Past crazes

Erinnert sich noch jemand daran wie es gegen Ende der 90er der größte Zeitvertreib auf dem PC war, Moorhühner zu schießen?

Somebody remembers still how, at the end of the 90s, it was the biggest time killer on the PC to shoot up grouses?

What are grouses? I don't remember that. I remember playing solitaire or something or nothing at all. It is probably men's thing. I just surfed the hell out internet.

At least shooting birds may help develop reaction or something not like some pokemon go. I hope the craze is over. Imagine people in 20 years will be writing something like " I used to play this game to catch pokemons". If we make it that far, of course. And did you hear that god damn awful song some retarded kid made "I play pokemon go" in a very annoying voice? And he has a billion views. So embarrassing.

This sounds Greek to me, honestly. I am just looking from the point of view of a consumer. I think they are a bit degrading for people who play them. And in general everything associated with them seem to be primitive.

I don't know, I honestly don't like devices like i-pad or smartphone. I mean they might be cool with lots of functions but let's say if I want to write an article I wouldn't use one of those, I prefer a good old computer. Both for research and writing. They are only good for some mindless stuff or writing "lol" and "omg".

Happy I am not alone. Seems everyone loves typing their heads off with those, even some complete geezers. But again, it is some mindless stuff. And I hate auto correcting, sometimes it goes out of the way to screw with you.
