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

In-game screenshot of the first person view holding the shotgun in an idle pose.

Hey #halflife nerds (Half-nerds? Herds? I'll work on that one), do you like crowbars, ammo models, and other odds and ends? Of course you do. Enjoy: gamebanana.com/mods/673639 gamebanana.com/mods/673651 More info: ambientimpact.com/unforeseen

If all you do in your tech career is: 1. When something is slow, you look carefully at the output of a profiler or a query plan & make measured suggestions about what to improve; 2. When something breaks badly, you gently but insistently ask what & why until you truly know, then the next time […]

Hey #comics and #graphicnovels nerds, are you looking for Christmas gifts? A friend is selling a bunch of stuff on eBay: www.ebay.com/usr/lareinamab #comic #buffythevampireslayer

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

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]

Progressively enhancing #js navigation onto the public part of a #serverrendered #Drupal site is a neat trick, but what if I told you that the RefreshLess module totally works in the admin areas too? Here I am navigating around on the Gin theme, changing site […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

RefreshLess was chosen as the #Drupal module of the week on Talking Drupal 514! talkingdrupal.com/514 Your #serverrendered #php can feel like an app with minimal theme changes, all without sacrificing crawlability or resiliency (if JS fails, etc.). It's currently implemented using […]

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 […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

So I gave in and signed up for a Bluesky account: bsky.app/profile/ambientimpact.com I have zero intention of leaving the fediverse - this is mainly so that I can reply to posts on there since that's not yet supported on fed.brid.gy If you've wondered where I've been: I've […]

Hey #Drupal community, want to see something cool? There are no full page loads in this video: all content is swapped out by JavaScript, yet this is 100% server-rendered HTML with every page loadable without JavaScript. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3q1E_6E6ok

Despite how excellent the ships added lately have been, I inevitably go back to my Anaconda because I love it so much. It may handle like a tired elephant in supercruise and a drunken one in SCO, but the memories and voyages we've made are truly […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

PSA: if you don't want your Steam overlay being visible at all in #OBS on #Linux, turns out it's pretty easy to tell Vulkan to have it capture just the game (and optionally mangohud) but not the overlay. Here's #EliteDangerous demonstrating that. This is on […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

I love my Python Mk2, it's such a nice little murder boat in #EliteDangerous. Currently, my "Starbuck" is outfitted for PvE with all fragment canons with high capacity engineering and the screening shell modification. How are my fellow CMDRs running her? #VideoGames #SpaceShips

Reworked the script for setting up the HUD mod with Bottles for all you fellow #EliteDangerous players on #Linux so that it hopefully works on the #SteamDeck now. If anyone has a Steam Deck, I'd love to hear if it works. gitlab.com/Ambient.Impact/edhm-ui-l…
