It was only a matter of time until the cabin fever started setting in, I suppose, what with all the waiting for Stardew Valley's big 1.7 update and Haunted Chocolatier. It's a similar phenomenon to GTA 6, where the eternal waiting inevitably leads fans to become untethered and start doing wacky things just for the fun of it.

There's no finer example than Reddit user Holozard who, of their own volition (I hope), spent over 150 real hours sleeping for 1,000 years straight in Stardew Valley. That might sound like a massive waste of time (it is, really) but it was all for science. And it only gets worse when you realise what it took to achieve.
