Do you actually use the 3d feature?

I never did because the people at GameStop freaked me out. When my mom bought my 3ds for my birthday when I was 8, the guy said my eyes would mess up if I used the 3D feature. I thought he meant my eyes would literally fall out so I’ve never used it. Nowadays, I just have no interest in trying it out

HAHAHAHA the same thing happened to me. When I was 10 years old someone told me that the 3D function caused eye damage and when they gave me the old 3DS at 11 years old... I basically only tried the 3d twice. I think it would be really cool to play in 3d on a New 3ds but unfortunately I only have the old one and the 2DS XLI never did because the people at GameStop freaked me out.

Nintendo: Here's a 3D slider to adjust the intensity of 3D. Fans: EWWW NO!! >:O Nintendo: Introducing Nintendo Labo. Strap the Switch to your face and wear a suit of cardboard. Fans: YESS. HAVE MY MONIES!!! :3
Lol no but really, the 3D feature isn't too impressive, I would say.
3D wasn't a thing back when they tried it with the Virtual Boy back in 1995, it's still not a thing when they tried it in 2010 with their 3DS and still not a thing with their cardboard nonsense, the Nintendo Labo in 2018. 
We don't want 3D, Nintendo..... but do keep trying. It's amusing seeing grown men wave their little joycons while strapping a Nintendo Switch to their eyeballs.

I didn’t even know that this was a thing in the game.

I don't use it because it only looks right from one angle and I just don't hold my ds still all the time when I play. Sometimes I'll turn it on to see what something looks like but it's better for some games than others. Sometimes I use it for 3d flip notes.
Every now and then I'm like "ohh right this is a feature!" and I think it's cool for 5 seconds, before I feel like I'm going cross eyed and I have to focus a lot on at what angle I look at my DS. Usually I turn it off again after a few minutes of really not being immersed in my game anymore 
It's a cool feature when you hit juuuust the right angle but if i move ever so slightly it's just a pain.

I don’t know why but after about 10 minutes or so i got headaches so never had it turned on, maybe was overreaction to the fuss over the warnings that made me think the headaches were worse but it wasn’t a essential part of New Leaf at all

I've used it a couple times just to see what it was like, but it's otherwise always off.
