What's your preferred VPS (Virtual Private Server) host and why? Going to move my site off the free tier AWS instance before they start charging, so may as well see what people like using these days for their personal hosting.
I'm in the western US, so ideally something where I can get a VPS geographically near me.
@icedquinn @beardalaxy Ocarina of Time used a lot of clips from this CD. This is where the original Fire Temple chant originated from.

@beardalaxy Even if it's a whole pack, each sound in said pack should be under a license that allows commercial use. You use to have entire CDs full of free to use audio clips. You were free to use any of the clips as long as you weren't redistributing the whole thing.
Threat actors on X are exploiting the news around Ross Ulbricht to direct unsuspecting users to a Telegram channel that tricks them into executing PowerShell code that infects them with malware.
There is absolutely ZERO reason to put something as simple as a >5 sec sound sample under the CC-BY-NC or any other non-commercial license. If you really hate the idea of someone profiting off of your precious audio clip, then maybe you shouldn't be releasing them in the first place.
>b-but just ask them they might negotiate a deal where they can get a cut
If they truly want that, then they should say so in the description, and give out contact information, but most of the time, they don't, and it's not worth paying just to be able to use a short audio clip for a commercial project. It took you five seconds to make those samples there wasn't that much effort put into them.
If you want to make money creating stock assets, start a Patreon or something like that. All non-commercial license do is limit potential users of your assets, especially if they are small.

Replaced some of the copyrighted placeholder sound effects for items with stock sound effects. It's really hard to find any good ones, and these are the best I could find. The heart sound is a bubble sound effect because that's the closest thing I could find. The hearts in the Zelda games always made what sounds like bubbles or liquid, so I guess it fits.

@waltercool @coolboymew Not in every state though.

One of the bosses (the one that you are supposed to bomb) now has an original sprite. Previously, it was just a large version of the blue, darknut-like sprite which changed to yellow when bombed. Instead I made it a skeleton with armor and the armor disappears after being bombed, but reappears after being stabbed.
