Not true as I've often been born on January 1st in the early 1900's.

    I was referring more to the "Years of Service" badge you can find on your Steam profile, whose count begins when your account was created. It shows on the page when you look at the badge itself. Mine shows it was created on August 4, 2006.

    Not many situations where you can use the phrase "I've often been born".

    Glad you noticed that lol, it's really the make or break part of the joke.

    Yeah after writing it I sort of realised I was pointing out the joke, but we're here now.

    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
