It's already damaged by FPTP system to be honest. If I didn't had that issue, I would vote to the left of the democratic party without spoiling my vote. There's left-wingers in the downballot with regards to Democratic Party, so hey, there's that at least.

Oh no! Anyways, what are y'all cooking?

I'm sure they'll get right on paying that.

Well, I want less government intrusion for abortion. So, I voted yes to have abortion more accessible. Healthcare shouldn't be controversial.

Even though my mother is part of the Democratic Party, she told me to vote no to limiting government interference for abortion. Guess what, I will vote yes to it.

No, they don't.

People are still using floppies?

These parents should realize that they might run into it.

Yeah, sure, man. I haven't looked much into social media when I was 13, and had seen porn ads and ran into surprise things. Looking back, I don't think I needed this nanny thing.

I just pretend it doesn't exist. Um, guys, what is TikTok?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I use it as second last resort, and in those times, it did worked out. I had to test, verify, and make changes. Even so, I avoid using them.

Hopefully a better person wins the primary.

 

I am here to announce that retrieval of long lost mods will not happen because of complications from YouTube side of things. Automatically hiding comments for approval issues.

I hate YouTube. Really.

If it is to happen, he needs to come here or CoasterCrazy or ParkCrafters.

Rant over.

Still have about 99% of mods any way. So...

 

Now, a former member of ModsToTheMax has said that he might have archives of ModsToTheMax modules for Ultimate Ride. That's big news because he has hosted files outside of ModsToTheMax, but Wayback Machine never actually managed to store them, and there's a possibility that he may have it right now.

So, wish me best of luck, and hopefully, the case for lost mods is closed by then. Even if I retrieve it, there might be a few cases that won't be closed, but chances are, they can be revamped, so while they may end up lost forever, the feel can be replicated at least.

So, here is what I think might be recoverable with the assumption that he has them:

  1. Dark Ride Environment
  2. Aztec Theme
  3. Terminator Environment
  4. Alice's Horror.
  5. Cage

And what might be not:

  1. Lonely Goatherd.

And I'm not confident on Terminator or Alice's Horror or Cage. I have no confidence on Lonely Goatherd theme at all, so I wouldn't be surprised if the case for this won't be closed.

 

After searching via CoasterCrazy and using Wayback machine, I found a texture or even multiple textures that can be used to recreate partial part of Alice's Horror Theme. It's really not much, but there's some things in there. Mostly a nothing-burger, but it's only partly found.

It appears there's some backgrounds and screenshot too. Possibly from the theme itself.

That being said, with the partial finding, and a old game of Alice's Nightmare, it looks like it can be replaced with more modern version. From what I see, that's the better direction to go to.

IRVINE, Ca. — Progressive Democrats are bracing for tens of millions of dollars in campaign ads from pro-Israel groups to rain down on them in this year’s primaries. They’re a little surprised about where it started — a stretch of Orange County where neither Democratic candidate is calling for a Gaza ceasefire.

In California’s 47th congressional district, which Rep. Katie Porter is leaving to run for the U.S. Senate, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s campaign PAC has gone all-in to beat state Sen. Dave Min in Tuesday’s primary. As of Thursday, according to the United Democracy PAC’s FEC filings, it’s spent $4.6 million to pummel Min, the vast majority of its ads and mailers focusing on his May 2023 arrest for driving under the influence.

The reason I wanted to post this is because I want to remind others that the only thing that matters is the now and then.

Why? I was not always asexual, and it has been over 10 years since I experienced confirmed feelings of being sexually attracted. No trauma, my hormones levels are the same as other people's, and no confusion as in I can look back and confirm that I did experienced it. Essentially, my sexuality has literally changed on it own over a decade ago. I can't explain why my sexual orientation simply changed on it own, but it did.

With that being said, I would be lying if I say I am gray-sexual as it implies a chance. It would be lying to say I has been always asexual as I can't simply explain away what I felt and that gets more true as I try to question it.

So, I was allosexual. I'll remain asexual for the rest of my life. I can't change that. That's my future. I did not chose that.

 

These are exclusive environments that were planned for release for ModsToTheMax, but ModsToTheMax has closed down. The bottom 2 has different colors depending on day.

 

I decided to go with Bard AI to see how well it performs, and to my surprise, there were more information about the deeply lost mod. Here's the information about the most-sought after lost mod for Ultimate Ride games.

