      No games for young people or people of a race that the model was not trained on or anyone with a disfigurement or anyone in a dark room. Ever.

      ESRB be dumb as hell.

      Yeah if I’m gonna get digital-carded to play a video game like I get regular-carded for booze at 34, I will absolutely just start pirating everything.

          I can’t be bothered to even put a meme birthday. I do 1/1 and then flick my scroll wheel down and click wherever it stops.

      That was my first thought; I’m 20 but I look quite a bit younger in real life. I could have some trouble trying to play M rated games legitimately if this is widely implemented. One alternative I can see them using is submitting an ID to bypass, but that’s really invasive just to play a video game.
