      Really, I just love globes. Had one as a kid. Also had a sailing game where you sailed around the world being a pirate, engaging in trade, exploring etc. The globe made the game a lot easier, could like, look back and forth from the globe to your screen to figure out where you were, since you already roughly knew. Played the shit out of that game, probably would’ve platinumed it if steam achievements were a thing.

      Anyways though, the two together formed my brain in a way that any projections just kinda make it hurt a little. Mercators are the worst, of course. But in my head, they’re all supposed to look how they look on a globe.
