I recently lost my 3DS(Which I had for about 5 years) to a snowblower. It was pulverized from existence, taken from me because of a dumb error I made, and I can't get over it. I feel like shit. I'm weak, I can't seem to focus on anything, this is just as bad as when my cats died a few years ago.

I don't think anyone is supposed to feel that bad about losing an electronic device. I can probably manage to buy myself another one in a month or two, but even then, I know it'll never be the same. I feel some sort of emotional connection with my objects. This can't be normal.

If any of you have any idea how to cope with an object's utter destruction (Fucking Snowblowers, man....), please tell me. I think I'm actually going through a depression.

    WTF is a 3DS and how did it get loose? Didn't you have it on a leash or something? Next time you should tie it up better so it won't get loose when you are blowing.

      Ha ha, thanks for making me laugh out loud! I don't know what a 3DS is either but apparently it's something electronic, so hardly appropriate to have such a strong emotional attachment to it

      Now I must confess I'm still a bit upset that the cassette radio stereo out of my previous car doesn't seem to work in the replacement car and I was really missing even the radio on the 10 minute drive home from the home of the mate who'd tried to install it .......... but you can't really compare a cassette player to a 3DS ... or can you?

        No. A 3DS is way more important than a cassette player.

          Not to me bc I don't know what it is, so obviously I don't need it, do I?

            I believe it's a Nintendo portable game console. A.K.A "Snow-Blower Food"
