Ah, Razor. Sadly it seems that DRM companies like Irdeto, makers of Denuvo, are now simply hiring talented crackers such that there are very few people now able to crack games beyond simple DRM. Empress is the only one remaining.
The only groups are Empress and FitGirl? Sounds very progressive!
Definitely not me but man I remember headbanging to my friends keygen software from Razor1911
I have an mp3 of the patcher/keygen by Digital Insanity for Sony Vegas in my music collection. Such a banger, even after all those years.

Off topic: > Your 30+ year old body Hey, wake up call, not just to parent commenter but anyone. If you feel this way in your 30's chances are good you should probably spend more time focusing on your physical health. Start getting more exercise and working on your diet. You don't need to go crazy, just make small improvements and try to stick with them as much as you can. Start simple: Go for a short walk in the morn…
Depends on the person. I too keep fit. As writing this I'm currently on the subway to go to sword fencing class. I feel the same as OP. If I miss sleep I feel wrecked and I'm 34.
I used to walk down the hallways of my Jr High school thinking how I was so fucking cool and not one single person around me knew it. :)

Is there anything technical in those or is it just games-politics?
I wouldn't say _technical_ but some of the recent ones have Empress and Skidrow feuding and there's some dialog about the peripherals of how the cracks are made (in between the slurs and personal attacks). For example https://i.redd.it/p3s5d14i7hib1.jpg
In 9th grade I was a "VP" of a group called aPC. We were couriers. I used to walk down the hallways of my Jr High school thinking how I was so fucking cool and not one single person around me knew it. :)
This hit hard. I have a smile from ear-to-ear. I can still remember plugging my USB Robotics 14.4k modem in for the first time. We could transfer 1 megabyte in 5 1/2 minutes!! Thanks for the memories. Here's a shout out to all those who read 2600 magazine and tried to hack their local PBXs so that they could call some TDT support board, internationally.
Wow, that brings back memories. Long nights, CRTs, that fresh and health-promoting smell of warm electronics in poorly ventilated spaces, microwaved garbage food, sugary drinks … not sure how my friends and I survived until adulthood.
I need to find a CRT and recreate one of those nights. Always wanted a 17" Viewsonic.

Of course you can slow down the process through living healthier. My point is: when you are young, you don't need to. You can go weeks having little sleep and be fine. You don't need to actively pursue a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid feeling drained. Your body reaches the peak in your 20s. After that it's a progressive decline. In your 30s, no matter what you do, your ability to recover starts to decline and yo…
Citation needed. Plenty of people only reach their physical peak at 35+. It's not too late!
> You have to accept it and move on
No, you don't. You can bounce back, but it requires effort. All I can say is it's better to learn early than when you are 65+ and just had major surgery that you need to bouce back from if you want to keep living a normal life.

Ditto. I lucked into being a courier. We had a second phone line at my house and while we cancelled it, Bell Atlantic left it active for three YEARS, but no active billing attached to it, so I could call anywhere in the world for free. I used Slip.NET for years too, and became a courier between EU and North America, since I had free long distance I could make the long calls to upload/download. To this day I have spok…
