The Queue: Nine Point TwoTwoTwosday
Sometimes you can only read a word so many times before it just looks like nonsense. The word “two” meets that bar almost immediately, making everything so much more unhinged today.
This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we supply the answers.
The Queue: Heart
Well, it finally happened. Cory finally got me with an earworm. And I’m not even mad about it.

The Queue: High Comedy
The Queue knows what it did. This is why we can’t have nice things, Cory.
This is The Queue, where you… well, we’re here to answer questions, provided you get around to asking them.
The Queue: Atmospheric storytelling
After last week’s article about survival games, Liz has been working through Subnautica, which made me want to go back through Subnautica. There’s a lot I like about this game, but the way they use atmospheric storytelling to both show you where to go without showing you where to go, while also heightening the utter dread of what could be lurking out there in the water just out of vision, is just freaking brilliant.

The Queue: Self Motivation
One of the most common questions you get as a professional freelancer is how you can stay motivated. I have to confess I’ve been having some trouble with this lately — I always tend to get a little sluggish at this point in the year due to the lack of sun, but the general, you know, everything right now has made this winter especially trying. I do tend to do better with staying disciplined and in a routine rather than trying to work up the motivation, because I usually don’t want to do anything. However, I’ve found a little lifehack lately that really cuts through that 2:45 brain fog.
It’s coffee. The lifehack for staying awake is another cup of coffee.

The Queue: hwat
As I gear up for a Tuesday where there’s a lot of small things happening to attend to but nothing major, so I’m a little overwhelmed but I can muscle through, I am reminded, once again, that I am a jinx and of course more things will explode today.

The Queue: Let it snow?
Now, I’m not usually one for the laws of attraction or manifestation or whatever, but it always feels like a wasted opportunity to me if it’s really cold out and it doesn’t snow. So.

The Queue: Everyone is fired.
I don’t know why nobody informed me that Cozy Grove is by far the best, most me game ever, but everyone who didn’t make me buy this game earlier is fired. Anna Washenko is safe. The rest of you? Fired.
That’s a pun, because a character in Cozy Grove is literally a fire. You still have to come in. Sorry for any confusion!
This is The Queue where, if you ask us questions, we will definitely answer because we might get a merit badge.
