Oh, I know.  But he/she keeps using it as an excuse for lots of things - like the camp not being on the map, and the reason why goblins haven't found the grove, and why my characters only adventure for 5 minutes and need to take an entire 24 hours to rest when they have a tadpole eating their brain - and yet he/she and others still feel that this somehow makes sense.
Say what you want about Pathfinder Kingmaker's timed events.  At least it makes sense and provides a legit immersive world.  You really feel like you're adventuring and resting as little as possible.  Same with Solasta.  I don't feel like I'm being prompted to End Day in either of those games.  I'm m encouraged to push on - and in neither game do I have a tadpole in my head.
