Now I get what people say when they’re working on a project — the bigger, the better, and the more likely they are to say this! I decided to put more work into Bub’s desk and desktop, which meant that more work would have had to have been placed into my bedroom as well as a side effect. I am completely happy with this, although removing knots from wires has not been as fun as I had anticipated… especially when I’m given little to no help doing so, because I’m not particularly good at this. It all eventually gets done though, the topic of conversation shifts and we begin to e told what “big bad” we’re up against. As much as I still don’t know why visual changes happen in the real lives of so many of these real-life participants, I still hold out the tiniest sliver of hope. There are two old games in particular that I’d love to see brought over here in some way. And I absolutely do love going off on tangents, even if they are mental. Isn’t this part of the purpose of blogging? (But believe you me, for the sake of business writing I can get and stay on aubject!)

Back at it again for the next… oh, several days.

Bub and I have continued to play Among Us more now that Christmas has passed, and now that they actually have more DLC out I’ve gone ahead and gotten that for him. We’ve made a sizable dent in levels and are learning the maps that we were less familiar with, like the one that they added in between us last playing and… now. One game was remarkably funny in that seven people saw us (Bub and me) do the medbay scan, which an Impostor can not fake, and somehow managed to decide to vote me out two rounds later, in the same game, which caused dead chat to light up as soon as I was thrown from the airlock like “crew is stupid this round” in all capital letters. To be fair though, they deserved it, and Impostors predictably won that game because they’d managed to kill enough members of crew or throw them from the airlock.

As long as Bub’s behavior is amenable to it we’re going to play plenty of Among Us this afternoon.
