Man, I have a few things to say here lol. First of all I hadn't listened to many tracks before they got approved here, but I should have back in the day. What I do remember is checking out the ocremix competitor at the time everyone used to rag on (definitely can't remember the name and pretty sure it has been gone for awhile.) There were definitely some fun remixes on there, but I definitely appreciate OCR standards. Secondly, anyone remember the peoples remix competition? Shoot, or that's what I was going to ask and then I googled it and apparently it's still a thing? Some of those remixes were my favorite songs back in the day. What I would like to know is, where are all the prx remixes below prc 94? Ironically that's where all my favorites were, though fortunately I still have most of them saved. But cmon, there were some absolute gems in there. Like Sir_NutS Rusty Whip (from Castlevania) and General Slicer's 'Not Bomberman' (I can link them if you all want.) Those songs are some of my absolute favorite remixes of all time, I also love working out to them -- that said, how are they not OCremixes? lol (prc link that show it only goes down to prc94 for some reason https://compo.thasauce.net/compos/view/PRC ) Anyhow, lastly, but not leastly, you were talking Terran theme remixes being some of the best possible things to grace the earth. While I can see why the one you posted isn't up to OCR standards even though its alright -- I do agree regarding Terran remixes/covers. I looked far and wide awhile back and there are a couple remixes/covers that blew me out of that water. Hope you guys will be glad to hear them, and maybe someone will be inspired to make a 'true remix' of Terran 2 (or any of them really, but I think we all love Terran 2.) One bonus because this Terran 3 cover is so damn good as well

I could write a book on how legit OCR is, but I'll just say that I can recall countless fond memories and songs that I can't imagine growing up without for the over 20 years since I found this place. That's how you know what DJP built here is so special. Nice to see some other former unmodders here as well, hah. But yeah, definitely always loyal to this place and the legacy it represents. I'm glad it's in the very capable hands of DarkeSword ? But yeah, DJP is the man and crafted this gem since the internet was mostly just a fun a place to hang out, do what you want, and build what felt right in your soul. Much love.

Good to see ya! Personally I think it looks endearing now (I thought it looked super modern back then, especially compared to what came before it lol.) I'd personally delete discord and social media from history and have them look like that to have forums back in style. Or perhaps just to go back in time to when they were. Remember when join date and post count were the ultimate status symbols? lol. That part was a bit silly, but still way better than modern social media.

Lol just found this screenshot I took from the good ol unmod days. Also randomly reminds me that I even began using firefox because of an ocr thread and still do to this day (probably even long before this -- this was early 2007 I think.) I remember back when firefox came out and it was a big deal and tabbed browsing was a huge breakthrough. I always wondered what it was going to be like when us internet generation folks got older -- how could stuff on the internet seem old? We still don't have this though so tech hasn't really progressed much

Hope you're doing well Gario! Also, I hope that this comes out eventually haha -- Lufia 2 had one of the best RPG soundtracks around. I'd love to replay the game eventually too.

Thank god I never played WOW aside from the beta. The Warcraft movie was pretty solid though they could do better. You guys from 2007 would probably appreciate what they made though lul

You'll be glad to know it was from the horde's perspective mostly haha. We gonna get another at some point?

Oh wow, you bumped the right thread a year ago lol. Dragon Force is still one of the greatest games of all time. SSF emulator is still solid -- at least it was a few years ago when I play through Dragon Force again. https://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/saturn/ You can get it here. You may need to torrent or find a bios or something to play iirc. It has been awhile, but it's pretty easy.

This was a beast. Lasted me until like 2018 and still worked fine. Replaced it with its spiritual successor -- the Logitech G502. Highly recommended.

What the hell is buy.com ? xD Seriously that's where I bought this?

Lol, looks like I spoke to soon https://www.dpreview.com/news/6930207183/researchers-develop-5d-optical-data-storage-method-that-can-preserve-up-to-5tb-per-disc

We already got 8k cameras in the hands of consumers though and streaming isn't quite there yet for most people. We're likely gonna want something better. But yeah, we should be using flash storage chips or something for physical game media and stuff it feels like. Of course, I'm old school so I still want games and movies to exist on physical media for as long as possible (even though ironically most of my games and movies aren't on physical media xD) Pretty fun looking back at these format wars though -- I swear nobody even remembers hd-dvds existed anymore.

How have blurays not been superseded yet? Streaming doesn't count btw -- we're talking physical media here. I swear this is basically what we thought was supposed to be next lol https://ideas.fandom.com/wiki/Green-Ray_Disc

This one is special -- I very rarely comment on remixes, but this one takes me to another time -- somewhere in the early 90s perhaps. Beautiful chill jazz -- very classy feel. Especially love the beginning, and even the name fits perfectly. Thank you for this one -- some true talent here.

Lmao, this thread is so ahead of its time xD

Wow, my third remix review post ever as I don't do it often, but this piece is is just wow. It has a timeless sound to it, and it is so warm and quaint. I think you'll go places...

College campuses are great places to be homeless. Do you have a vehicle? Vehicles are also a solid place to live out of.

'Twas cool meeting you OCR peeps. Gario knows his Hold 'em, and Prot can totally play for me next time xD ha ha. Too bad I had so much to do otherwise I would have definitely been down for more. Perhaps another meet-up! Also, I can now match faces to remixes -- I definitely found I had at least one remix saved from everybody I met that I had enjoyed for quite some time -- so keep up your inspiration!

Yeah, it's really hot out here for your average out-of-towner so swimming is fantastic, but anything else outside is probably best done at night. Karaoke is great, dollar blackjack at the Sahara is fun, especially when you're getting free drinks, barbecues might have to planned if you're doing them at a park, and you have to ask them if you plan on bringing alcohol unless you make it obscure I suppose. If we go the park I'd be down to set up some slacklines which are basically like tight ropes but they wobble quite a bit if anyone wants to try that. I mean, the heat isn't so bad if you're dressed light and stick to the shade -- maybe hang at the park, but yeah, it'll probably be too hot for anyone sporting a monitor tan. Also, I can guide a small group of 5-10 around Red Rock at night if anyone were interested in that (it's a sight to see, and definitely an under-looked aspect of Vegas), but unfortunately you aren't allowed to start fires out there to make Smore's or something unless you want to risk getting a hefty fine -- though I have done so before a of couple times.

A. Alien prequel? I'd at least be hopeful. B. Predator could make a come-back provided they have it take place in medieval times, or some early historic era. We all know everyone wants it. B. No Inception 2 please. Or at least, not a continuation... The ending was perfect.

In other news, don't go see Predators. Also, Inception is a beautiful movie -- even haters should have a hard time hating this one.

Oh snap -- I come back to OCR and find you guys are finally having a meet-up where I live. Win sauce. My work schedule is tentative, but I'll definitely be down to hang some of these days. If necessary, I may be able to drive people around a little provided they are cool peeps. So yeah, I am confirmed for Brawl. Edit: If anyone needs to know anything about Vegas let me know -- I've been here far too long, ha ha. FYI $1 Blackjack at the Sarah -- best way not to donate too much money to our city if you know what I'm sayin' If you're looking for good cheap food, Blueberry Hill is the place to go, and they have one near the Flamingo. Also, there is a Asian Karaoke Bar not too far away as well if you guys are down for some drunken karaoke! (You know you want to!)