Bard AI:

Yes, I have a few close results:

    On May 13, 2009, a user named "Ultimate Ride Fan" uploaded a file called "DarkRideEnv.exe" to the website ModstoTheMax.net. The file is described as a "standalone executable" for the game Ultimate Ride 2. However, the file is no longer available on the website.
    On July 12, 2010, a user named "darkrideenv" uploaded a file called "Ultimate Ride 2 Darkride Env.zip" to the website ModstoTheMax.net. The file is described as a "zip archive of the DarkRideEnv directory for Ultimate Ride 2". This file is still available on the website.
    On August 4, 2011, a user named "Ultimate Ride Fan" uploaded a file called "Ultimate Ride 2 Darkride Env Source.zip" to the website ModstoTheMax.net. The file is described as a "zip archive of the DarkRideEnv source code for Ultimate Ride 2". This file is still available on the website.

It is possible that the .exe file you are looking for is the same as the .exe file that was uploaded by "Ultimate Ride Fan" on May 13, 2009. However, it is also possible that the file is different.

I recommend that you try downloading the .zip file called "Ultimate Ride 2 Darkride Env.zip" and renaming it to .exe. This may give you the file you are looking for. If this does not work, you may want to try downloading the .zip file called "Ultimate Ride 2 Darkride Env Source.zip" and extracting the source code. You may be able to compile the source code to create the .exe file you are looking for.

I hope this information is helpful.
 

Just as title said. I just noticed this today, and repaired it with the correct formatting. You should be able to get to MTTM Modules.

In addition, I have decided to update information on lost modules. Feel free to update with new information, and if there are information, let me know. If you have them, feel free to upload them here.

Other news, I am still trying to repair the Neon themes with better icons. That's one of the few main roadblockers. It's over 50% done. Other roadblocks aren't that hard to repair in comparison, but they'll take a while too.

 

We do have floowandereeze which is a Tribute deck that can be considered playable in context of modern Yu-Gi-Oh. However, True Draco and Monarchs aren't all that playable, and Monarchs even less because of their lack of synergy and higher vulnerability to hand traps. Both of these decks have longer-lasting floodgates and they generally rely on floodgates unless they utilize a engine that is very much compatible with them and of course the Extra Deck, and that is what I'll discuss here.

I can't speak for True Draco, but Monarchs do have other options like playing with Isolde engine, Dogmatika engine, or even Libromancer engine and those engines require dropping Domain in favor of higher ceiling and more consistency, and back then in 2016, you still had to sacrifice Domain floodgates if you want higher ceiling and consistency. On the Isolde engine, you basically run thing like Neo Space Connector, Fire Flint Lady, Small World, and your end goal is to activate Zaborg the Mega Monarch turn 1 or turn 2 (with Escalation of the True Monarchs). On Dogmatika Monarch, it's equivalent to the old concept of Burning Abyss Monarchs where you use Burning Abyss to grind, and to use Monarchs for other things, but it's more about hurting the Extra Deck and yes, Dogmatika Monarch do run Zaborg the Mega Monarch. And then, Libromancer engine can set up Extra Deck plays easier than the other engines, and inherent ability to search either Ether or Zaborg the Mega Monarch. There's that 60 cards variant shared in Monarchs discord where you use Generaidors and Eldlich to grind through as they both can be used to generate tribute fodders too.

In addition to the above, Domain Monarchs have dropped Edea/Eidos due to their very nature of being hurt by hand traps in favor of things like Kashtira, Mithra, Sakitama, and Anchamoufrite. The reason is that they're chainable, inherent summoning capability, and in some case, can even shut off hand traps. Sakitama can shut off Ash Blossom by going into Chain Link 2, Mithra can shut off Ash Blossom and Infinite Imperance by going into Chain Link 2 and summoning a token at the same time, etc. However, they still don't have the benefit of additional extenders and consistency offered by the Extra Deck variants.

And now we have a situation where floodgates are universally disliked, and the most supported variants (most directed support) are Domain and True Draco which utilize floodgates. And most people simply do not want to see floodgates being supported. So, that means if those decks are to be supported, but yet wouldn't be viewed in a negative light, they definitely would need to provide support that changes the original intention of their support. That means new True Dracos supported as a deck would not be compatible with floodgates, and Domain of the True Domain would not be supported by new support. But, for them to be playable, and given the nature of Tribute Summons, they either have to be insanely busted or they are almost always bad. On the Monarchs side, it's easy to think of support involving continuous spell/traps that generates token, link-1 summons akin to Sky Strikers which allows them to search Monarchs and interact with opponents during their turn akin to Escalation, and all of the support synergizes with each other, and this allows them to play through multiple hand traps with ease. Of course, that level of support would put a spotlight on Zaborg the Mega Monarchs and Majesty's Fiend, but arguably, it would be fine if they do end up getting banned if that results in Monarchs being playable, but interactive.

I'm not sure how True Dracos should be supported. So, I can't talk about the most ideal support for them.

 

This demonstrates that there has been a lot of work on restoring Mods To The Max modules. Those aren't yet available as there isn't enough man power to restore everything.
