So how were people not bored to shit before video james were invented?

Exploring Africa

I prefer board james, but the whole adding the one eyed cunt and mike mcfuckass.

im still bored to shit

cool that your brain has been destroyed and you basically sacrificed your life for tedious and expensive toys

Can't miss what you never experienced. The way I see it, since video games didn't exist. The public couldn't get hooked on them. I'd like to think that principle goes for anything that's addicting. You can't get hooked if you never experience it in the first place.

desu movies > books > video games > music

video games have the most potential but they haven't reached it yet

> Gentlefolks in general have a very awkward rock ahead in life—the rock ahead of their own idleness. Their lives being, for the most part, passed in looking about them for something to do, it is curious to see—especially when their tastes are of what is called the intellectual sort—how often they drift blindfold into some nasty pursuit. Nine times out of ten they take to torturing something, or to spoiling something—and they firmly believe they are improving their minds, when the plain truth is, they are only making a mess in the house. I have seen them (ladies, I am sorry to say, as well as gentlemen) go out, day after day, for example, with empty pill-boxes, and catch newts, and beetles, and spiders, and frogs, and come home and stick pins through the miserable wretches, or cut them up, without a pang of remorse, into little pieces. You see my young master, or my young mistress, poring over one of their spiders’ insides with a magnifying-glass; or you meet one of their frogs walking downstairs without his head—and when you wonder what this cruel nastiness means, you are told that it means a taste in my young master or my young mistress for natural history. Sometimes, again, you see them occupied for hours together in spoiling a pretty flower with pointed instruments, out of a stupid curiosity to know what the flower is made of. Is its colour any prettier, or its scent any sweeter, when you do know? But there! the poor souls must get through the time, you see—they must get through the time.

> You dabbled in nasty mud, and made pies, when you were a child; and you dabble in nasty science, and dissect spiders, and spoil flowers, when you grow up. In the one case and in the other, the secret of it is, that you have got nothing to think of in your poor empty head, and nothing to do with your poor idle hands. And so it ends in your spoiling canvas with paints, and making a smell in the house; or in keeping tadpoles in a glass box full of dirty water, and turning everybody’s stomach in the house; or in chipping off bits of stone here, there, and everywhere, and dropping grit into all the victuals in the house; or in staining your fingers in the pursuit of photography, and doing justice without mercy on everybody’s face in the house. It often falls heavy enough, no doubt, on people who are really obliged to get their living, to be forced to work for the clothes that cover them, the roof that shelters them, and the food that keeps them going. But compare the hardest day’s work you ever did with the idleness that splits flowers and pokes its way into spiders’ stomachs, and thank your stars that your head has got something it must think of, and your hands something that they must do.

Society was less fucked back then so entairtainment didn't need to be so good to make up for it.

that photo is like a village in a modern city

sounds based

>Not being part of shady cabal
Never gonna make it

Rape, all powerful states, forced marriages, diseases, famine and the ocasional war fill most of our history, most people weren't actually worried about getting bored they had to work at a field to survive and provide for their 9 children

I know this will sound hard to believe, but there used to be a time when young white men actually had sex.

People were genuinely fascinated by foreign cultures without being called multicultural race traitors.

Killing eachother mostly

NYC in the early 1900's was actually pretty fucked.
Influenza could easily kill you unless smallpox or polio got to you first.
WW1 was right around the corner.
Lynchings were a popular Sunday afternoon activity.
If you didn't work at least 10 hours a day 7 days a week, you might as well have been sucking dick for nickels to help pay for your apartment you had to share with your parents and inlaws.

They had sex

women who were well off and had nothing to do literally went insane from the boredom. most people were too busy trying to survive to be bored though

NOOOOOOOOO

>Muh reading
>Muh family
>Muh other hobbies
All of this is bunk. 99% of people just spent every free moment getting drunk off of their asses. Even today, there are more people getting intoxicated than people over indulging in video games. Humans hate existence.

james, eh?

jesus do you fucking imbeciles not think before you post stupid shit

Did people really think society wasn't just as fucked? LMAO you white people crack me up.

We all played Red dead redemption right?

The world was corrupt,evil,dirty,etc just like now

In the future when Sword Art Online becomes real and AI androids are a reality, people will wonder what we did for fun.

Books will never be as good as TLOU2.

Literally this. With so much free time life consisted of family, religion and work.

Music

only people who hate books are people with aphantasia or tards with no creativity

Books are linear and nonintereactive, I'll take a good VN, thanks

lovecraft was a famous hermit and he pretty much just read shit and wrote shitpost letters his entire life. so thats probably what it was mostly like.

You do realize video is an adjective in video games right?
Its like asking what did people do before car races, well there was chariot races and horse races duh.

What did people do before video games?
Games you double nigger.

I guess life was just more busy back then because you had to get occupied with a profession of sorts or a job otherwise you wouldnt be able to even eat so i dont think boredom was such an issue except for those with enough wealth to not work.

Zig Forums cannot refute this

Do all these pictures come from the same black user?

This
Games were accessible to people long before books and literacy was common.
Prior to books people just told stories

>it's another shitty off-topic traduck thread

Dude, literally no one reads books anymore. It's an outdated medium. Why would someone read a book when games and movies exist?

Wait for some war/uprising and fight, in the meantime write books,poems and autobiography

Ever heard of tabletop games?

To act pretentious

>not a single shitskin in sight
>fast forward to nyc now
lmao at amerimutts

>tedious

>shitposter hating on people with actual hobbies
Sounds like Zig Forums.

>the medium dead-last in popular appeal and marketshare is overrated
