turning a big dial on my fictional planet that says "questionably habitable climates" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right
questionably habitable like desert planet with survivable poles or like dummy thick atmosphere planet with survivable layers
living on a blimp on a planet that has a layer of earth-like atmosphere halfway up and then Venus tier crushing acid death on the surface would be a cool sci-fi setting, imagine how gnarly and dramatic falling would be, have characters speculate about if you'd die before you hit the ground and stuff
