It's been half a decade, I still can't fucking believe this meme is still going

...it's been 5 years since Among Us?

[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup, took off soon after COVID hit

Technically it was released like 2018 or something, but it wasn't popular untill then

I wonder if the Henry Stickmin collection was the reason it took off

[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Steam says the collection was released August 7th, 2020. If I remember correctly it was earlier in the year that amogus popped off. But, then again, it has been almost 5 years...

Edit: I was wrong, Google trends shows the initial bump right at August 2020. Just misremembering
