dedoporno: It's basically what we do here but in a video game. 10 dudes on a spaceship run around and do some silly tasks (mostly time-wasters - pressing buttons, connecting wires and other trivial dumb stuff that take time to complete).
Reminds me of SS13(Space Station 13) a bit.

dedoporno: The base mechanics are very similar. I've been watching streamers play this and it's very entertaining also the games are pretty quick, like 10-15 minutes tops per game.
Sounds nice, but dang that's fast.....I usually like my games a bit slower. I mean a session over in 15 minutes? That's a tad too fast for my tastes usually. Sounds like a nice game, though.

I don't know what that is but I've seen others making the same connection so it's probably inspired by it (or stole from it :))

The point is that you can do a few games with different team layouts and it doesn't take weeks of everyone's time.

dedoporno: Has anyone here played Among Us?
I actually thought about asking here a week ago but then I thought it must've been known to everyone here already. Turns out I was wrong. I'm up for it if we ever play some games there.

@Others Also, what's more they even have free mobile app versions if you just wanna figure out if its for you.
I played it for the first time last week, but my friend's been telling me about it for a long time before that. Yeah it's good, funny and well-paced.

We could have a gog mafia day-trip-to-outer-space together. How nice!

I have not, but I've watched a lot of people playing it on Twitch. It's hilarious to watch for sure. Have to have voice chat to play and people would have to be able to speak a common language. but I would think most everyone can speak English.

I would be up for trying it sometime, but I think time differences would be the hardest thing to coordinate any games.

Technically the game is supposed to be played with type chat but people on Twitch play on discord since it's easier and most of them know each other. I think we can make it work though, even if it's a bit harder. The only real problem (maybe besides stage fright as maybe not everyone is comfortable actually speaking to others) is the timezones but we can still give it a shot some weekend.

I have a terrible accent. But I'm ok with live chat if we agree on something. Timezones won't be a problem for me since I don't sleep.

You have no idea what terrible accent really is ;)

It was made many years back, so probably one or the other.

Essentially it's a multiplayer "game" where everyone gets odd roles and jobs(some public, and some private...i.e. unknown to some others) on a space station.

And it's not just the standard jobs/roles....they have things like clowns and vampires and such, iirc.

Voice chat to play? Well that's a nope for me, then.

(I don't share much personal info with near anyone.....including what I sound like)

It says you need to dl the discord app. Does that mean it only works on mobile? Would it work on a regular PC as well?

I'd say no one gives a fuck how anyone sounds so you shouldn't be too conscious about it. Our native speakers will have to cut us some slack and I'm pretty sure they will :)

It's a regular windows download.

Well, I got myself the game so whomever feels like giving it a try at some point hit me up and I'll befriend you if we aren't already friends.

I meant will it work on a browser based version of discord? I ask as I run discord without an app through my browser.

Yes, I would if I played....and I promise I totally wouldn't be giggling like a girl over how some people pronounce things. ;D

I am still thinking about it, but i'll keep this in mind if I go through with all of it.
