I should have expected this to become a problem.

In case it needs to be said, I feel like adults scaring children on Among Us VR will never be appropriate.

There is nothing even remotely humorous or even funny about this, especially when the bad actors in question — and, look, I don’t care who you are, where you stream, if you stream (although that makes it even worse as far as this whole thing is concerned), or how many people are subscribed to your streams or watch them, you’re still a bad actor if you do this — are scaring children to the point that they scream and cry, and then getting their supporters to laugh over it. You wouldn’t be doing these things if not for clout, and you wouldn’t be posting clips or VODs of these to the streaming sites that you use if you didn’t want your supporters to see what you were doing and laugh right along with you. Children should safely be able to play video games in… what is it, 2022 now? We’re still in 2022, right? Give them at least that, especially when the game in question is a family-friendly game. Don’t actually make Innersloth go to the time and trouble of tightening up rules in these games to make this harder to do, even though I would be in full support of them if they actually did this — like making it to where children couldn’t game with adults, that reports were acted on quicker and more stringently, anything that would actually help this problem out…

Bub and I are both sick with something not COVID.

Our noses are congested, our throats are sore, we’re both coughing, the whole nine.

I’ve been testing myself for COVID though as needed and am luckily coming back negative on all tests.

So naturally we played Among Us today and this hilariously awesome little gem happened.

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.
