    This is an actual boomer moment. Man they think they’re making video games sound sooo scary but literally everyone not a boomer knows what among us is except these fools. I wouldn’t be surprised if some amazonian tribes know what among us is.

    He played a video game in which you kill people! Which is, like, most video games.

    Ah, yes, Among Us, truly the most killer-y game of all killer games. Only a truly nefarious person would play that. In case they got the wrong guy, we should search the small group of other people who willingly played this dreadful game.

    Do I even need a /s?

    I love how so many people here don’t see the dude made a shitpost trolling the news. He literally went “killer amogus lmao” and the news grabbed it like he was serious.

    They knew what they were doing when they didn’t include the game title in the headline.

    Oh no, he played one of the most popular games of the last decade? I’ll bet he played Balatro recently, too!

    That’s it, guys, he’s clearly a degenerate psychopath.

    Oh, ffs, Among Us and that racing game with the tumbling surfaces (wtf was that called again?) were the hot games that year, it seemed like everyone took at least one turn through them. Zoom happy hours, sourdough bread, The Wellerman - it was an insanely odd year for fads.

    First pass I read as Mangione played the CEO in among us and they were in a discord group together, and admitted that that was a very eerie circumstance. But nope, Mangione is just a normal 20 something.
