    I couldn’t hide it, gaming was a very hard special interest and hyperfixation, I literally grew up in a console gaming golden age too (early-to-mid 90’s kid so 4th and 5th generation consoles, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation, Nintendo 64, arcade transitioning to 3D as a standard, etc.) so there was no escaping it from anyone

    And yes I got made fun of, mostly by classmates but I got some family teasing too

      I had the less popular choices with the Saturn and Dreamcast, which didn’t help.

        They were great though, I owned those two later on and still have a Saturn, some absolute gems for those systems
