    Naw I didn’t mean that, but hell yeah let’s be here anyway. To me, technically the joke is that none of us probably bother to put in our real birth month and date when Steam asks us to verify our age before viewing the next game suggestion in our discovery queue or wherever; just spin that wheel for the year lol. But the wording you pointed out is the only tipoff that it’s what I’m talking about, over-explaining would have made it boring, and if I go too subtle, then nobody gets it. I was genuinely thanking ye for the noticing the deliberate wording and I hope you got a chuckle :D






  • Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I’ve used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It’s always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons…which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.
