People either have forgotten or didn't live in the time before smart phones, but the world was fucking boring as, you HAD to talk to someone because you were so fucking bored, that's why we discovered shit, we were bored and had to do something, then turtle neck man gave us smartphones.

I just played a game on my pc.
What game?
Not OP. I remember when I was little, playing computer games that were completely on the keyboard (we didn't even have a mouse.) They were stored on floppy disks and would start up by just inserting them into the computer. I'm not sure if you're asking as a fellow old-school gamer seeking nostalgic connections, or as someone who's never played old games and is simply curious, but I did find this list of early games pretty interesting.
There are a number of adaptations of classic arcade games, pop culture tie-ins, and even flight simulators. It amazes me how much floppy disks used to be able to accomplish.
Yeah, nah, I just read one or two novels each day.
While music was playing on the stereo.. flipped the cassette every half hour..
It's really sad to me that people think that smartphones are the source of all entertainment now. Even today I use my phone very little on a daily basis. You're limiting your perspective to that little screen in your hand instead of exploring the real world.
Smartphones are what is fucking boring to me. I don't want to sit around and look at that shit.
They're good for those of us with physical disabilities or certain mental issues. I'm mostly off today. I wish I could just go downtown and have fun or go get some groceries but my brain is not letting me.
what? thats how i feel when i use my smartphone
