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.

Bub and I are going to play Among Us today like we did last Christmas Eve! On the PC, on Switch, either or.

Since a friend mentioned it and I liked it enough to try it, I’ve begun to play on the Skeld “public” (in all actuality, it fits the definition of private server if you want to get technical) server. I had eventually begun to grow tired of not being able to get into public games on the official server because of how quickly they fell out, the glitching that comes with some of them such as drops due to “lag”, and how public games could — and very often would — go on this server. So far, I have had absolutely no problem with public games on Skeld… that, and they have variations of the official game that make it quite fun to play, such as Cops & Robbers where one person is the Sheriff and can shoot the Impostor (although if they’re wrong, they and that person die, and it actually winds up helping the Impostor out), clones (where everyone “is” you, making it that much harder to find out who the Impostor is), and zombies where your goal is not to get infected.

The people on Skeld also tend to be really nice, and chatting with them is enjoyable as I’ve come to learn.

I am much better at playing Among Us than I thought I would be, or even was when I first began playing it. I continue to be an excellent crewmate, although on a standard game I am also not the worst at being an Impostor (although if I am the only one, or the only one left, that’s when it starts to get difficult for me, heh).
