[Meta] Just wondering what people think about questions for non-canon game mechanics

So, pretty much every video game contains elements that aren't canon. Soldiers recover from bullet wounds within seconds, the Dragonborn can carry a hundred pounds of cheese while wearing nothing but underwear, XCOM soldiers wait patiently for the aliens to move around and shoot them. These things have nothing to do with the actual universe and exist solely as game play mechanics, so what do you think? Should we indulge questions about these and come up with utterly non canon answers, or should we dismiss them as artifacts of the medium and potentially violate the Watsonian rule?

Some of the most interesting threads I've seen have come from trying to explain game mechanics from an in-universe perspective. Ask sparingly, but an occasional question like that isn't a problem.

If you're tempted to say that it's just a game mechanic so everyone should just shut up, then you should move on. That thread isn't for you, and that's fine, but there's no benefit to sitting there festering.
