“Death Stranding” Promotes the Mail Person Lifestyle

Hideo Kojima’s upcoming sci-fi epic, “Death Stranding,” shines light on those who risk it all to deliver the mail.

Your neighborhood mail person and Norman Reedus are tasked with cargo delivery in unspeakable conditions. It’s a thankless job, but someone has to bind the fractured United States back together. Watch out for them inter-dimensional monsters on your route. They’ll get ya.

Mail people share routes and advice–and so does a player-controlled Norman. Yes, offering help to others is a large component in “Death Stranding.” Though a weeb’s lense, it’s obvious Hideo glorifies individuals who are in the delivery business. Jeez Luis, did he create an entire AAA game and possibly new video game genre dedicated to the U.S. Postal Service??? Absolute mad lad, this guy.

Perhaps after the game’s release on Nov. 8 there will be an influx of heroic delivery people. Everything would be right in the world.

Enough goofin’ around, “Death Stranding” will be a milestone in video games. Whether it sucks or not. Either way, mail folks are winning.
