The Queue: “Hope” is the thing with feathers

If a poem is quoted in a video game, it’s on topic, right? Subnautica: Below Zero wasn’t as in-depth or as completely nerveshattering as the original, but it did have some bright points, including the narrative. In terms of immersion (pun not intended) I really liked how the original’s story was told, but the story itself (and the subtext on the human condition and what makes us human) in BZ hit for me — though of course I appreciate the overarching subtext through the franchise that big corporations are the true predator we should be afraid of.

The Queue: Boo who?

I know, my last Queue before Halloween I usually show y’all my costume, but I unfortunately forgot to take a selfie of myself in my Halloween costume. This one on a totally normal day with nothing different from usual will have to do. What do you… no, there’s nothing different, I always wear this silver necklace. Don’t, no, it’s… no, it’s fine. Don’t.

Don’t.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and nothing is different from any other day so of course we’ll provide the answers.


Overwatch 2 to test a 6v6 mode in season 14, allowing tank players to have each others’ backs again

One of the core changes pitched to differentiate the original Overwatch from the cooler, hipper Overwatch 2 which actually made it to the game was the swap from a six player team to a five player team, but community outcry has caused the development team to re-evaluate that change, starting with a trial run of 6v6 in Season 14.

The Queue: Soup Season

It happened slowly and in fits and starts, but I feel like it might be, at long last, soup season. For me, it’s also baked pasta season just because I don’t feel sweaty just thinking about running the oven, so let’s not be too picky about it. Of course, in about a week I’m going to be sad that summer basil season is then also therefore over, and also very annoyed at having to wear socks constantly for the next few months, but for now can I interest you in some corn chowder?

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll give you the answer with some croutons, probably.
