Instead it’s just “who’s your favorite starter Pokémon?” Perfect gauge.

Joke because I’m against age verification / identification.

I'm old enough to remember this is basically how Leisure Suit Larry did it. Asking a series of trivia questions that theoretically indicate how far back you remember, and the more you get right, the more explicit the graphics become.

How are we supposed to prove we're old enough..? By pasting in the whole Vaporeon copypasta..?

Answering "what's Pokémon?" could either mean that you're too old or too young

"How do you tame a horse in Minecraft?"

Answer correctly and you can't look at porn.

I bought minecraft when it was in alpha in 2009 or so, played it with friend for few years, forgot about it for over a decade and suddenly everyone started talking about it couple of years ago

I just got into vintage story. It's like Minecraft but more realistic in the progression and farming aspects. To me it almost feels like discovering the Minecraft alpha all those years ago

You teach it how to fish?

Sounds like how Microsoft handles age verification.

I wonder if that's the joke?
