Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 02/08/2026realtime logging is a feature that I don't see out-of-the-box in many engines but that I find extremely essential for debugging. it's been fun this time around to take advantage of Ruby to make it super extensible so I can render arbitrary widgets instead of just text. 011 1
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 20/06/2026in today's episode of kamiina botan, botan journies through purgatorio, paradiso, and inferno, and then is taken into a pocket dimension to smoke hookah. anime of the year, no question. 0103 10

Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 20/04/2026the fediverse is more decentralized than email is. whatever you think of fedi (plenty to hate about it), it's genuinely impressive. arewedecentralizedyet.online 010 1
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 20/04/2026I have no real ill will towards bluesky but it's worth saying that "mastodon.social is being DDOS'd, so much for your ~true~ decentralization" fails to land when, in cases like this, 75% of the fediverse remains operational, vs. -1.4%- of bluesky. mastodon.social and bsky.app are not comparable. 151 5
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 06/04/2026I made a program that generates a 7x7 grid and deletes 7 nodes from it at random as a first pass for testing some graph-based game design ideas and it's honestly fascinating how this simple algo makes such evocative layouts. I feel like these could be FPS maps or something. 180 8
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 05/03/2026even better: what if we rezoned Cesar Chavez??? Why is this Stroad residential-zoned? It keeps killing people and we HAVE to do something about that. We could narrow to two lanes or add bike lanes! and build the whole thing out as a new commercial corridor. Kills like three birds with one stone! 141 4
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 05/03/2026I think the first place to start would be D1 but that's not my n'hood so idk the best options. What if we rezoned this entire stretch of SE 34th into mixed-use commercial/residential but added a series of modal filters to keep car traffic low? 230 3
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 03/03/2026hmm, I definitely have not spent any time in Lightroom so I could be the idiot here for sure, but these are weirdly different shapes, I think? 150 5
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 27/02/2026public.ridereport.com/pdx Another fun thing you can see here: at SE 35th and Salmon, where the greenway switches from Salmon to Taylor, ridership fans out. People struggle to actually follow the twists and turns of Portland's greenways, and this dumps them at Cesar Chavez without a light! 160 6
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 27/02/2026talking about portland streets makes me nostalgic for my job ~2018-2021 helping cities collect data about scooter+ebike rideshare programs. check this out: people prefer to take scooters directly on Hawthorne just as much as they'll bother to take the greenway on salmon! 291 9
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 27/02/2026I spent a little bit of time importing your data into an OpenStreetMaps view and have been playing with color to make something that communicates the point more aggressively 360 6

Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 24/02/2026being left-handed in 2026 is an excellent case study in how being a minority can have structural challenges even when nobody actually cares 020 2
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 20/01/2026love seeing people post pics like this as though they're a huge deal and then I go look at the ticker for the last year and it's basically nothing 130 3

Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 27/09/2025I really liked Silksong. Much more than I expected to, and I liked Hollow Knight quite a bit. 140 4
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 19/09/2025Well, in 2024 there were 23 fatalities for people inside of motor vehicles, and (as far as I can find) exactly 1 fatality for someone on a train. Given that ~78% of trips are in cars and 4.4% in transit, scaling transit deaths by a factor of 17 to match still makes it the safer choice. 240 4

Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 08/08/2025the shape of governance in the utopia looks like this btw in case you were wondering. it's not actually that confusing or impossible or whatever 110 1
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 27/05/2025I set my editor to this font for working on my roguelike mostly as a bit but then immediately got used to it and now it just feels right github.com/seeddisperse... 051 5
Clarity Flowers @clarity.flowers · 26/05/2025Like when I use google maps, it converts that map into useful instructions. But if I want to parcel out a bunch of land into agreed-upon "owners", and to particularly find which which land is "ownerless" so I can claim it myself, a map becomes essential 010 1
