Like I&#8217;ll be playing Death Stranding 2 today (so I hope the servers for that are okay), but that&#8217;ll be tonight at 10pm after a day of food prep, cooking, hosting, visiting, and before I sit down at the console I&#8217;ll be walking at least 10km.<\/p>\n<p>And even if you are on it 15 hours, so what? As a former retail worker I can safely say a lot of people will only get today (and maybe tomorrow) off if they&#8217;re lucky, and just want to veg out and not engage with anyone. Christmas 2009 saw me mostly sitting on my bum playing Uncharted 2, (as I was working retail and also had university exams in January).
