Show HN: Clawd Penguin – a virtual hangout for when Claude goes down

Claude's down again! So while it's down, come chill in my new hangout space: https://clawdpenguin.com

It's a little ASCII world you drop into — roll a companion (18 species, gacha rarity, 1% shiny), wander around, chat with whoever else got kicked out of their Claude tab. Built on a Cloudflare Worker + Durable Object for the multiplayer state, spatial grid for nearby player lookups, plain canvas rendering with no build step on the client. Sprites are the buddy sprites pulled straight from the CC source. There's a live Claude status board in the corner so you know when it's time to get back to work.

See you in there!

Has life really come to this?
