I hate item durability mechanics in video games

Items or tools breaking is a super annoying mechanic that doesn't make games more fun or challenging imo. I don't mind that much when an item's durability hits zero, it just becomes unusable until you repair it, but I dislike when an item completely vanishes upon breaking it.

Animal Crossing New Horizons' durability mechanic I especially loathe because 1. There is no bar or indicator to show when tools are about to break. 2. Nearly ALL tools break, even the golden tools which are supposed to be a reward for the player's hard work. 3. It discourages players from fully enjoying the game's activities such as fishing and bug catching. I understand axes breaking in New Leaf to prevent the player from having too much power at first, but golden axes are unbreakable.

What the heck did you just say about me, you cocky little freak?

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Venomian Defense Force, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Corneria, and I have over 300 confirmed hits. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire Venomian armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this star system, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying that nonsense to me over the Internet? Think again, Einstein! As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Lylat System and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, pup. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Play time is over, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Andross's Army and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable carcass off the face of the Lylat System, you annoying little fly. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your doggy tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you insane fool. I will shoot fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're dead meat, pal!

This is a very minor nitpick though, I still think most of the new designs are decent/passable otherwise. (Not you, Katt.)
