    Until mid 2024, our PS5 was collecting dust while we played the Switch every day, and my mom got it like 3-4 years ago…

    We have like 5 PS5 games, and I’m 90% sure every single one of them got ported to PC or another console at some point. We probs only bought them cause they were on sale or smth since nobody has a PS5. We have been playing more PS4 games on it recently though. Gotta get through that backlog and all. And now our Switch 2 follows in the PS5’s footsteps, collecting dust

    We do have many PC/Steam games, and I like them for being cheaper, but I still just like console more for being easier to deal with. I was eager to jump at the recent FF7 Remake & Rebirth bundle sale on Steam, only to learn that the PC port sucked ass and apparently had jitter issues. My mom and I are not graphics freaks, we just want the game to work out the box, so I’ll just wait for a PS5 sale and get it then. The only game I really care about modding is Minecraft anyway.

    Honestly, I kinda like hearing people’s creativity when it comes to producer tags. But out of the music I listen to, that’s really only common in Vocaloid songs, so I’m not really the crowd people are thinking of 😅

    It’s interesting/cute to hear or try to find it for one’s who are still deciding on a tag.

    Yep, fingerprinting is a bitch. I’ve tried settings on Librewolf and IronFox to reduce it, but obviously it’s impossible to fool the creators of internet stalking.

    Anyway, tried with a brand spanking new profile on Linrewolf, no VPN on, and tried to watch. Wouldn’t work without logging in, and after that it still asked to verify my age.

    Tried in Ungoogled Chromium with VPN set to Canada on guest profile (I’ve never used guest), and same thing. Tried with Japan VPN on a fake profile named “Jimmy”, same thing. Tried my other Google account on another new fake chromium profile and Argentina VPN, but no dice. At this rate Google probs thinks I’m hacked lol.

    I know why YTs have been censoring themselves, and I know that the video having “Fuck” in the title is the reason. But in the past Google would just give a warning, or simply use the age listed on your account (which yes, could be faked as I did in the past). None of that is new to me.

    The issue now, is that they’re actually enforcing age checks, and you can’t get around them without giving up personal info to Google. I am legally an adult, but now I have to show ID or use a credit card to prove it. That’s the gross shit. I guess it’s mostly a vent post, since this is the first time I’ve literally been unable to watch a video.

    Holy shit, that’s crazy. Thankfully I’ve moved most of my stuff from Google to other services (I love mailbox.org ♥️) but I might have a thing or two stuck on there…

    YT Music Sidenote

    Anyone know a good way of downloading your entire liked music playlist on YT music? I was never good about making my own playlists, and I paused and deleted my YT music history like 2 years ago, so the likes is the only thing I have. I’ve recently started using Listenbtainz to track my history.

    Thanks for the heads up, hopefully I can just ride this one out, but it’s ass man…

    I do use Proton often, and it seems it was set to New Jersey this time. I live in the US, and afaik, my state doesn’t have mandatory age checks for all websites.

    Edit: NVM, my state has signed and will soon enforce a social media age check. Guess I’ll VPN to other states and countries 💀

    Even when I disable ProtonVPN, the same things happen. Freetube and Invidious say may be inappropriate, mpv crashes (non age restricted videos play fine), and even YT ReVanced throws a fit on both my accounts. On browser, both Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium get hit with the same “verify age” button. On Fedora Linux.
