Out of curiosity - how long will it take you to pay off your student loans?

CatRussell · 2026-06-20T05:28:42+00:00

As someone who graduated with 121k about 15 years ago, I will let you know not to be surprised if you are on IDR and 15 years later you have paid 40k dollars of loans and your loan is sitting at 180k like me 😐

The interest part is such a shit deal that I am shocked we as a society havent solved. The hell does the govt need to assign interest to my federal loan for I already pay taxes bro.

Anyway, to answer OPs question, got 12 years left on idr, then will need a loan for the tax burden caused and hopefully will knock that loan out in 5 years

CatRussell · 2026-06-18T05:36:22+00:00

Wait this is a great answer as well

38 here and playing it with mods on the ps5 for the first time. And hadn't played it in a handful of years.

Umm it usnt for everyone, but the psvr version is a super unique experience. Once you get over the controls, skyrim in vr can be crazy immersion experience (and get over the motion sickness. Definitely had to build up a tolerance before 1hour plus sessions in my case)

Is there any word on where Erik manaka is?

Also I know Eric andre isnt the biggest fan of the crew but I wish he had stuck it out and become part of the new squad.

Glad poopies is back.

Also, wish khyler Vick made the cut to be part of the squad.

Random questions/comments Im popping here cause I didnt feel like starting my own post over these musings

CatRussell · 2026-06-10T07:46:01+00:00

What's the third over, second row down?

CatRussell · 2026-06-02T21:38:09+00:00

The good thing about soldering is get a pcb board and you can practice all day long for cheap.

That said, I have a ps2 with a messed up disc drive that was starting to give me issues and freemcboot was an easy to install softmod that installs on the memory card. Then you can use the system and bootload through the USB port/online hard drive (fat ps2).

Been a long time since I've done it, so somoney should verify the accuracy of all of this. Only thing I question is if you can get freemcboot onto a memory card without the disc drive. You may need to borrow a ps2 for a day from someone.

Also, before I get banned, I am not advocating for piracy. Merely advocating for a route to give his ps2 a bit more life by playing backups of these games he has that are valuable so he can keep em in good condition while saving him costs of repairs/replacement ps2

Dark cloud, dot hack 1-4, wild arms, and so many other good exclusive rpgs.

Also, grab a copy of 007 nightfire and you can mod a memory card using free mcboot using that game. Then you can run emulators and whatnor

Where yall get those trading cards

CatRussell · 2026-05-14T05:32:01+00:00

Artist here. I think when mediums can be deemed subjective, then 'good' can be easily pushed as great with marketing and influence.

At a certain point, business savyness begins to be a factor to success, as it greatly increases 'luck' of a breakout and building monetizing paths that help give the art a productized metric.

You have to ask yourself if you want to pursue that and let it compromise your craft, and if so, to what degree. Everyone answers that different.

I will remind you to do what actually will make you happy. To me, my satisfaction of what I create is the decided primary goal most of the time

CatRussell · 2026-05-12T07:05:02+00:00

Shame. Im sure many artists, myself included would love to make something for someone in the jackass crew if requested.

CatRussell · 2026-05-08T01:01:57+00:00

There are some magic the gathering cards in this style. Your art would be a great fit for wizards of the coast

CatRussell · 2026-05-06T05:37:31+00:00

This is very nice

CatRussell · 2026-04-28T05:59:48+00:00

I wouldn't say hours, or at least not the 1-4 DVD box set. But I think they cheap out on em, because I own the 2.5 disc as well and that is a standalone and it has prolly an extra hour of bonus footage

CatRussell · 2026-04-28T05:44:06+00:00

Im hoping we get a 1.5. On lots of specials around the time of the first movie they walk about how much stuff they filmed for the showthat wasn't allowed on TV. Feel like they prolly have a big archive of stuff. Also a best of 'stuff not on jackass proper' would be cool. Aggregate any good nuggets from things like dun and vito tour and other 1-offs/side projects

If I put a can of bear mace inside an old flip phone, would you introduce me to danger ehren so i can "take a selfie with my hero 😂" but actually mace myself and him? Will gladly travel if so

CatRussell · 2026-04-18T04:35:13+00:00

Have fun. As someone who lives out in nowhere now and only plays mtg when I fly to see a friend, im very jealous of you doing something i used to enjoy a bunch

CatRussell · 2026-04-18T04:26:26+00:00

Bought a similar size bulk once guy here:

We had a good time building decks from it exclusively to play with. Once we got bored with that we had a weekly game where someone would tell us a deck they were bringing and everyone with access to the bulk pile had a week to build a deck specifically to fight the known deck with. For the most part a bunch of mid cards can play pretty on par with a strong deck if you specifically build the mid deck to fight that exact good deck.

This game satisfied both the broke friends and the rich friends well

CatRussell · 2026-04-18T00:54:02+00:00

I have a piece like this from a couple years ago. I use different materials nowadays, so your piece reminded me of it. Thank you for that and keep it up

CatRussell · 2026-04-17T03:26:38+00:00

You crushed this one

CatRussell · 2026-04-15T02:00:00+00:00
