Amidst what can only be described as uncertain and unprecented times, a Melbourne man is taking comfort in following his normal weekend routine of staying indoors and staring at screens all day.





Joined by millions of others who have been forced indoors against their will due to Social Distancing and Quarantine guidelines, St Kilda East resident Jake Tripp is gearing up for a big weekend of screen time.





Unlike most, Jake chooses to spend as much time as he can indoors in isolation, regardless of whether he's allowed outside or not. "I'm as invested in my mental health as I am in this PC setup" said Jake.





This comes after his second-straight week of working from home, where he sits at the same desk and stares at a different, less enjoyable screen all day.





Speaking to the fresh serve, Jake laid out his Saturday plans: "I reckon if I knock over 2 hours of cleaning in the morning, that'll earn me about 6 of gaming in the afternoon...the ratios are different on the weekend."

It's expected that Jake will catch up on his favourite shows while playing games on his second-monitor, a habit that has since made it difficult for him to ever focus on just one task.





It's also believed that several of his former gaming friends have downloaded the new Call of Duty game seeking to take similar advantage of this sudden abundance of guilt-free gaming time. "The boys are back...they always come back."
