Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound? (kbin.social)

I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result.

Am I just weird?

It's pretty weird

I got my Deck very specifically so I could sit next to my wife in bed and play games while she watched TV or played on the Switch. I just wear earbuds... or she does, depends.

As for playing with the TV in the background, not really a big TV guy but sometimes I play while distracted. Depending on the game I might not need sound.
