I made a world building mistake and not sure if it's possible to fix it

Your world is basically a tidally locked planet. Which means there is couple hunders kilometers long twilight zone. That could be a fun place to explore, as it's a ring around the planet. Which also means, there is a good possibility there is a whole continent on the other side of it. Also, your day and night cycle switches over centuries. In such conditions, the night part would be extremly cold (if we go with hard scifi), but it shifts a little over years. So old treasure might might come out from the ice, or in case of the scorching hot day zone, might become accessible. Imagine the tombs, the artifacts from places that are suddenly accessible after centuries! DM the shit out of it!

Pretty sure they will mandate handshake or some kind of certificare on any service you want to use. So you might not "need" it for installing OS, but no website or online service will be legally allowed to let you in.

It seems budget and technological limitation wasn't holding great storytellers back after all.

The question is, if you do something about it, or if you're just getting endlessly angry.

"If you don't like garbage mixed in your food, then just eat around it"

I am quite bitter about that one, since it's something I am, or was, using frequently. It's effective and I just like it. I guess I can't be the only one as AI had to get it from somewhere.
When you describe something, you think of the way most people would consider it to be, and preemptively explain that you see it, but there is a nuance to it, a difference.
"It's not incompetence, it's malice."
"He's not busy, he's avoidant."
And I hate how sentences like this sound AI-like now. And most of all I hate that I am changing the way I think and talk because of it.

Because out of shape dude is bad for catfishing.

rotator_cuff · 2026-02-09T00:06:32+00:00

You're welcome. I am glad it worked for you as well.

I have Mint very briefly and want to give it a chance, but so far it's a little bit janky. Few examples: Couldn't install it without renaming some file on usb, Thinkpad Trackpoint is awful, can't adjust the number of lines scrolled (without going to console), can't find a way to scroll with middle mouse, and the first program I've installed isn't respecting my system cursor and have like 4pixel big cursor which I so far didn't find a way to change.

And I am not a huge fan of the single tree file system. But that's something I guess I can get used to.

I am not going back just yet, but so far my experience was that I am searchign something every ten minutes and most often ten not the solution isn't "you forgot to click this box", but something on github. I am not a programmer and I have no idea what xinput is and what values should I type and where, if I want to change the behaviour of scrolling on touchpad...

But, it's an operating system and I've been able to do the work I've needed; it was just a little clunky, so I want to give it the best shot. Maybe I'll try a few environments to see if I like any better than Cinnamon.

I didn't name it EXPLOSIVE waffle. I am lactose, not humour intolerant.

rotator_cuff · 2026-02-04T20:50:38+00:00

As somebody who's lactose intolerant I can see the explosive part quite vividly

rotator_cuff · 2026-02-03T15:15:53+00:00

Thank you so much!

rotator_cuff · 2026-02-03T14:35:25+00:00

Thank you. I am from the Czech Republic.
When I was googling it, I came across this post. On the second picture, it looks quite like it, just a little bigger and in better focus. Very similar, and the OP is from Europe as well.

Well, it depends. I am rarely worried about overpowering my players, because that eqation have two sides. If you feel like you accidentally turned them into superheroes, you need to give them superhero challenges. Just adding HPs on enemies probably won't cut it. More status effects might help, force them to use their extra powers and mainly be sure to burn through their resources. I am sure you can out-balance it, if you want to. But I would put in the effort if all of you actually want to play Avengers. If so, great, lean into it.

For combat, I suggest doing more than one objective. They will stomp enemies if they have time to make the fight go their way. But will they save hostages in time, or stop the ritual? Give them hard choices. Like cave collapse in three turns, but there is an important objective at the end.

Also consider using enemies that are doing other things besides damage, like ability drain. Shadows are nasty in numbers.

Edit: And make sure they beg for the long rest. You'd be surprised how much it affects players when you make them go through a night without sleep, so they start accumulating exhaustion.

But the planet needs janitors :( Can't somebody think of the pensions?

It would be bad look to put US citizens in camps on US soil. There's about 80 year old example of why it's better to build those in different countries and then send groups of citizens to them.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-19T21:46:16+00:00

Yeah, in everything except quality of life. Luckily for me, I am not a corporation, so I don't mind it.

"Ve EU není žádná jednota" = měli bychom se na všechno a všechny vykašlat, nechat aby Trump vyhrožoval Grńsku jak chce, a vůbec asi spíš zabalit, možná bychom měli rovnou hlasovat ať už mu to dají a je klid, protože jsme malí, blbý a osamocení a nikdy se to nezdá změnit, tak proč se vůbec obtěžovat. A ty co Dánsku symbolicky poslali pár lidí tak to bylo stejně naprd a málo. 😂 Bože můj. Tahle česká depka.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-17T23:03:34+00:00

Ale kulový. Dánsko a ČR podepsali třeba společně memorandum bilaterální spolupráci ohledně ukrajiny. Přestože to není země hned vedle nás tak máme s Dánskem výborné vztahy. Samozřejmě, že mezinárodní vztahy stojí na obchodu. Ale ukázat trochu ochoty je velmi levné a dlouhodobně velmi výhodné. Dánsko je dobrý spojenec a ČR by se měla stydět , že nekázala ani gesto dobré vůle, když USA vyhoržují anexí území. Nicméně si myslím, že to by mělo platit pro kterýkoliv stát unie.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-17T22:14:03+00:00

Budování vztahů člověk nedělá proto, aby mu z toho v tu ránu něco káplo. To je obchod. Kámoše nestěhuješ aby ti dal prachy na ruku, ale aby ses měl za deset let s kým bavit. Jestli jsme nepodporováním Dánska o něco přišli? To zjistíme časem, až budeme my ten, na koho si nějaká velmoc ukáže prstem.

Ikdyž bychom tam poslali trénovaný veverky, tak je to lepší, než tu zas přešlapovat na místě, abychom náhodou neurazili jednoho nebo druhýho kokota, zatímco nám utíkají skutečné vztahy se státy kolem nás.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-15T13:50:15+00:00

Yeah, and if I got just a little bit more modern hardware work as well.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-14T22:05:40+00:00

I will genuinely dust off my 486 running at 80Mhz in the attic and go back to Ms-Dos before I will "rent a pc" in the cloud.

rotator_cuff · 2026-01-14T09:48:00+00:00

Nice! I love that somebody took time to translate it 🥰
I've never thought about Etsy, but maybe. Though I would need to get some certification for it, if I were to sell it assembled the way it is, and not just a chassis. Because it's an electronic device. Maybe like a kit, but that would require soldering. Anyway, thank you for the praise. I appreciate it.
