraged as well. I did this a lot with my PSPhat and DS-Phat. Sometimes I do this with my beer bottle, but that's just because of muscle memory.
>>323386846
>proving their point
>>323384827
>>323389102
True, but I think their thinking was probably something like
>Kids could lose microSDs really easily, let's do something about that.
>The average user will only ever need to replace the card once, if that, so let's just put under the battery cover.
>Genius!
LL master race reporting in.I'm out.
>>323388008
I've never once turned my DSi off by accident, it is literally the perfect handheld. How would you even manage to turn it off accidently?
>>323389451
didn't throw it anon, dropped it on my bed from like a foot at most
>>323386846
>WAAAAA I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM
>Don't hold the handheld that, how are you even playing like that god damn
>lol autist
haha oh wow
>>323386501
I just tried doing that, and your hands would have to be fuckhueg for that as well as gripping the console pretty damn hard to apply enough pressure to turn it off.
>>323379285
Thank God these things come with free warranties
My fucking Circle Pad doesn't move downward properly, and I'm one of the few Americans with the standard model
>>323389739
>Don't hold the handheld that
K. How's Engrish treating you anon
>>323389707
I can see how more people would accidentally turn it off when the button is on the face of it.
>>323389739
more like
>jeez, this isn't a very ergonomic design
>HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN HOLD IT LIKE THAT? FUCKING IDIOT
>okay, sorry
See? I can do it, too.
>>323388992
>>323389068
how the fuck are you supposed to hold it then?
>>323389563
Yeah, I suppose.
Iunno, I just sorta liked how quick and easy it was to upload pictures right to my PC
>>323390223
Have you not tried the wireless management? It might not be as quick, but it's pretty easy.
>>323390374
>Wireless management
Explain pls
>>323390495
it's in the system settings, under data management i believe. pretty well explains itself there. personally i don't trust wireless shit nearly as much as i trust actually putting the card in the computer.
>>323390781
it's basic FTP. there's nothing not to trust unless you just mean the fact it's inherently less reliable to transfer data wirelessly.
>>323390012
that button is hard as fuck to press
>>323386846
Apple said millions of people held their phone wrong when the iphone 4 came out
>Set up CFW on N3DS
>Get used to Start and Select throughout the process for rebooting and other shit
>Set up friend's O3DS for CFW
>Constanly power off the 3DS multiple times by force of habit when Start and Select are needed
>>323393240
yeah they told everyone that they required two hands...
>>323379285
The 3DS is just poorly designed. That's about it
My pinky finger does curl around near the power button, but I've never accidentally pushed it in over 1500 hunts in MH4U.
I don't have the tiny jap hands that the handheld was designed for either.
>>323393615
This thread is pretty much everyone saying they don't have this problem and OP is a unique case, though. I'm going to assume you don't have one, because you'd know that button is pretty damn hard to accidentally push.
