Really? I appreciate it when people post concert recordings since I can refresh my memory. Though in fairness I'm tall enough to not really be bothered by cameras being held up. I generally will hold mine at neck level if I'm taking pictures since it's still high enough to see the stage without blocking the view of people behind me.

people don't even go back and look at their videos you think this guy is gonna boot up the DS again ? it's simply performative to say look at me i'm different !!

u/loosie-loo 7h ago
I actually think the person going to the trouble to do something this weird has an intention or reason behind it, and Iām not so up myself that I presume anything I donāt fully understand is inherently āperformativeā because I acknowledge other humans lead their own full, rich lives and may well have knowledge and experiences I do not.
I also donāt really give a shit.

Your being downvoted but it's 100% attention seeking. I've seen loads of posts from people at concerts that they recorded on their 3DS. I'm convinced they post it, say omg guys look I'm so random!!! Then never look at it again

It's a trend at concerts. It was kind of amusing for a while but it's can be really annoying to have it in the way for the people behind them. It looks like this person was mindful of that though since they brought it down after.

u/loosie-loo 6h ago
I have seen plenty of phones that are basically as big as a DS so itās no more inconsiderate than that, tbh. And yeah, I always appreciate when people take a quick video and put it away rather than blocking parts the whole way through. Thatās the right way to do it, if youāre gonna.

u/Booty_Shakin 4h ago
And then they dont even go back and watch it after they take it, or its just a quick social media post for "look at me and what I did".

u/Atalant 4h ago
It is a niche hobby, they are sharing the videos with likeminded enthuatists over the internet, the point of those are not the quality of sound or video, but the experience. I take those peeps over people recording the whole concert for their personal social media accounts on a phone to show how much they are in the moment. I don't get it personally, but it has been a ting since the introduction of DSI.

u/No_Story9579 1h ago
Seems like something you could already do with basic photo editing software on current video formats. Or does it feel more authentic coming from the 3DS itself? I've also seen the group that can turn the 3DS into a drum machine, which is pretty cool.

u/Double0hobo79 9h ago
Yeah because of the reason you posted it. They dont really want to capture the moment to review it more for the novelty so they can either post it online for attention or to share with their friend "Look! I am unique and recorded this on an outdated inconvenient camera!"
17
u/UnlimitedScarcity 9h ago
You got downvoted but what other reason could there be?
13
u/Double0hobo79 9h ago
I guess because some people view it as cool and 'whimsical' it bothers me none if people want to do it. I truly dont care. But i was simply explaining why they would do it. I cant think of another reason they would.

u/Bright_Tax_6541 9h ago
The 3DS can shoot video in 3D, I donāt think theyāre doing it for attention.

u/Double0hobo79 9h ago
I'm not saying they cant find value in it but the camera on those things are awful compared to anything easier smaller to film on. Even in 3d from that distance i cant imagine it being good to watch lol

u/QuadramaticFormula 8h ago
Some people like the lossy look of toy cameras for aesthetic reasons.

u/Double0hobo79 8h ago
Thats true I like retro tech too but holding a device of any kind in my face capturing a concert that i paid to see and experience just seems weird but thats a me problem i know 90 percent of people record that stuff.
I just assumed it would be easier to record on a simpler device to achieve the same type of video. Seems impractical to bring it around... Unless you're playing fire emblem in line to the concert lol
2
u/ToastedCrumpet 6h ago
Have you seen footage of it actually posted though? Thereās zero merit to it as it looks bloody awful, the sound is horrific too and itās now become a fad where 3DSs show up at all sorts of gigs and live events now.
Iām not sure why people who do things for attention get upset when you point that out

iPhones after the 15 Pro can as well (albeit you need 3rd party software to convert it to standard 3D footage as well as a separate device capable of displaying 3D, e.g. a VR headset)

Well, I don't see any other phone out, could it be that they forbids phones at all or maybe just for the last song? I know some artists do that with a shell that can not be opened during the concert.

u/Overall-Abalone3969 9h ago
People in here are miserable, lol. We all get the general annoyance of somebody not enjoying a concert but think of it like this - they paid the same money, maybe more, to enjoy the same concert you paid for. Let them enjoy it however they want.
Maturity isn't accepting everything. It's accepting that things are, and living with that your own way.

Yeah basically you could watch the whole thing in 3D. It's not great tho. Video quality is ass even or 2011's standards and you can only make like 10 minutes, unless he modded it.

it's funny. I saw it at a gig and it made me laugh. It's like part of the funny weird shit you see at a gig like someone who sneaks in an inflatable banana or something and it gets passed around the crowd and then you see a guy film the show on a Nintendo DS (how does he still have one of those) and then someone passes you a joint in this indoor concert like ok this is something that's happening apparently

Not sure why the negative comments, but why does it matter to yall what others do w/ their time or day? If they wanna record w/ a DS, let em be. This isn't directed at you OP just the other comments that are rude for no reason.
Anyways, I think it's cool using a piece of old technology and finding a use case in the modern world. That recording isn't meant to be on the DS, but it is, and I find that pretty cool.
