Me too!

Although someone (steam maybe? I don't remember) updated their system and won't take it anymore. So now it's 1930-01-01.

You should try it. It's like I'm 30 years younger!

    Born just in time to not be able to be a nazi!

    Yes, I know the Hitler Youth existed....but I don't hold that against those (at the time) children. They were being conditioned to support a system they didn't understand.

    I figure anyone younger than 20 is too young to be blamed for all that crap. The brain stops developing at age 23. So I don't expect an 8 year old to hold a very good grasp on international politics and wars. Especially in an age where an hour nightly AM radio broadcast, and a daily morning newspaper were your only source for news.
