Anna Bell

One hobby that I’ve been kind of falling back on lately is playing the ukulele. As such, I’m always on the hunt for new songs to learn that fit my general demeanor, my vocal range, and my beginner-level strumming skill set. One of the songs I’ve really been eager to learn is “Good Riddance” from Hades, for a number of reasons. Vocally, it’s really satisfying because of the intertwined harmony, the chords aren’t too much of a stretch, and it gives me a chance to work on finger picking.

However, because of this, YouTube has been recommending tons of Hadestown videos to me as a result, and I’m just not prepared for that amount of emotional devastation, especially since Annapurna Interactive has a new title coming out later this week. I’ve gotta save my spoons, man.

Wait. Frick.

Kitfox Games made a surprise announcement earlier today when they said their innovative upcoming game Boyfriend Dungeon is releasing today.

Pfft, no, of course I’m not launching a coup to take over The Queue. That’s too much rhyming.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we may deign to answer, peasants. Bring me the first petitioner.

Hey guys! I’ve been on vacation for the first time in two years! Anything big happen in the past two weeks?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer them by cracking a joke or two because we’re deeply upset and cope with gallows humor because otherwise we probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.

One of the best parts of adventuring to new places is meeting iconic new characters and palling around with them. This guy just told me I’m his favorite mushroom tender, so I’m kind of a big deal.

This is The Queue, where you have questions and we’ll give you the answers via mycelium network.

Hey y’all, it’s time to wake up in hell and probably get ready to fight about video games again, which is its own discrete, but no less tormenting, version of hell.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions but you may not like our answers.

The day after a major patch is usually filled with some hiccups and other fixes to smooth things out, but whether or not this is disruptive can depend largely on your expectations and perspectives.

This is the Queue, where you ask us questions and we supply the answers. Quite.

So, since I like to pretend I’m a good parent on Instagram, I’ve been trying to include a bunch of one-off STEM experiments and crafts in my kids’ summertime fun. Ice cream in a bag and fluffy slime were hits, but the former came with a lot of complaining that their arms were going to fall off, and fluffy slime, well, we make slime all the time, but without the shaving cream, which made it smell weird, and ugh, can’t we just play Roblox, mom?

But last week, we exploded soap in the microwave, and now they’re demanding more explosions. On the one hand, I can’t exactly blame them, but on the other hand, I feel like I’ve crossed a terrible threshold in their little lizard brains.

This the The Queue, where if you ask us questions we’ll take long enough to answer for this comically large fuse to burn down. Oh, nothing important, be chill.

Between Day of the Devs, Wholesome Games, Future Games, and the Indie Games features at E3 and Summer Games Fest, and now the Steam Next Fest, my Steam wishlist has swollen from just under 200 games to well over 300 in the space of a week.

Ah, to be a former Alterra employee building my own spacious underwater seabase piece by painstaking piece.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we can totally answer while we go find more titanium and watch the Nintendo panel. Multitasking is a thing, it’s fine.
