In the sim, at "Year 3 Month 9" I apparently "lost all hope and quitted your PhD".
In my real one (20+ years ago), I submitted my thesis after 3 years and 6 months, by which point I was no longer on speaking terms with my supervisor and was hanging on to my sanity by the skin of my teeth.
My viva went surprisingly well, after which I did the minor corrections that were requested, handed in a copy of my thesis, packed up my stuff and left that hateful group behind me.
