Mine is the lag in Stellaris, and lack of options to let me impact it. Like let me disable the ability for the AI to make habitats FFS!

Current game pet peeve - the delay after each enemy acts in combat in Baldur's Gate 3. I absolutely love this game, but big combats take longer than they should because after each enemy acts, there seems to be a 5-10 second delay before moving on to the next.

Favorite game pet peeve - The overall poor performance/memory management in HBS's Battletech game. Again, love the game, have put nearly 2000 hours into it over the years, but damn the performance can just be painful sometimes.

Ugh turn based games that have overly long turns and don't let you speed them up is so tilting.

Like I'm here to play a game, not watch the same 10 second cut scene 5000 times.

I have a 10 year old CPU and I think Baldur's Gate 3 has better performance than Battletech sometimes.

Yeah I've started to knit during battles because of how long it takes sometimes. Especially since my main character is a Barbarian, so she just smashes 2 times and then her turn is done.

Similar when I played her in my actual dnd campaign a few years ago.
