    Games with a forced stealth section when the rest of the game doesn't support or allow stealth at all. I don't mind a forced stealth section when the game at least allows you to play stealth outside of that - Ghost Recon wildlands, Metro Exodus - games where you can legit play stealthy or can run and gun just fine. But when you are forced to play against the games mechanics to be stealthy drives me insane. The stealth level in the first Hotline Miami game is a great (or terrible) example. That is a game that was built around fast, efficient and brutal combat. But for 1 level lets just throw all that in the trash and make you basically guess your way though the level where none of your tools or skills from the rest of the game apply. And then after it, never use anything you might have gleaned from that section ever again.

    In this (ridiculous) scenario of America being beaten down enough to lose control of itself to China, there is no way China are left in any better state. No one is going to win ww3. Maybe someone loses less, but there is no winning that fight.

    Also, the jump from 'attack on carrier group' to 'America is under the thumb' is cosmic to say the least.

    I was in that same boat until I accidentally shorted a car battery to ground via my wedding ring. That was close enough that now I have a silicone one I wear while working on things.

    I want to love the Silmarillion, but reading it feels like English homework.
