I'm still pissed off that PornHub is no longer available in Texas.

It's also too bad that VPNs don't work in Texas ... Wink wink nudge nudge.
Brave has a Tor browser, but I cannot get any extensions to work for downloading videos.
I've never used Tor or Brave, but if you have a URL to a video you like, you should be able to use it to download your preferred video through a command line interface using a VPN.
The alternative is ID verification.
Which some states have been requiring. These states have never heard of VPNs and think that a law will keep porn away fRoM tHe ChiLdReN.

Steam: Are you old enough to view this game? It has graphic content.
Me: Good morrow kind purveyor of magic entertainment-box wonders! I was born in the grand old year of nineteen hundred and eleven!
You made me laugh. Thanks.
Yes I was born 1900-01-01 now let me in Steam.
Did you know that if you're in a room of 50 people, over half of them will share this birthday on steam. Crazy how common it is. Statistics are weird.
Seems legit, you may enter
I miss Leisure Suit Larry's age verification. Didn't work then either but at least you ended up learning some interesting trivia.
Never played it. Can you explain a bit more? You got me curious.
It was an old 'kings quest' style adventure game featuring 'adult' content, though I don't think it was much past PG-13 really. You had to answer a series of trivia questions to play that were supposed to be things only an adult would probably know. I remember some questions like "What is Havarti: Cheese, A Country, Species of Fish".
Lol, top tier security there.
That verification really did put a hurdle in front of kids back in the pre-internet era.
...and adults outside USA who don't know shit about baseball trivia or comedians famous in West Wisconsin City.
Never played it either. Looks like it asked random trivia questions that I guess kids wouldn't know.

Was this actually an age gate, or was it a form of copy protection where the answers are in the printed manual?
"Peter piper picked pickled peppers" seems weird to me as an age verification, but maybe that's because the game is old?
