Tfw Steam OS Is kill
Damn, I guess parents have to pay attention to their kids now. This whole thing reminds me of those signs parents put IN the streets that say “Kids at play”. Oh, I’m sorry, is this a playground? I thought this was a street for driving giant metal carriages. When I was a kid, we were taught to stay out of the street and look both ways before crossing.
I agreed with your first sentence, then you went off the rails. I don’t know how a watch out for kids sign is the same as enforcing age verification bullshit going on. I think the better analogy was watch out for kids sign at the street is the same as “hey adult content on this site”. If you want to run over kids on this street, carry on… Or if you want to get to the adult content, please proceed.
