Gregory's Server@cavyherd @odoben but with mercator i would have to do so much math in order to figure out how big everything actually is, you know? like the point of having a map is i can measure travel distances, sizes of countries etc. but if i don’t have a globe so that i can actually measure these things then i have to do math! and i don’t want to do math! so i just don’t do it at all because if i handwave the whole thing entirely then i won’t get the problem with wanting everything to be mathematically accurate
@skye @odoben
Whereas I would print a scan of my map onto a sheet of paper, coat the printed side with transparent acrylic medium (gloss, to be clear*), wash the paper off leaving the clear printed image, & then stretch the result over an appropriately sized sphere. (Might have to cut darts at the poles to make it work properly.)
But, yes, I could definitely see myself disappearing into my belly-button on the math challenge. If I could math 😉
* heh. Pun not intended, but I'll go with it 😊
