Ugh! my 3DS IS OFFICIALY BROKEN!!!!

[Sour of Abnaxus]

I know right? PILLOW. NOT 3DS.
And the thread is going nowhere way too fast. TOOOO FAST.

The only problem with that is that throwing a pillow isn't as satisfying You could scream into it, though!
I also sometimes get an overpowering urge to throw stuff when I get frustrated, but so far, I've had the foresight to pick something that isn't expensive and breakable and wouldn't damage whatever I throw it at.

 

[Stevey Queen]

What did that wall ever do to you?

 

[pocky]

I'm glad you have a friend like that but that doesn't mean this person is.
They could be 6 years old for all we know and didn't know the value, and they didn't stop to think.
Which would be a GOOD thing to do.
But it seems they did since they said "Too many error messages"
So they threw it on purpose.
Yep.

You're right. OP could be a 6 year old kid that threw a tantrum because s/he was getting too many error messages. S/he could also be a perfectly reasonable teenager/adult that was having a ****ty day and the error messages somehow threw him/her over the edge.

My point is that we don't know anything about OP and that it's unfair to pass judgement on his/her character when we know nothing about him/her.

I'm not like he destroyed any of our 3DS so I don't see why people care so much over his actions or find the need to insult him/her.

 

[Gizmodo]

And this is why you dont throw your 3DS at a wall.. lmfao

 

[Cazqui]

I threw my old DS against the wall because elite 4 in pokemon kept kicking my ass. Didn't end well for the DS.

 

[MadCake]

You're fault. I feel no remorse for you.. Ragequits always end badly.
Even I'm smarter than you.
Sorry if I seem mean, But seriously. I think you shouldn't throw you're 3DS in a blind rage.

 

[Chu]

Oh that really stinks. :c I hope you get a new one soon, and I probably wouldn't throw any more electronics against the wall You can always go back to todays date and time travel forward to catch up, right?

 

[A-kun]

I could never do that to anything I bought. Just wait until you get older and appreciate things when you work hard for them.

 

[jakeypride]

Try the ground next time...

 

[ForgottenT]

that?s your own fault, why even make a thread about it?

I think people are so quick to judge here specifically because this is the internet, and we are able to pass our holier-than-thou judgements on people without anyone being able to see any of our own flaws. It's sad but true, and I'm certainly not innocent here. But I'm willing to admit I have flaws (PM me, I'll list them out for you ). And sure, maybe OP thought he had valid reason to do such a thing to his 3DS, but I don't think that's the issue at all.

People here are judging not so much his character, but a stupid decision; which I think we can all agree that it was a stupid decision. OP doesn't need us to tell him that though, I'm sure he knows that with all of his 3DS-missing heart. So why do we do it? We're self-justified on the internet. We feel like we have safety and power behind these screens. It's an interesting social phenomenon really, but I digress.

If it wasn't for the fact that OP had acted like "oh my 3DS is broken now, and I'm a victim" I wouldn't have posted anything. This is another social phenomenon that I find irritating; everyone's a victim. Sure, maybe OP has anger issues or has bipolar disorder, but that doesn't make stupid decisions any less stupid. I haven't checked recently, but I don't think anger issues OR bipolar disorder alone will ever get you out of the toilet if you happen to be on trial for murder (I know it's not nearly the same but stay with me). And I'd like to see you say "Oh judge, I killed my wife because I was having a bad day." Say hello to 25 to life. That's because despite any kind of emotional distress or instability, you are still a human being with the ability to make choices for yourself. I refuse to believe OP does not have the mental capacity to make these kinds of decisions, and if he doesn't, there are bigger issues here than a broken 3DS.

We as a society, we as a humanity have become this way though. Nothing is ever our fault. It's this disorder or it's this government or it's this environment I'm in. People used to rise above situations and make themselves better, but in this new era, humanity is dragging itself down into self pity and an inability to be self-sufficient, and I find it to be rather ridiculous. Anyway...

[Envy]

Why, just why did you do that?

Some games can bring out my anger... Like Mario Kart. Mario Kart 7 was no exception, but even then I knew to not throw my 3DS. It's too pretty and sparkly... How could I ever hurt something like that? Lol. Okay... seriously... I mean, I was serious there, but ...whatever! I just don't get it. The console costs too much.

Oh, I agree with you completely. Throwing the 3DS against the wall was definitely a bad decision -and having anger issues doesn't excuse it. But just because OP made a stupid decision doesn't mean that s/he is a stupid person. I understand why people are judging his/her actions, we're all human and as humans we tend to judge the people that surround us. In fact, when I read this thread my thought was: "Why would anyone do that?"

What bothered me was that someone called OP an idiot, it just seemed unnecessarily rude. Maybe I'm just a big wuss? But sometimes words can seriously hurt people's feelings ; O ;

 

[Coni]

Man up and assume the consequences of your actions.


Also, this entire thread ... lol'd

I agree with you fully there! That's the other thing about internet forums; we can do and say things to others we wouldn't dare to in real life, and it's sad that people take advantage of that. OP isn't clean of name calling in this thread though, but I think he got defensive. That's alright, but none of the more mean-spirited comments here are justified really and nor are intentionally hurtful or inflamitory comments ever. And I also apologize if anything I've said was construed as offense; it was not intended.

 

[Bubble Pop]

Ooops. I'm so precious with mine I could never do that even if I was mad!

This should probably go in the gamers lounge but whatevs, just sayin'...

 

[chronic]

What a shame, a perfectly good 3DS destroyed just like that. This entire thread is ridiculous, you throw your 3DS against the wall and it broke, are you surprised?

 

[Beanie]

Hey now! We all get angry once in awhile...reminds me of the time when I threw my game boy color against a chair leg because I lost to a pokemon gym leader and the ink splattered all over the screen underneath...death to that game boy.. ._. Instant regret is nothing but regret and already said and done sadly....I think I broke quite a few eletcronics until I grew up and gained control before I want to throw anything now.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I don't really see a point to this thread. You threw your 3Ds at the wall for firewall errors. You could've taken it to a game store and have it fixed. But instead, you broke it.

 

[Mirror]

Oh dear. Maybe take it somewhere and see if it can be fixed? But throwing small electronics against a wall is never a good idea...
