So I have 100' of some T-Max 100 that expired in 1994 and I will probably be using that for a while. I also pushed it to 400 for more crunch.

If you're going to own a telephoto for a 35mm it's that. It's smaller and better than pretty much every alternative.

I got my hands on a bunch of weird expired film today

2x AGFAcolor XRS 1000 120 - expired 1990
1x AGFAcolor XRS 400 120 - expired 1990
1x AGFAPAN VARIO-XL ASA 125-1600 120 - expired 1984
1x AGFAORTHO 25 135 - expired 2000
4x Rollei IR 400 120 - expired 2011

Do I need to do anything special to shoot the IR film? How do I meter for it and does the IR focus ring dot really make a difference if I am shooting stopped down landscapes?

Two new things for me yesterday: ran a roll of Ultrafine Extreme 400 through a new to me Koni-Omega Rapid.
The Koni is a beastly 6x7 wedding camera and when I went back through the medium/large format thread a few weeks ago, it stuck out as a cheap way to shoot some 6x7 (and build muscle mass).
Shot the UF400 at box speed and developed in Rodinol per guide for HP5 - has anyone else tried this stuff?
Excuse the hasty scans, wanted to get these done as ASAP to function check the camera....there are fingerprints:negative:

So I have three rolls of film slide from a family trip in the 1980s that I was asked to get developed, how feasible is it to get semi usable images off of this assuming the film it's self hasn't turned to dust?

I also have one roll of panatomic-x film from the same vintage I want to develop as well, anything in particular I should be aware of developing film older than I am?

Weird, didn't think I flipped the better scanning holder glass but I'll look later. The negs were still kinda curled, but not the worst I've scanned. Any other culprits?

What slide film is it? If it's an E6 film you should be fine - if it's an E4 or Kodachrome you may be out of luck. I've had Kodacolor-X (1963-1974) film developed with vaguely usable results Similarly, I've developed 1960s-vintage Verichrome Pan, and shot Panatomic-X that expired in the Eisenhower administration, both without much issue. If I remember correctly, Panatomic-X has pretty good latent image properties, so you should be able to get decent results developing it as normal, or maybe adding 10%.

Film touching glass is how you get newton rings. Flip your film so the curl goes into the betterscanning glass and gets held flat.

It's all e6 aside from one roll of black and white, it's already been exposed 35 years ago so would I push it three stops and pray?

I wouldn't push at all, personally. The one-stop-per-decade rule is for expired film that you're shooting now, not for developing latent images that are already there. Like I said, I've developed 50-year-old film at box speed and come out fine (less emulsion cracking from bad storage and stuff, or really poor blue layer properties in C22). Maybe add one stop for the Ektachrome if it's been stored poorly.

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
Develop one roll at box speed, see how it is before proceeding with the other two.

It's been in a closet in a bedroom the entire time so would that count as decent storage conditions?

I got a (c-41) roll processed that had been sitting for 35+ years after exposure and didn't have anything special done with it. Came out fine, considering.

Checking your location, it's probably not that bad even then. I checked some weather history and summers just don't get that hot where you are.
I would develop it without any particular special instructions, but the best advice is still probably this:
