>Forces us to bumrush stupid arbitrary tasks
Events and decision trees have ruined this genre and grand strategy. I predict in 10 years or so we'll have the ultimate "4x" that's just an unholy combo of Rimworld, Stellaris, and a Roguelite deckbuilder which will be praised for the innovation of not moving any units yourself, and everyone will talk about their "stories" when every game basically plays the same despite the 4,000 different decision popups you can make.

it's truly over

Watch the hirexen runs to see if he chokes again. The Deus ex invisible enemy had a great solution to the stupid game opening a new exe when it loads, just watch it for 5 minutes. And the Hitman blood money run was great, just a solid run.

guy who was the highlight of last years ESA with multiple games and multiple chokes came and started choking and game overing while playing Tiny Toon Adventures earlier. He fucks one thing up and gets immediately tilted and starts fucking up constantly afterwards. Thankfully it came at the last stages where getting a Game Over only brings you back to the same stage
