    I’m over 40 and slowing down with age, so I do 1.3 for most podcasts. I usually leave video at 1X but I’m generally doing something else at the same time like folding laundry or gaming.

    Honestly, getting old sucks. Like, I used to play Lemmings a lot and hum the theme song to myself constantly. But I hadn’t played the game in 20 years. I heard the song recently, and the tempo sounded twice as fast as I remembered, so much that I fired up emulators and whatnot to confirm… yes, that’s really how fast the song is.

    The song didn’t get faster, I got slower.

      Oh to be 40 again. Time perception does change (scientific fact I believe) but cognition usually doesn’t decline until much older than either of us, unless dementia is a factor.
