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

Pretty much a lot of procedural "content". I guarantee big publishers will capitalize on all of this AI to replace writers with generated stories/quests/etc. No idea what to make of this.

I would disagree, some of my favorite games are procedurally generated.

Factorio, RimWorld or valheim for example.

Oh totally. I didn't mean to imply "all procedural content = bad". Terraria comes to mind and is one of my favorite game of all time. The "world" is procedural when created, but there are "key" areas/objectives that don't change. I'm thinking more along the lines of Fallout 4's "radiant" junk that big publishers salivate over because mountains of endless+cheap content = ($o$)
