    IMO steam does a reasonable job of age verification - if you’ve registered a credit card, you’re obviously old enough to have one.

          1/1/however far back the wheel scrolls before I click the year.

          And it’s distressingly common for it to under-report my age - stupid march of time.

      I am a baby with an 800 credit score. I undersigned my parents home mortgage so they’d get a good rate. The bank knows I’m a reliable lender.
