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

I like stamina bars in many circumstances, but I've decided I hate them specifically in life sim games like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and similar - at least unless there's an easy and fun way to re-fill them. I won't write them off entirely, I think it can be done well, but in practice in these games they often serve no purpose but to frustrate you.

Good point! How is "my time?" I've been thinking of getting it to play with my gf. We really like dinkum.
