Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”

Me: “My account is 23 years old”

Valve: “That just proves your account is old”

Me: “A credit card just proves you know someone with a credit card”

@SecurityWriter You can't say meaningful things to bureacracy, even worse to bureacracy created for people control.
BTW even my Steam account dates back to portal creation, λ2
@luc0x61 @SecurityWriter mine goes back to when steam was a replacement for O.G. HL's multiplayer service, WoN. My account name is an email address itself 😅
@draeath @SecurityWriter HL1 was already a game changer for me. I started playing FPS when Doom was on a set of 1.44M floppy disks, and its pseudo-3D gameplay was real magic, running on an i286 below 20MHz clock.
HL brought a real, movie like, story, in 3D gaming. That was amazing, and it still is, if you look beyond the now pixelated screens.
The only other game that brought me adrenaline, even when standing still, is HL:Alyx, played in VR. That leaves speechless.
@luc0x61 @draeath @SecurityWriter See, now we know you're making this up, because DOOM required an i386 or better …
@farbenstau @luc0x61 @draeath @SecurityWriter Wolfenstein 3D did run on a 286.
@RandamuMaki @luc0x61 @draeath @SecurityWriter Heh. Actually never tried that back in the days, because possession of that game was illegal in my country back then.
