Okay, I've been convinced. Which of her books should I start with?

Cope cages on Western tanks, I think. Russians have had them for awhile but theirs look like shit.

I'm not entirely sure what they're supposed to accomplish, which is what makes it a cope ig. That's going to be irrelevant unless someone travels back to the 80s and steals some HEAT ammo. The tiniest amount of RPG or Javelin protection is my best guess.

I'm really very much not a City builder guy so grain of salt here: I really enjoyed Banished.

I dislike the scale of other games- in stuff like Cities Skylines I tend to get overwhelmed by how much is going on and everything I need to make work together. So I guess it makes sense that I prefer a village builder over a city builder lol

There's so much potential for a Halo game that isn't just a shooter.

I think a survival horror game based around the Flood would be amazing- something Dead Space-y but Halo. That would be incredibly difficult to make, and it's never going to happen, but it would be cool.

Arkane's immersive sims are fantastic. Dishonored 1 and 2 and Prey (2017). Brilliant worldbuilding and interesting stories that you can interact with. I don't think either is particularly stat heavy or grindy, but I have an extremely high tolerance for that sort of thing so maybe my perspective is skewed.

Either option is viable. Depends on the question. Usually things are either downvoted because it's too stupid to be a legitimate question and it's clearly just someone being inflammatory, or it's a question that, while arguably stupid, doesn't really fit with the idea of the community.

"What are your thoughts on photosynthesis" is a post that's -2 right now. It's probably getting downvoted because it's just a fucking question. It's kinda stupid, but only in the sense that I have no clue what they're wanting to hear about photosynthesis. It doesn't fit the community. Goddamnit I still instinctively type subreddit. It would work better for a general discussion community.

Sometimes there's a rare question that's actually incredibly stupid and clearly not someone trolling, but they give zero further information. Like "Could time start moving faster due to climate change?" How do you answer something like that without knowing how the hell they came to that conclusion? "No." isn't exactly a satisfying response, but it's pretty much the only one you've got.

Hell, your question isn't a particularly great example of a 'no stupid questions' question. It's really more of a shower thought.

Is.. is that an F-5 Tiger with a gun pod?(fuel pod?) Where the hell is this I'm going on vacation there.

So many gun laws are just fucking stupid. Tons of stuff is banned because it looks scary.

SBRs being illegal is pretty dumb.

I had a 15 minute session once because I offhandedly gave my players a foldable boat like 15 sessions before. I had intended for them to have to cross a mountain range controlled by Dwarfs who'd ask them to assist with a dragon hunt in exchange for passage.

But instead? Nah, they use boat.

Requiring IDs for that is extremely stupid, too.
