Pokemon GO AND FIND A BLOODY HOBBY AND STOP PLAYING A MEANINGLESS GAME.

I fail to see the fascination with this game.

But I'll end up playing meaningless games anyway but with a vitamin D deficiency to boot.

Haha! Your comment made me laugh :biggrin:.
I don't play the game but I believe the point is that it's pointless.

Let's focus on the positives, it's pushing augmented reality.

I'm sorry. This is too deep for this thread. Please relocate.
In the same way everything is meaningful.

So what if it's pointless?
People are going out more, people are meeting others and socialising and quite frankly, I can't see how that could be a bad thing?

If it gets people off their arses rather than sitting at their screens all day, what's the problem? Not that I have any interest in it personally, but I see more good than harm in it.
I do find it saddening that it took a ****ing game to get people outside and socialising, but hey it's their choice.

Society is really in a sad state.

Yup! I've walked over 13 km in the last two days because of it, that's like more than I do in a month lol.

People socialised inside and people were anti-social outside. I think people who say what you just said are the type you find commenting frequently on Daily Mail articles. Aka the type of person nobody want to be around whether inside, outside, online or in the real world.

Lmao someone's made a massive generalisation from 2 lines of text, you needa calm your knickers sweetie.

I don't read the daily mail and you have not even remotely challenged my comment. There have been so many people saying "omg thx to pokemon go i can now go out of the house and enjoy things xDD!" as if it was somehow impossible beforehand to do that. Requirng a game to get you outside the house is a ****ing disgrace on your lifestyle.
but its my meaningless game hobby?

Like I said, better to stare at a screen while being active than do it from their desk, sofa or bed like they'd be doing otherwise.
