What did teenagers do before online gaming was invented ?

They went outside, and got fresh air, sun, and exercise. They played with other kids, and learned how to socialize like normal human beings.

@Nimbus Well, now they have neither. They sit like zombies, staring at a screen.

@AbbeyRhode It's sad, innit?

AbbeyRhode · F

@Nimbus It is. It used to be, if the kids weren't in school, they were playing outside. Now, you never see or hear kids.

I guess play outside. I used to do that a lot as a kid bc I never had a phone etc back then but playing outside with stupid shit like sticks and bugs or just hanging out with friends gets old quick

@deadgerbil Fresh air is good :)

They were never home. Hung out at each other's houses, or arcades or the local pizza joint, etc.

Nimbus · M

@DearAmbellina2113 Exactly.

I didn't have any online games or anything till high school. Before that all I did was run around the neighborhood with my friends on bikes, skateboards, playing football, vandalizing stuff for no reason, trying new drugs, basically just doing whatever 🤷

Nimbus · M

@ChiefWalksWith40oz Yea, all normal stuff :)

As a teen, if I wasn't at school or athletics practice, I was either kicking a football with my buddy, fishing, hunting, or working during the day. At night, we hung out and met our girlfriends at the city Youth Center.

They used to sneak around, smoking cigarettes or pot and drinking beer and making out with their boyfriends and girlfriends. 😁 That was why so many girls got pregnant in high school...🤣🤣🤣

AND they played baseball and football and tennis and badminton, and other sports if they could get a team together.

Nimbus · M

@4meAndyou Sounds like my life story ;)

MasterLee · 56-60, M

Idk, we had online gaming when I was a teenager. But we also had block parties where kids would connect a bunch of tvs together and we'd game that way.
