That's kind of a cliché of getting older though, ya know? The older you get, the faster time passes. When you're growing up and learning new things, every day is more meaningful.
But now we're all old and crotchety. And jaded. And crotchety. So much crotch going on in here.
For real, though: when I think back at the last 14 years of my life, I've done WAY more than before. I think it hit me when I realized I worked in my career longer than I did in retail, my first job. But despite all the things that have happened in my career, and all the countries/states I never stepped foot in that I finally did in the 2010s/2020s, there's something big about having a job through high school and college and university and up until my first career job, never mind all the different stores I worked in during that 9-year time frame. And so those nine years feel so much longer.
Having the same job through different stores from 10th grade through university plus one year seems like forever compared to 9, 10, 11, 12 years as an adult with a career.

Jesus, you realize that means most of us have been in the Bad Cartridge/D1P community for longer than we were at IGN.
Like...a good handful of years longer. :O
Yup, I've brought that up here before, which boggles my mind.
I think the reason it doesn't feel longer, or at least doesn't feel significantly longer, than IGN is just because of how much happened when I was on IGN, personally speaking. I was graduating high school, then going to a local college, then a university, changing majors, all that jazz. Whereas I've been an adult in a career for much of my BC/D1P time.

I don't remember who I first registered on IGN, but I definitely was on the boards when I lived in Maryland and that was 1999-2002ish. I may have been registered before that, I was very into online message boards in the late 90s. I really can't remember.
I definitely remember paying for access later in the life of IGN.
When did this place start up? It was over a decade ago, right?
Late 2010.

Biden to forgive $7.4 billion more in student loan debt for 277,000 borrowers | CNN Politics
WWW.CNN.COM
The Biden administration said Friday that is using existing student loan forgiveness programs to cancel another round of student debt, totaling $7.4 billion for 277,000 borrowers.Quote“Republicans in 18 states want to prevent their own constituents from benefiting from the SAVE plan. They want to end SAVE, make their constituents’ payments go up and keep them under mountains of loan debt with no end in sight,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on a call with reporters Thursday.
QuoteStill, Biden has canceled more student loan debt than under any other president – mostly by using existing programs. His administration has made it easier for certain groups of borrowers – such as public-sector workers, including teachers; disabled borrowers; and people who were defrauded by for-profit colleges – to qualify for student loan debt forgiveness.
The Department of Education is also conducting a recount of past payments to fix administrative errors, bringing some people closer to debt relief.
QuoteUnder President Joe Biden, the Department of Education has made it easier for some specific groups of borrowers, like public sector workers, to qualify for loan forgiveness. It also launched a new repayment plan that creates a shorter pathway to loan forgiveness for many low-income borrowers

I remember a dude who made comics about the Vesti. Like he made this comic where somebody sees a crash and rushes home to post about it on the Vesti, that sort of stuff.
He also made a comic about @Karld316 saying if 50 mods post in his thread, he'd stop posting on the Vesti, and the number 50 mod was some guy saying, "I did mj's mom last night," and mj was one of the mods. He complained that it wasn't fair, that some people were made temp mods to articifically bump up the numbers and people kept it bumped so mods could see, and then one of the mods said to stop complaining and that they were close to making him a mod so he could be the 50th mod to post and get himself banned from the Vesti.
He was banned from the vesti.

You could have an avatar and access certain boards if you paid for an IGN Insider thing, which was $20 for a year. People begged to be "adopted" by an insider, but like... shit, $20 even then for an entire year wasn't that much.
The CEB and DVD General Board were behind the paywall, and I enjoyed those two boards the most, even if the Vesti had some really fun and memorably weird moments.

I haven't actually seen the Barbie movie, but my understanding is that it is basically the Lego Movie, but slathered with over-the-top anti-patriarchy messaging. I'm guessing a monopoly movie will be the same thing, but for capitalism?
Kinda rich coming from Hollywood, one of the most patriarchal and negatively capitalist industries to ever exist...
We've had Clue and Battleship... what's next? Candyland? Risk? Life? Mousetrap? Chutes and Ladders?
If it works, sure. Clue was lovely.

Arizona abortion ruling, which Democrats decry, splits Republicans and abortion opponents - ABC News
ABCNEWS.GO.COM
The Arizona Supreme Court's decision Tuesday to uphold a 160-year old ban has drawn differing reactions from state Republicans as Democrats vow to fight itQuoteRepublican strategist Barrett Marson called the ruling "ground-shifting" for Arizona politics and argued the decision will reverberate through November's elections, even if lawmakers do meet in the meantime for a special session to change the law amid public fallout.
"The Arizona Supreme Court ruling may be a huge victory for the pro-life movement in Arizona, it will be short term. The decision will only bring out more voters in 2024 to approve the abortion initiative and likely vote for Democratic candidates," Marson said in a series of posts on X on Tuesday. "When [Gov. Katie] Hobbs calls a special session to open access to abortion and repeal the 1864 law, Republicans will be in a difficult spot."
QuoteDemocratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, expected to face Lake in the Senate race in the fall, seized on her previously calling the pre-statehood ban a "great law" and sent a fundraising pitch to supporters reminding them that as a senator he would vote to end the filibuster rule as a means to protect abortion access nationwide, unlike Lake.
"This is not what Arizonans want, and women could die because of it," Gallego said in a statement. "Yet again, extremist politicians like Kari Lake are forcing themselves into doctors' offices and ripping away the right for women to make their own healthcare decisions," adding he's "committed to doing whatever it takes to protect abortion rights at the federal level."

I’m going to ask a ridiculously stupid question: there’s no way Trump, if he wins reelection, could come in on day one and say “anyone’s whose loans got canceled under Biden are immediately uncanceled” right?
I don't think there's a way to do that.
But cancelling the program so others don't get help? Definitely.
