... Was there a point to this thread?

In addition, I remember some terrifying poorly-animated (in 3d) commercials from the late 2000s/early 2010s in the U.S. for some marketing/mortgage or whatever? I can't remember what they were for exactly, but they looked like they were made as low-budget as possible and crammed as much information as they could into them.

all true crappypastas have hyper-realistic blood in them

Dealbreakers -The port in question is closed-source -The port in question has little-to-no ongoing development -The port in question has questionable affiliations -The port in question has no real community or has a very fragmented community (especially applies to multiplayer-compatible ports) -The port in question has a terrible or questionable community (mainly with respect to multiplayer) -No MBF21 support Not Dealbreakers if a port lacks, but things that greatly encourage me to use a port -Demo support -Multiplayer support -OPL2/3 emulation support (with multiple chips emulation support) -DECORATE support -3D-Floor/bridges support

I am an OPL enjoyer. There are a couple of small issues with DSDA's OPL emulation which I haven't seen yet on the other ports I play, however, such as skipping notes in some midis (I'm not entirely sure why it does that while other ports' OPL emulation doesn't). It also seems like only one OPL chip is being emulated (I think?) since sometimes notes get cut off early or don't play at all (same behavior as in vanilla basically). Despite those limitations, I still use it and it would be a shame to see it scrapped. I am also intrigued by and want to try out the DMXOPL that Xaser mentioned now that I know that it exists. Apart from that, the rest of this update looks pretty good and the hard work is appreciated. This makes me want to make some maps in UDMF format at some point.

I feel like in the United States that it will take until the older generations are gone before actually decent policy can be enacted en masse, especially with those who fear socialism like it is some kind of boogeyman. Unfortunately, I think the climate will be absolutely fucked by that time, but no sense in giving up there. It's no secret that the United States has some characteristics of a gerontocracy at the moment, while far-right politicians are working against progress and trying to use fear to convince people to relinquish their own rights and some "moderates" believe that these are 'both sides' issues when they most certainly are not. As for Iowa, it's not that great. All farms and no prairies or sizable forests make for a boring state to explore (don't even ask about the "pigbreeze"). I knew Illinois was terrible with how they destroyed nearly all of the natural prairies early on in its history but holy fuck. I don't plan on staying here after finishing my education. Our governor is a complete joke and our representatives and senators are even worse, but unfortunately a lot of Iowans drank the Kool-Aid on that one. Next year we get to vote on whether the state constitution guarantees NO rights to abortion. So yeah, that's where Iowa is at.

Phew, PhD work can be difficult and take a lot of time, but I've been getting back on the ball with getting this wad closer to completion. Here's some of the latest content being worked on.

As someone studying climate change's effects on tropical cyclones for my PhD, I lose hope when I see things like this happening: And then I also lose hope when I see political leaders trying to maintain the status quo and not following through with emissions goals when it appears as though we are approaching/potentially past a tipping point, given the figures above.

The authors of Dystopia 3 really loved starting the player off in a vehicle. A couple of the maps involve starting off in a spaceship of some kind. Dystopia 3 MAP07 Dystopia 3 MAP03 Also, shameless self-plug of Kuiper (WIP) MAP02
