The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let's also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

Hunger or thirst mechanics in anything that's not explicitly a survival game.

Best hunger mechanics are the ones that don't harm your character when you're hungry, but you do get a buff for eating.

Valheim's like that. Don't want to eat? Fine. Go multiple days without and you'll still be ok. But if you want your hp to be all it can be, you'll want to eat up before going out to fight.

Valheim's hunger / food-as-major-buffs mechanic is legit the best way I've seen any video game handle food.
