RetroGaming@lemmy.world•It's kind of funny how many late 90s games had at least one drum and bass trackEnglish
3·2 months agoJohn Frusciante from RHCP likes making jungle/dnb?
My mind is blown!
I actually checkout his album on Bandcamp, it’s pretty good.

8·2 months agoMovies from that time period also had a lot of drum and bass tracks.
It was a (relatively) new genre in the late 90s and it works well for energetic scenes and gameplay.
GTA2’s Funami FM had some drum and bass influenced tracks. The GTA2 intro movie used drum and bass in a way that’s very reminiscent of the time period:

GTA3’s MSX FM had some top notch drum and bass tracks from the legendary (by electronic music standards) Moving Shadow record label.
Unreal Tournament 99 had drum and bass tracks.
Michiel van den Bos - Forgone Destruction
System Shock 2 also had great drum and bass music.
I wish this trend of using drum and bass tracks would become popular again, it’s a such good fit for intense/energetic scenes and gameplay.
It’s also great for that cold and clinical, yet psychedelic sc-fi ambience (like the Engineering track from SS2).

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•I've played Alien Rampage (1996) and let me tell you...English
6·2 months agoI am surprised I’ve never heard of this.
It very much has that mid 90s attitude and unique to DOS too. From what I remember, consoles didn’t really have these sort of games.
The artwork is top notch and stands the test of time.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•This brilliant Skies of Arcadia is 25, so here's the story of why a screeching noise and a sense of terror is the main thing I remember about itEnglish
4·3 months agoI am not into JRPGs (or console games), but this does sound interesting. I have always liked “flying ships” settings.
I wonder if we’ll ever see a proper pc port/remaster.

Agreed, Voyager is an excellent app!

3·5 months agoMight have to explore the PWA route. I don’t mind trying new apps, but I feel Piefed/Lemmy support are conceptually close enough to be serviced by one app.

1·6 months agoI get a login notice when I click that URL.
I don’t have an account on fedia.io.
Underground 2 was the best.

I’ve lived in 5 countries across 3 continents, so I do have some perspective on this.
The first point is finding out local immigration laws, even if you don’t need a tourist visa, you will need legal authorization to stay in a country on a more permanent basis.
Which brings me to my second point, you need local employment to get authorization for permanent stay (or proof of above average independent income).
Another option is to go study in a country. This is expensive and you will need to win scholarships if you don’t have a lot of money. Countries always try to make money on foreign students.
Another option is to teach English, but this is likely harder than it used to be (15 years ago or so). Although it is worth exploring this opportunity, unlikely to work for EU though.
Do you have any relatives in other countries? Close friends?
I will speculate it’s going to be difficult to move to Netherlands if you don’t have family or a skillset that is in high demand.
I would explore developing countries where you can likely get a good job (by local standards, so $1,000 to $2,500) if you have a degree and some solid work experience.
