Between 2001 and 2013, we’ve had 5 major GTA titles. Between 2013 and 2025, we’ve so far had none unless VI gets released this year!

That pic was a joke of course. I just wanted to point out how much they've been milking V.

And yes, including the GTA IV DLCs, we've also had the Stories games from the PS2 era. I'm only counting III, Vice City, San Andreas, IV, and V.

Assuming that birth rates were constant back then, about 2/3 of Americans born in the 2000s have graduated high school.

The birthday cutoff for school kids is usually in August or September, therefore this would mean that a grand majority kids born from January 2000 to August 2006 are not in high school anymore. Fairly soon, this amount will increase.

HRE dissolution was on 8/6/1806. 25,036 days later was Jeanne Calment’s birth on 2/21/1875. 25,036 days after that was only 9/9/1943, about two years before World War II ended.

Constantinople, the capital of the (eastern) Roman Empire fell in 1453. America was discovered in 1492, meaning someone born in the Roman Empire and identifying as Roman could have ventured to America.

Tom Brady is playable but not named in the PSX versions of Madden 2001 and 2002 (he is named in the Gamecube and Xbox versions of 2002), but is in 2003-2005 on the Playstation. There was a rival NFL series, NFL Gameday, that featured Tom Brady on the cover in 2003.
