    I’m waiting for “20” to register the equivalent of “year” and all anyone hears is the second number: 2072 = 72.

    And in this world, “19” throws people for a loop. Like “Shit. You’re THAT old”

    I legitimately feel like my mind stopped updating time when I graduated high school. The PS3 and Xbox 360 will always feel fairly recent to me, lol.

        The PS2 was my newest console until I got a Switch this year. If I could experience Fallout 3 on a PS3 like I did one time in college, I’d probably still be blown away.

        My dad said to me when I was a kid that when I was ten a year was a whole tenth of my life, and when I’m 50 it will only be one 50th of my life. So every year feels shorter. Not sure how much sense that makes, but it’s always stuck in my head.

    Nah, “10 years ago” makes me think fondly of the relative stability of the Obama administration. The difference from pre- to post-2016 seems far bigger than any shift in the two decades before that.
