Sometimes the little details make me go “holy shit I fucking love piracy”. The still running tradition of installer music is probably the biggest one of those for me. Nothing will ever match that feeling and it came from crime.

    Demoscene, baby. People made things, shared them anonymously, and almost turned their nose at building a reputation or a brand.

    The internet I fell in love with years ago is nothing like the pathetic shadow of it we live with today.

    Macroblank has a fun compilation of remixed demo music, many of the original tracks are mostly known for being used in keygens. It’s called Keygen, obviously.
