That is almost an exactly even set of irritations.

Very almost exactly. But ending your turn with a failed activation is a hard 'no' for me. I don't want to waste my game time at the table being 'that player who never got to do anything all game' again.

Will only play games where I can sit down and actually play!

"It's not very likely" is the wrong answer.

Basically, I dislike any mechanism that showcases how clever the designer is.

I loathe excessive edge case rules and exceptions.
I will not play rules that require pages of charts and modifiers with slide rule calculations.

I am old. I just want to roll dice and kill things.

I was so much thinner then
I'm rounder than that now.

I am outraged IGO/UGO was not in the final list. I hate that usage!
