At 7 minutes in this mix a song called THE CUBE started playing and I suddenly felt like I was playing DDR. Then I looked up the song and yep, it's one of the songs I played in DDR when I was like 12 years old XD

I keep making attempts to find the "33⅓+8" effect that turned EBM into NewBeat in the late-80s Belgium scene. I know the "33⅓" is to slow it down to 100/135 speed (0.740740...) but I still haven't found what the "+8" means. Gotta be pitchshifting, but what are the units? tones? semitones? some other ratio? (people will hear the original track and ask why it was sped up)

After much experimenting, it's just a flat x0.8 speed no pitchshifting and that does the trick.
I've been listening to Playstation-era D'n'B lately.

2018: it was eventually closed due to bankruptcy
I get mad when I think about it; it's textbook case of vulture capitalism.
The company was bought out by VCs that took out a massive loan just so they could make the purchase, then sold off what they purchased to pay off that loan, mortally wounding the company they acquired... and pay themselves commissions for a job well done, naturally. It was theft with extra steps, and the wreckage was "someone else's problem."

Also, does PC stand for personal computer? I never questioned what PC meant. Huh

"Cyber Space seems more like the twilight zone." Lmfao. 🤣 Wonder what those folks would say now. Lol. (I had to lookup what TF, "The Twilight Zone," was bc I thought this was just a hip word for the time & didn't know the meaning. Anyway... neat show! Lol)

Yes Personal Computer, as in a computer that is owned by an individual at their home. As opposed to a mainframe computer running in a large office building or school. Back in the 60s - 90s most computers that people used were actually just monitors hooked up to a large computer running in the basement (I'm simplifying here, but that's the gist)

Yes, this still happens in many corporate and educational settings. Like when you log into a computer at your school using your student account and you can have the same files / programs on your desktop no matter what computer you log into. Essentially there is a big server running somewhere in the building and you are using your computer to log into your account on the server.

IIRC the Wii came out when I was 13-14, and I definitely remember playing it at my friend's house. OH FUCK THAT MEANS THIS RANDO ON THE INTERNET THINKS I'M OLD
Damn I miss these little magnetic bastards. I had so many of these as a kid and I remember having a hard time finding them in stores. (I didn't know they were recalked) funny enough I got loads of these as a kid bc they were in thriftstores constantly between 2007-2011.
