Bill Clinton, 78, takes shot at Donald Trump’s age during DNC speech: ‘I’m still younger’
  • As a Dem, I'm going to say that I don't support what Bill Clinton did given their power level difference. But, I do acknowledge what Trump did was way worse, and I will always compare him negatively to whatever you come up with.

    "What is a woman?"
  • It's a fair criticism to be honest. But, I can't think of a reasonable alternative. When I support trans-individuals, usually I argue from the brain-body mapping perspective as 1) It's not based on feelings as we know that there are people whose brain mapping does not correspond with their body mapping, and 2) There's a lot of evidence to support that perspective.

    A lot of people aren't just going to get "What it feels like to a man/woman.", and personally, while I identify as a man solely for my parts, I just simply lack what it means not because it supposedly matches me, but because I have no feelings associated with gender. And here's the kicker, I wouldn't understand dysphoria when called the wrong gender either. For example, my mother has always addresses me as a male because I was born with a penis and all that jazz, but recently a few months ago, in a endearing way, she told me that I was like a daughter to her, which I take to mean that I give off that energy to her. Didn't really felt off or anything either.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel
  • Yes, I know. In my experience, it is usually assumed that attacks on Israel means the non-government entities are targeted too. I had to explain to them about about separation, and hell, I even separate leadership of IDF from lower ranks.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel
  • I'm an AOC supporter, here's the thing: She demonstrates a separation of Jewish people and Israel government. I support that. In addition, I noticed that Israelis can't seem to tell attacks on Israel from uninvolved people is more directed at government. I always knew attacks on US were directed at government in Bush era.

    Bad news. Looks like the retrieval of lost mods won't happen. Screw YouTube.

    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...

    Really big news! There is a possibility of lost modules for Ultimate Ride games to be retrieved again!

    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.

    Alice’s Horror Theme Module for Ultimate Ride games is now partly found

    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.

    You can find screenshots here - https://parkcrafters.com/topic/194-modstothemax-modules-restoration-project/?do=findComment&comment=3019

    A California House race is AIPAC’s first big target. Nobody is quite sure why.

    A primary whose candidates hold relatively similar views on Israel has become a strange proxy fight.

    A California House race is AIPAC’s first big target. Nobody is quite sure why. | Semafor

    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.

    Should I keep the top 2 environments for MTTM restoration project.

    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.

    Searching for DarkRideEnv.exe. If you have it, let me know.

    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. ```

    Apology, I have fixed link to MTTM Modules. Updated lost mods information.

    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.

    Progress on ModsToTheMax restoration (All of the icons for modules tracks and environments has been modified to fit the original games.). Themes are still underway restoration.

    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.
