I’m a Linux system admin, I literally do this for a living, and I usually feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.

Sometimes I like to make up horrific magic items if they’re in the dungeon of an evil wizard or lich or something. Nothing that has impact on the players, just spooky flavor.
An orb that intercepts the Sending or Message spell when it’s used to call for help, and redirects them to a recorded message that mocks the sender.
An amulet that nullifies the effects of all wishes except for ones made by the Wish spell. This includes wishes upon shooting stars, wishing wells, wishing bugs, wishbones, birthday candles, white horses, dandelions, and the hopes of children. This effect extends for 100 miles and there is no save against it.
Collar of unlimited command - wearer of the collar is subject to the Command spell, but without the restriction of instructions that can’t be followed. So something like “fit through that keyhole” will be followed even though it’s impossible. It will be made possible, horribly.
Heck you get that on stackoverflow and github pages.
I post on a forum where you need to be a certified professional admin to post there, it’s a thing for work. And people are dumb there too, it never ends.
“Why you running the Linux version? Just use windows” Oh why didn’t I think of that? Because we’re an enterprise application! I don’t get to pick the platform I just fix the damn thing.
I don’t know what people see in that game. Friends talked me into buying it, and it just feels like it’s punishing you for playing it.
First boss annihilates you. Okay, that was an intentional thing. First thing you encounter after that annihilates you. Okay, that’s showing that some enemies aren’t meant to be fought. There are some soldiers, they aren’t too bad, then after you get past them there’s a boss that annihilates you. Well let’s go exploring, found myself in a swamp where just being there kills you.
Okay, that isn’t fun.
Go this way you’re dead, go that way you’re dead, try something new you’re dead, explore you’re dead.
If you liked Frostpunk, have a look at Ixion.
You’re on a space station, basically the same thing. Except it’s one large campaign, not like Frostpunk’s limited format. Honestly I think Frostpunk is the superior game, but Ixion is pretty good.
