Is a list, mostly italo-disco from 82-86 that I consider to stand out as a dance music fan perspective. I'll maybe do some more lists of genres i'm familar with, because it's a lot of work to listen to masses of music that you might not like

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

Sylve - I've Only Got You To Blame (1988)

The best parts of italo-disco, great melody, good synths and great vocals. Catches the italo 'melancholy' perfectly

@sshpie @encrypted_past What's the closest clean WinXP type project that exists at the moment? If you know of a good one

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@JeremKOYTB God i hate firmware update culture. Ever since 3DS i've stopped following all of this completely (what a deliberate mess of a firmware; the system functions and tags and the way Nintendo structures everything) Switch up to v23, i wonder how it compares to Sony's major PS4/PS5 fws

@fujidig_game Savegame exploit, is that for DSi or just for DS?

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@MisakiP_ @TeamTwiizers Is there some info on what is protected and being made to not work? I'd have to have a look at it (been so long since i looked at anything on Wii!)

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@f4micom Ah Gunman Chronicles... SiN was quite fondly remembered by myself too, another 98 title

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@TeamTwiizers Anyone got a list of mods with protection on? Interested in this. Something for some old has-been sceners to do :p

@abluecrab @RealSinchanDon Indeed, its sad because just from the VI footage you can predict the gameplay pattern - driving from task to task, middling/average shooting, exactly the same shit as GTAV. I'm sure it will be polished and have a lot of fluff but feels like thats way too little for 15 years

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@debXxN5Tm1ffvvq love the boxart for 98, so classy and 90s!

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@abluecrab @RealSinchanDon I remember VC having great atmosphere, especially at night, and when raining.. the picture doesn't do it justice. I'm not a big fan of the GTA VI hyperrealism - feels like its out of date already to be honest

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@bufuakgames The depth of the historical setting really makes these types of games interesting, i hope you can include as much as possible to make it 'feel' like the 1970s. Is it possible prehaps to use filters/make the weather look more like a 70s film to get away from the GTA3 modern look

@HolyGasGod Shame you didn't find out about modding xbox at that age.. i modded mine for free (hotswap hdd method) - 2004/2005 was an awesome period, played every new title on release date

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@Cstuff_Art I leaked the vids of Episode 1 before it was released.. people couldn't believe how bad it was (particularly the mine cart of doom)

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@ragnar_von @ShirePropaganda Yeah it was difficult. Battlefront 2 was so fun on release. The xbox1 and late ps2 generation is still the gold standard of fun in games and the modern 3rd person/1st person style of games, its embarrassing things havent progressed in 20 years in gameplay!!

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@DreamigeraJ Isn't it sad in terms of complexity games have not progressed past the ps2/xbox era.. aside from network play they are almost identical. I look at something like say, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and the engine and gameplay is as good as today

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@Linahuaa I think the realistic style takes away from the more wacky fun of GTA:SA.. that was the peak of gameplay and style imo (the nostalgia and time period helped a lot). Like you said this is basically high res GTA:V. Like a expansion pack story. Looks very polished though

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@oldyzach I was thinking, they should make a HoMM3 type game with the Warhammer 40k license.. isn't the battle system and game type perfect for the multiple races/battle systems? I think it would be awesome

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@MisterCommodity Are you misinformed on how football money works? The players play for their countries by choice. The payments for competing are very small.

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@I__naenae The ftp archives behind the scenes are way beyond anything that is public, but thats kind of a side bonus. A lot of reversing/cracking projects/material are private entirely, theres a lot of things shared just between sceners (especially since protections are network based now)

[Marc Robert Fairman @mrcfrmn]

@aisarcore Be interesting to hear how that can actually happen... sounds like an insider cyberattack, co-ordinated
