I make a small effort to hide my VN playing. I find it uncomfortable to read when I'm being watched or glanced it. And I'm wary of surprise sex scenes coming up out of nowhere. I don't play much Touhou but when I did, I saw no reason to hide anything. But I pause my animu when someone comes into the room. This room being the kitchen, not my bedroom.

I, my sister, my step sister, we don't talk to each other much. There is no appreciable reaction.

First time my dad saw Touhou:

Son, you should just go back to playing Space Invaders like we did back in the day.

HOLY FUCK HOW THE FUCK DO YOU AVOID ALL THAT SHIT THAT'S FLYING AROUND?

>> No.2970803

I just leave it at that current scene and see what they want, if they don't want anything I'll just continue playing. just like when I browse /jp/. If it's a vn with a lot of h-scenes I find it rude to continue playing if someone is in the room though, so I just save it and exit then go browse /jp/.

I've even suggested a few vn's to friends if I thought they might like it and they seem like that type of person, 2 of them actually liked it and started playing more.

I don't play touhou because I don't think I can do all that crazy dodging and shit but I'd imagine they would ask how I even play that.

>> No.2970810

If I'm playing a VN, I just make sure not to have it on an H-scene.
When I'm playing Touhou I don't care who's watching, but the constant streams of 'oh fuck that looks impossible' are a little exasperating, even after you've explained to them how it works.

I'm secretly waiting for someone to recognize what I'm doing/call me a faggot upon seeing my screen.

I've been walked in on watching anime three times in my life. The first was back when I watched Inuyasha and my brother thought it'd be funny to sneak in the room I was watching it in, get next to me and ask "Why are you watching that?" and I could only respond with "It's funny". The next was when I was in high school watching Evangelion for the first time and my brother burst into the room I was using the computer on and I got out of it and started watching another streaming video on winamp and asked him if he knew you could watch free tv on the internet. I'm not so sure how well that worked, but it was never mentioned again. The last time was when I was my mother came in the room during an episode of Excel Saga. She said "So you're finally playing a game instead of staring at nothing" (because I usually exit all the windows when someone walks in for obvious reasons, she was just too fast for me this time) I'm still not sure how she mistakes anime for a game.

I guess another stupid thing I did was play Tsukihime on my laptop out in the open in a position I didn't think anyone would be able to see my screen at. It wasn't until much later when I got up to get something to drink that I realized anyone on the other side of the room could see everything I was doing.

...anyway I'm sure my mother thinks I'm watching porn all the time based on her comments on how I always get out of everything I'm doing on the computer when she comes in my room.
