I've noticed this with a few games. With even modest stretches between updates (say 2-3 months), it becomes easy to forget that in-game time only moved a short distance with each update.
One in particular, I think the last 3 or 4 updates have only spanned one day each, with a more reasonable amount of activity in each day than this game was pushing, and people were overly concerned about this character or that one not making an appearance in those 4 days.
Pile on the crazy amount of things MC manages to accomplish in a day in this one, and time is just a blur.
