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!

It's actually unknown whether they are actually women, lol.

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.

this one? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2nwiff

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.

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.

Use red light glasses after sundown and use f.lux or iris (anti flicker software).

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. :)

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

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 spoken aloud my warez courier handle exactly once, to my wife, and I doubt she remembers it. There's two other people in the world who know (each ran a BBS in the 412 that were my US endpoints), but I doubt they remember today, and I have no plans on becoming culpable what that identity did. :D

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.

I remember spending all the money in the world I had on a USR Courier HST, and that world changing moment the HST connected... ahh, good memories.

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.

I had one of those! It made this amazing clunk-wibble noise when you hit the degauss button, and weighed more than my first car. Memory says £600?

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…

> Your body reaches the peak in your 20s.

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.

The 412? As in the Pittsburgh area?
