Do you like big, stylized shotguns? I released an update for my work-in-progress #halflife shotgun yesterday. Now includes lower poly world/player models and a version for Janitorial Escapism with construction worker arms. Get it here: gamebanana.com/wips/101085

We'd like to give a shout out to these Half-Life addons from Gamebanana if you haven't heard of them already! Specially the chargers as 3D models and the upcoming scanner. Some are even available for Black Mesa as Workshop items!

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Haven't found time to do a thread of my trailer work this year yet but getting "Best trailer for least trailer-able game" for the Neurocracy trailer from @derek-lieu.com, among such talented company, is a better endorsement than I could ever give myself 🥹 www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2025/12...

Hey #Drupal community, anyone interested in hiring me? I created this fake wiki using Drupal, doing everything from back-end programming to UX design. Imagine what I can do for your projects. ambientimpact.com/portfolio

I haven't had paid work since my last contract was unexpectedly not renewed this summer, and I was already living paycheck to paycheck then. I'm looking for work, but it's a dumpster fire out there. If you can pitch in, I'd really appreciate it: ko-fi.com/ambientimpact

realistic Star Trek
A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation.
Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL.
Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN!
IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION.
THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF
PREY! 🚀🦅✨
Picard: ARE YOU SURE?
LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN.
Data: ...
Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT!
ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT?
Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration.
Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

The tenth and final episode of Neurocracy has been released! Now the game begins 🌐🔍👀 There is *so much* I want to say about how this season was a culmination of the previous two, which I'll wrestle into a blog post when I can word good again 🫠 For now, just this: thank you all so much ❤️

This SPA sure seems fast. I bet it's some decoupled thing serving JSON to a front-end. Just kidding: this is a 100% server rendered HTML #Drupal site with #js navigation layered on top along with some clever async precaching as you scroll and click around […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

Happy 34th birthday to the Linux kernel! On this day, August 25th, we celebrate 34 years since Linus Torvalds announced his new toy project. What started as a small, personal project has grown into the powerful Linux kernel, the heart of countless devices worldwide.
A screenshot of an email from Linus Torvalds, dated August 25, 1991, with the subject line "What would you like to see most in minix?". The body of the email describes the start of his project, a "free operating system," and asks for feedback. He mentions that the OS will not be "big and professional like gnu" and that it's "just a hobby."

Layering #js navigation onto a public #Drupal site is a neat trick, but what if I told you that this totally works in the admin areas too? Here I am navigating around on the Gin theme, changing site settings and even installing and uninstalling a module. www.drupal.org/project/refr...

This is a 100% server-rendered #Drupal site with all the usual Twig templates, CSS, and JS. Not that out of the ordinary, right? What if I told you there's only one full page load at the start and none thereafter? This is the magic of the RefreshLess module: www.drupal.org/project/refr...
